Thermo Scientific™ RevertAid Premium Reverse Transcriptase

An advanced RT enzyme lacking RNase H activity developed through in vitro evolution of M-MuLV RT.

Brand:  Thermo Scientific™ EP0733

Product Code. 11511525

Description

RevertAid Premium Reverse Transcriptase was developed through in vitro evolution of M-MuLV RT. The enzyme possesses an RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activity, but lacks Rnase H activity. The engineered enzyme features dramatically improved thermostability, robustness, and an increased synthesis rate compared to wild type M-MuLV RT.

The eliminated Rnase H activity enables the enzyme to produce very long RNA transcripts up to 20 kb. Due to its high thermostability, the enzyme maintains full activity during the entire reverse transcription reaction and generates high yields of cDNA. The reaction temperature can be increased up to 60°C for efficient transcription of RNA regions with a high secondary structure, or to improve specificity using gene-specific primers.

Features include thermostability up to 60°C and an increased cDNA synthesis rate compared to M-MuLV RT. RNase H activity has been eliminated by a point mutation in the RNase H domain of M-MuLV RT, ensuring high yields of full length cDNA up to 20kb.
