چکیده

Background: Taq DNA polymerase is a very important enzyme for molecular biological studies such as DNA amplification and DNA sequencing by the PCR. It is a standard enzyme that is used in ۹۰% of molecular biology labs today. The aim of this study was to produce Taq DNA polymerase enzyme in E. coli by a reliable, practical, simple and low cost method. Materials and Methods: In this study, the Taq gene was amplified from the genomic DNA of Thermus aquaticus and cloned into pTrc۹۹A vector. Recombinant plasmid is expressed in E. coli strain TOP۱۰. Product protein is extracted and purified. Expression of gene was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and gene amplification. Results: SDS-PAGE showed an approximately ۹۴ KDa protein. The density of protein bands in agarose gel electrophoresis indicated that the purified enzyme is more active than the non purified one. Conclusion: The protocols described in this paper lead to the production of pure and active enzyme that can be applied in both teaching and research laboratories.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
