RevertAid™ H Minus Reverse Transcriptase

RevertAid™ H Minus Reverse Transcriptase (RT) is a genetically modified M-MuLV RT. It differs from the M-MuLV RT by its structure and catalytic properties. The enzyme possesses an RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activity, but lacks RNase H activity due to point mutation in the RNase H domain. RevertAid™ H Minus Reverse Transcriptase does not degrade RNA in RNA-DNA hybrids during synthesis of the first strand cDNA and therefore high yields of full-length cDNA from long templates are obtained. RevertAid™ H Minus Reverse Transcriptase maintains activity over a wide temperature range (42 to 55 °C), which makes the enzyme an ideal tool for reverse transcription of RNAs having a high degree of secondary structure.

• High yields of full length first strand cDNA up to 13 kb
• Optimum activity at 42 to 45 °C
• Active up to 55 °C
• Incorporates modified nucleotides (e.g., Cy3-, Cy5-, rhodamine-, aminoallyl-, fluorescein-labelled nucleotides)

Delivery information: Supplied with 5X reaction buffer.
