Bst with point mutations for enhanced thermal stability codon optimized for E.coli

This part is an improvement from Bst Polymerase 1 (large fragment) for E.coli from the 2021 iGEM Fudan team: https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K3790000.

Usage and Biology

Bst polymerase is a family I DNA polymerase derived from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus. Bst polymerase Large Fragment is notable for its strong strand displacement activity and thermal stability ^[1]. Bst also contains a 5' to 3' DNA polymerase activity but lacks 3' to 5' exonuclease activity ^[2].
