- Organism
- Thermus aquaticus
- Length
- 832 aa

- 93,910 Da
- Evidence
- 1: Evidence at protein level
In addition to polymerase activity, this DNA polymerase exhibits 5'-3' exonuclease activity (By similarity). Unlikely to have 3'-5' exonuclease activity due to absence of a 3'-5' exonuclease domain (Probable)
