Optimer® delivers hot-start performance for KOD DNA Polymerase
Optimer inhibitors deliver the hot start control your high-fidelity enzymes need.

Download the application note to learn how:
- Optimer inhibits both polymerase and exonuclease activity at ambient temperature and release on thermocycling, providing temperature-sensitive hot start control of KOD DNA Polymerase
- a unique dual-domain binding mode simultaneously engages both enzymatic domains of KOD DNA polymerase, providing a mechanism for comprehensive inhibition with a single reagent
- a portfolio of licensable Optimer inhibitors for KOD DNA polymerase has been developed
- chemical stabilisation preserves full inhibitory function of polymerase and exonuclease activity and supports robust commercial formulation and manufacture
Interested in Optimer inhibitors for other enzymes?
The same platform that delivered hot start control for KOD DNA Polymerase can be applied to virtually any enzyme target. Optimer binders can be rapidly developed to inhibit a broad range of enzymes with high selectivity and tunable activity profiles. Contact Aptamer Group to discuss licensing or a custom Optimer development programme for your target enzyme.
