Applications:
Incorporation into DNA/cDNA by

• PCR with Taq polymerase^{[1], in-house data}
• Nick Translation with DNAse I/ DNA Polymerase I^[2]
• Primer Extension with Klenow exo^{- [3]}
• 3'-End Labeling with Terminal deoxynucleotidyl Transferase (TdT)^[4]
• Reverse Transcription with MMLV Reverse Transcriptase^[2]

Description:
Aminoallyl-dUTP is recommended for two-step labeling of DNA/cDNA e.g. by PCR, Nick Translation, Primer Extension, 3'-End Labeling and Reverse Transcription. It is enzymatically incorporated into DNA/cDNA as substitute for its natural counterpart dTTP. The resulting Amine-functionalized DNA/cDNA can subsequently be labeled via the classic Amine/NHS Ester reaction that offers the choice

• to introduce a Biotin group (via NHS Ester of Biotin) for subsequent purification tasks
• to introduce fluorescent group (via NHS Ester of fluorescent dyes) for subsequent microscopic imaging
