[DIYbio] Re: polymerase expr/purification WAS:Anyone need some synthesis?

It was just my idea to do pfu because look at how cheap they can make taq... it would be essentially the same protocol

and NEB's stuff is like a dollar a PCR

If anyone wants to get some genes for cheap, contact me. It is 20 cents a base pair ( .5 to 3kbp) and as a little incentive I will also include a (native) pfu polymerase gene for expression in E coli :)

How hard is it to express and purify polymerase in E coli? I was
browsing Engelke's paper on it. It looks complicated and not easily
done unless you got some specific equipment. Otherwise, it's very
doable. Anyone here tried this?
