Product Description
| Product Name | Thermus thermophilus RecA (Tth RecA), Recombinant |
| Overview | RecA from Thermus thermophilus HB8 (Tth RecA) is a thermostable recombinase that plays a central role in homologous recombination, DNA repair, and the maintenance of genome integrity in this thermophilic bacterium. Tth RecA catalyzes ATP-dependent strand exchange between homologous DNA molecules, promotes DNA pairing, and facilitates the repair of double-stranded breaks. Its exceptional thermal stability and robust activity at elevated temperatures make it an ideal tool for in vitro recombination and strand exchange reactions under thermophilic conditions. |
