Effective end modification and labeling.
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT) is a DNA polymerase that catalyzes the addition of deoxynucleotides to the 3' hydroxyl terminus of ssDNA or dsDNA. 3' tailing can be induced with the addition of 1mM Co2+. This protein is sold as an N-terminal truncation of the terminal transferase gene attached to an N-terminal fusion tag.
