T4 gene 32 protein (Single-stranded DNA binding protein, SSB)
Cat No: FNK-02-040
Storage: -20°C Size: 200µg
Description
T4 gene 32 protein is a single-stranded DNA binding protein from phage T4 which binds to single-stranded DNA with high specificity (1, 2). It is involved in DNA replication and recombination. The T4 phage-derived SSB gene was expressed in E.coli and the protein was highly purified. MW is 33.5 kDa.
Applications
Promoting DNA replication and recombination by stabilizing single-stranded DNA (1)
Increase specificity and yields of long PCR products (3)
Quality Assurance
Greater than 95% of protein determined by SDS-PAGE (CBB staining) The absence of endonucleases and exonucleases was confirmed.
