  • Kapa HiFi Polymerase strand displacement

    Hi all,

    does anyone know about literature evidence or product sheets that provide information on the strand displacement activity of the Kapa HiFi polymerase?

    I am working on optimising my assay and I am looking for a processive polymerase with very little strand displacement ability. I tried to look it up in datasheets, protocols, etc. but have not been able to find concrete information on that. It would be great if someone knows more about that...

    Cheers

    Generally speaking, high processivity is related to high strand displacement activity, so you won't find a polymerase that fits your requirements. From what I recall, the KAPA enzyme is an evolved Pfx/KOD enzyme and has very strong strand displacement activity and processivity.

    There was a review in TiBt that summarized the biochemical properties of various polymerases:



    But I personally think that the NEB site is pretty good:
    NEB's DNA Polymerase Selection Chart will assist in choosing a polymerase for your application.

      Kapa does not have strand displacement activity

      This is a little late for the above discussion, but just in case others search and find this thread... according to Kapa Tech Support, it does NOT have any strand displacement activity.

        KAPA HiFi HotStart polymerase does not have strand displacement activity

        I can confirm the message above, KAPA tech support was very clear about this.

          You need a little bit more effort to identify the things properly

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
