DNA-dependent RNA polymerase derived from SP6 bacteriophage that catalyzes the transcription of viral genes.

The plasmids in the Open Enzyme collection contain genetic parts and are not functional by themselves. Researchers can clone these enzymes into an expression vector of their choice and then transform into E. coli bacteria for expression and purification.
