What are some components in the Phusion High-Fidelity PCR Master Mix and what is their purpose?
Standard Phusion 2X Master Mix contains the following essential components:
Phusion High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase: A specialized, proofreading enzyme coupled to a processivity-enhancing domain. Its purpose is to catalyze DNA synthesis with high speed and extremely low error rates. dNTPs (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, dTTP): The nucleotide building blocks required by the polymerase to synthesize the new complementary DNA strands. Phusion HF Buffer: An optimized reaction buffer containing MgCl2. Magnesium (Mg2+) acts as an important cofactor for the DNA polymerase enzyme, stabilizing the reaction and facilitating the smooth incorporation of dNTPs. 2.
