DESCRIPTION
Klenow Fragment is a proteolytic product of intact DNA polymerase I which retains 5'¡æ3' DNA polymerase and 3'¡æ5' exonuclease activity but lacks 5'¡æ3' exonuclease activity.

SOURCE
Recombinant E. coli strain.

APPLICATIONS
¡Ü DNA sequencing by the Sanger dideoxy method.
¡Ü Filling-in and/or labeling of recessed 3'-ends.
¡Ü Second strand cDNA synthesis.
¡Ü End-labeling of DNA molecules with protruding 3' tails.
¡Ü Synthesis of dsDNA from ssDNA templates during in vitro mutagenesis.
