T4 gene 32 protein (Single-stranded DNA binding protein, SSB) (5x 200 ug)
T4 gene 32 protein (Single-stranded DNA binding protein, SSB)
Cat. No. FNK-02-040-5
Store at -20°C
Size 200µg x5
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.
Form
10 mg/ml in 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 100mM NaCl, 0.5mM dithiothreitol, 1mM EDTA, 50% glycerol
Data Link
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot P03695 (VHED_BPT4)
