9°N™ Reverse Gyrase

Product Information

9°N™ Reverse Gyrase is a thermostable Type IA topoisomerase that introduces positive supercoils into double-stranded closed-circular DNA in the presence of ATP (1).

Product Source

An E. coli strain that carries a cloned gene from a thermophilic marine archaea Thermococcus sp. (strain 9°N) (2) with a C-terminal His-tag.

Product Notes

  1. The reaction requires ATP and Mg2+ (3, 4). The supplied Gyrase Reaction Buffer incorporates these essential components within an optimized formulation, thereby facilitating enhanced gyrase activity.
  2. In the absence of ATP, the enzyme will nick circular DNA (5).
