Methods and compositions for amplification of nucleic acids |
摘要 |
The present invention provides methods, compositions, and kits for storing and enhancing the activity of polymerases and particularly thermostable polymerases. The methods comprise mixing a thermostable polymerase with at least one zwitterionic or ylide surfactant that has at least one PEO group. In another aspect the polymerase is mixed with a blocker such as PLURONIC® or TETRONIC® or an amine N-oxide derivative thereof. The thermostable polymerase may be reversibly inactivated by treatment with 2-(Methylsulfonyl)ethyl 4-nitrophenyl carbonate. Compositions and kits for performing the process according to the invention are also provided. |

1. A composition comprising a thermostable polymerase that has been reversibly modified with a polymerase-modifying reagent of the following structure: wherein Y=N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), p-nitrophenol (pNP) or imidazole;
X=CONMe2, MeSO2, CN, NO2, CO2Me, (CH2)2SMe, N(CH3)CHO, or CH2C(O)CH3;and a zwitterionic amine oxide. |
