Additionally, Creon may be feeling quite defensive since he is in the wrong: the brothers fight and kill each other because Creon supports Eteocles' refusal to honor a legal, joint royal power-sharing arrangement with twin brother Polyneices.
Thermostable DNA polymerases that have a proofreading function, such as Pfu and Tli (a) Â® -T Vectors if they are first tailed with dATP using Taq DNA Polymerase (1). This A-tailing protocol can also be used to subclone DNA fragments generated by restriction enzymes which produce blunt ends (1).igure 2. Analysis of recombinants obtained after cloning of an A-tailed PCR fragment into the pGEM Â® -T Easy Vector. A 1,200bp fragment was generated by amplification with Pfu DNA polymerase. This fragment was tailed using the alternative procedure described in Figure 1B.
T. aquaticus is a bacterium that lives in hot springs and hydrothermal vents, and Taq polymerase was identified as an enzyme able to withstand the protein-denaturing conditions (high temperature) required during PCR. Therefore, it replaced the DNA polymerase from E. coli originally used in PCR. Taq's optimum temperature for activity is 75â80 Â°C, with a half-life of greater than 2 hours at 92.5 Â°C, 40 minutes at 95 Â°C and 9 minutes at 97.5 Â°C, and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72 Â°C.
