S. aureus Topoisomerase IV

S. aureus Topoisomerase IV

Topo IV (from Staphylococcus aureus) is prepared by overexpressing the subunits in E. coli and purifying them by methods developed in-house.

The subunits are purified to >95% purity as judged by SDS-PAGE. The topo IV is supplied as a heterotetramer complex at a concentration of 10 U/µl in Dilution buffer.

It is recommended that the enzyme is aliquoted to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Store at -80ºC.

All enzyme is supplied with 5X concentrated Assay Buffer and Dilution buffers which are also available separately.
