Purpose

  • Pfu is a thermostable DNA polymerase that can be used for PCR.

Procurement

  • You can buy Pfu for example at [Promega].
  • NEB does for some reason not offer Pfu.

Use

  • Pfu has proof reading activity which makes it more accurate than for example Taq.
  • Pfu does not exhibit 5' -> 3' exonuclease activity, which prevents degradation of the primers in mutagenesis methods based on ligation of primers or elongated primers.
