PCR Performance Comparisons Between pfuturbo and Taq DNA,,,Polymerases

-6 and six-fold lower than that of Taq DNA polymerase.3 PfuTurbo DNA polymerase exhibits the same high-fidelity benefits as Pfu DNA polymerase.1

Conclusions

In side-by-side comparisons, we determined that PfuTurbo DNA polymerase amplified longer complex targets (>3 kb) in higher yield than Taq DNA polymerase. High-fidelity amplification of genomic targets up to 10 kb, and cloned targets up to 15 kb, were previously achieved with PfuTurbo DNA polymerase.1 Although PfuTurbo and Taq DNA polymerases can amplify relatively easy targets (0 to 2 kb) with comparable yields, higher replication fidelity makes PfuTurbo DNA polymerase the better choice for amplifying DNA targets to be cloned, expressed, and/or sequenced. Thus, adding a novel PCR-enhancing factor makes PfuTurbo DNA polymerase superior to Taq DNA polymerase for both routine and high-performance PCR applications.

Methods

PCR amplifications were conducted with PfuTurbo DNA polymerase or Taq DNA polymerase in their recommended buffers, using 200 M each dNTP, 100 to 300 ng of genomic DNA or 15 ng of lambda phage DNA, and 100 ng of each oligonucleotide primer per 50 l reaction. PCR reactions were conducted in Stratagenes RoboCycler Gradient 96 temperature cycler fitted with a Hot Top assembly, using 200 l thin-walled PCR tubes. The temperature cycling parameters for all targets incorporated the following: one cycle at 95C for one minute, followed by 30 cycles at 95C for one minute (denaturation); 58 to 64C for one minute (annealing); 72C for one minute per kb of target amplified (extension); and one final extension cycle of 72C for 10 minutes. The amplified reaction products were electrophoresed on a 1% agarose/1X TBE gel, stained with ethidium bromide, and imaged using the Eagle Eye II Still Video System. Lanes labe
