ENZ-310
Description
MMLV (Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus) Reverse Transcriptase is a DNA polymerase that synthesizes a complementary DNA strands from single-stranded RNA, DNA, or an RNA-DNA hybrid as a template. This recombinant enzyme was purified from E.coli, which carried a modified MMLV-RT gene. Compared to AMV Reverse Transcriptase, this enzyme has a much weaker 5' - 3' ribonuclease H activity, which allows the syntesis of longer cDNAs (>7kb).

Unit Definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme required to catalyze the incorporation of 1nmol of deoxyribonucleotide into acid-insoluble forms in 10 minutes at 37oC, using poly(A)-oligo(dT)12-18 as the template-primer.
