Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) is a template-independent DNA polymerase that catalyzes the repeated addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3'hydroxyl end of oligonucleotides, single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. TdT reactions require a short sequence containing at least 3 bases as a primer. When using RNA as a template, TdT performance strictly depends on the tertiary structure of the 3'-end of the receptor RNA and the type of nucleotides. Generally, TdT is less efficient on RNA templates than on DNA templates.
Enzyme activity definition: 1 activity unit (U) is defined as the amount of enzyme required to incorporate 1 nmol of deoxyribonucleotide into a polynucleotide fragment within 60 min at 37 °C.
Inhibitors: Metal chelators, ammonium, chloride, iodide and phosphate ions.
Inactivation conditions: Add EDTA and heat at 70°C for 10 min.
Components: Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (20 U/µL) (25 μL/125 μL); 5×Reaction Buffer (400 μL/2×1 mL)Please contact us at for specific academic pricing.
