How is Taq DNA polymerase different from DNA polymerase in E coli?
How is Taq DNA polymerase different from DNA polymerase in E coli? Taq polymerase is found in thermophilic bacteria and purified in in vitro DNA replication. The key difference between Taq polymerase and DNA polymerase is that Taq polymerase can withstand high temperatures without denaturing while other DNA polymerases denature at high temperatures (at protein degrading temperatures). What is the advantage of using Taq polymerase instead of an E coli polymerase? Compared to E. coli DNA polymerase I, Taq polymerase's high specificity of primer binding at elevated temperatures was found to give a higher yield of the desired product with...
