As seen from the polyacrylamide gel shown above, the TdT enzyme expressed in the Rosetta cells using our genetically engineered plasmid works as intended; base pairs are appended to oligos by the enzyme.

The majority of the oligos have only a few base pairs added by our expressed TdT while the lane of the commercial TdT is a smear of oligos, suggesting the commercial TdT has a greater reaction rate.

The TdT concentration of the reaction with our expressed TdT is less than that of the commercial TdT. <br><br> | As seen from the polyacrylamide gel shown above, the TdT enzyme expressed in the Rosetta cells using our genetically engineered plasmid works as intended; base pairs are appended to oligos by the enzyme.

Applications of BBa_K1354002
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) is one of the most promising DNA polymerases for de novo DNA synthesis because it can add nucleotides randomly to the initiation strand without a template. This year, our team LIUAN-Nanjing also tested various sources of Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT), including Bovine Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (Part: BBa_K1354002), for recombinant expression activity in an E. coli expression system. We found that although Bovine Terminal Deoxynucleotidyl Transferase exhibits some catalytic activity, it is significantly lower compared to ZaTdT from Zonotrichia albicollis.
