Taq DNA polymerase

A thermophilic bacterial enzyme that catalyses the synthesis of double- stranded DNA, utilised in PCR.


A 94 kilodalton DNA polymerase, which was originally isolated from the thermophilic bacteria Thermus aquaticus. Commonly utilized to catalyze PGR reactions due to its heat resistance (needed for thermal cycles utilized in the PGR technique).
