Thermo Scientific™ Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (20 U/µL), 500 Unites

Thermo Scientific Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) is a template-independent DNA polymerase that catalyzes the repetitive addition of deoxyribonucleotides to the 3'-OH of oligodeoxyribonucleotides and single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. TdT requires an oligonucleotide of at least three nucleotides to serve as a primer. With RNA as template TdT shows variable performance which strongly depends upon the tertiary structure of acceptor RNA 3'-end and the nature of nucleotide. Generally, it is lower than using DNA as a template.

Features

• Incorporates modified nucleotides (e.g., fluorescein-, biotin-, aminoallyl-labeled nucleotides)
