Product Description
Product Name Sulfolobus solfataricus Single-Stranded DNA-Binding Protein (SsoSSB)
Overview The single-stranded DNA-binding protein from Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsoSSB) is a thermostable protein that binds with high affinity and specificity to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA). SsoSSB plays a critical role in DNA replication, recombination, and repair in hyperthermophilic archaea. It protects ssDNA from nucleolytic degradation, prevents secondary structure formation, and facilitates the action of DNA polymerases and helicases at elevated temperatures. SsoSSB is widely used in molecular biology applications requiring robust ssDNA stabilization under extreme conditions.
