KOD DNA Polymerase* (formerly KOD HiFi DNA Polymerase) is a recombinant form of Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 DNA polymerase (Nishioka 2001). KOD is a high fidelity thermostable polymerase that amplifies target DNA up to 6 kbp with superior accuracy and yield (Takagi 1997). The enzyme’s 3′→5′ exonuclease-dependent proofreading activity results in a lower PCR mutation frequency than any other commercially available DNA polymerase. The elongation rate and processivity are 5 times and 10 to 15 times higher, respectively, than for Pfu DNA polymerase, resulting in highly accurate and robust yield, in a short reaction time. The enzyme generates blunt-ended PCR products suitable for cloning with the Novagen Perfectly Blunt® and LIC Vector Kits.

Source Recombinant Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 DNA polymerase expressed in E. coli
Concentration 2.5 U/µl
Purity > 90% homogeneous by SDS-PAGE
5′ Exonuclease Less than 2% per unit of enzyme when incubated 1 h at 74°C in a reaction with 5′-labeled λ/Sca I digest
Nicking activity None detected
Amplification effiency Functional PCR
Storage –20°C

Product information
Unit definition One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will catalyze the incorporation of 10 nmol of dNTP into acid-insoluble form in 30 min at 75°C, in a reaction containing 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5 at 25°C), 8 mM MgCl2, 7.5 mM DTT, 50 µg/ml BSA, 150 µM each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP (a mix of unlabeled and [3H]dTTP) and 150 µg/ml activated calf thymus DNA.
Components
250 UKOD DNA Polymerase (2.5 U/µl)
1 ml10X Buffer #1 for KOD DNA Polymerase (pH 8.0)
1 ml10X Buffer #2 for KOD DNA Polymerase (pH 8.8)
1 ml25 mM MgCl2
1 mldNTP Mix (2 mM each)
Features and benefits
  • Higher fidelity than Pfu DNA polymerase—excellent for cloning
  • Greater yield—extension speed is 2X faster than Taq DNA polymerase and 5X faster than Pfu DNA polymerase
  • Higher processivity—sequential nucleotide polymerization is 10- to 15-fold greater than Pfu and Tli DNA polymerases
  • Amplifies plasmid and lambda DNA templates up to 6 kbp
  • Amplifies genomic DNA templates up to 2 kbp
  • No truncated amplification products
Declaration Manufactured by Toyobo and distributed by Novagen. Not available from Novagen in Japan. Purchase of this product is accompanied by a limited license to use it in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process for research use in conjunction with a thermal cycler whose use in the automated performance of the PCR process is covered by the up-front license fee, either by payment to Applied Biosystems or as purchased, i.e., an authorized thermal cycler.
