3’-terminal PTO modifications protect from 3’=>5’ exonuclease degradation and ensure efficient priming of DNA synthesis.
Applications
Strand displacement amplification of genomic DNA (2), plasmids and phage DNA (3).
DNA labeling by random priming (4-6).
Description
Exonuclease-Resistant Random Primer is a mixture of single-stranded random oligonucleotides used for highly efficient random priming of various DNA synthesis reactions. This primer has two 3'-terminal phosphorothioate (PTO) modifications that are resistant to the 3'=>5' exonuclease activity of proofreading DNA polymerases (1), such as Klenow Fragment and phi29 DNA Polymerase. It also has 5'- and 3'-hydroxyl ends. The Exo-Resistant Random Primer is supplied as a ready-to-use, 20X concentrated aqueous solution.
Quality Control
Functionally tested for the efficient priming of DNA synthesis using phi29 DNA Polymerase.
