Overview
Taq DNA Polymerase is a pure, versatile and thermostable recombinant enzyme produced in an E. coli strain, which carries the cloned pol gene from Thermus aquaticus. The enzyme has 5’→3’ polymerase activity and a weak 5’→3’ exonuclease activity but no 3’→5’ exonuclease activity (proofreading).

Overview
HotRun DNA Polymerase is a specific, highly efficient and sensitive HotStart DNA Polymerase designed to minimize unspecific amplification, improving PCR specificity. It is a Horse-Power™ Taq DNA Polymerase bound to a proprietary antibody that blocks polymerase activity until a denaturation step occurs. The heat-labile antibodies are rapidly inactivated by raising the temperature (4 minutes at 95-97 °C). This prevents or minimizes primer-dimer and non-specific products.
Like Horse-Power™ Taq DNA Polymerase, the enzyme has 5’→3’ polymerase activity and a weak 5’→3’ exonuclease activity but no 3’→5’ exonuclease activity (proofreading). Before enzyme activation none of the enzyme activities are detectable.

Overview
LongRun DNA Polymerase is an accurate and robust enzyme that combines Horse-Power™ Taq DNA Polymerase and a DNA proofreading Polymerase with 3’ to 5’ exonuclease activity that is optimized for PCR amplification of very long DNA templates (long range PCR).. As it is already well-known, Taq DNA Polymerase is inefficient at amplifying fragments larger than 3–5 kb due to its inability to repair nucleotide mismatches following misincorporation. The addition of a small quantity of proofreading enzyme allows mismatches to be repaired and extension to continue, resulting in the amplification of long amplicons with high yield. The presence of the proofreading polymerase significantly increases fidelity (6.5x) as compared to Taq DNA Polymerase alone. This mixture of enzymes allows for long and accurate PCR amplification of targets from a variety of templates, such as 5-15 kb of genomic DNA. It generates long templates with an accuracy and speed previously unattainable with other thermostable DNA polymerases. As well, it possesses 3´→ 5´ exonuclease activity and it generates PCR products with blunt ends and generate 3´-adenine overhang in amplified DNA and thus such Taq amplified DNA could be cloned into T-vectors.
