Product Description
T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (T4 PNK) is a 5'-hydroxyl kinase that facilitates the transfer of the γ-phosphate from ATP to the 5'-hydroxyl termini of oligo- or polynucleotide chains, including double-stranded and single-stranded DNA or RNA, as well as to 3'-monophosphate nucleotides. This transfer is reversible. T4 PNK also possesses 3'-phosphatase activity, which dephosphorylates 3'-phosphorylated oligonucleotide termini, deoxy 3'-monophosphate nucleotides, and deoxy 3'-diphosphate nucleotides. In the presence of ADP, T4 PNK can act as a 5'-phosphatase, promoting the exchange of 5'-phosphate groups on 5'-phosphorylated oligo-or polynucleotides with ATP. This enzyme is widely used for the construction of DNA libraries and for end labeling to generate probes.
