I am trying to amplify 2kb gene but whenever I am using platinum taq it works but not with the Taq DNA polymerase. I tried multiple times but it wont work,
The main difference between the two polymerases is that Platinum polymerase is a modified version of Taq polymerase that has a built-in hot-start mechanism. This means that the enzyme is inactive at room temperature and only becomes active after a high-temperature denaturation step, which prevents non-specific amplification and improves PCR specificity, sensitivity, and yield. Taq polymerase, on the other hand, does not have a hot-start feature and can start extending primers even at low temperatures, which can result in unwanted products and reduced PCR performance. Another difference is that Platinum polymerase is a "fast" enzyme that can synthesize DNA four times faster than Taq polymerase. This allows for shorter extension times and faster PCR cycles.
My advice is to consider some changes in your protocol, starting with annealing temperatures and increasing the elongation time.
in my experience, the standard Taq work well for small fragments up to 1-1.5kb, for longer fragments a hot start taq and if possible even an high fidelity is preferable
there are a lot of good taq suitable for this purpose
