Why Polymerase?
It is called polymerase because the only enzyme
used in this reaction is DNA polymerase.
Why Chain?
The Reaction
PCR tube
THERMOCYCLER
Components of PCR
Template DNA
dNTPs (dATP, dTTP, dCTP & dGTP)
primers
Taq DNA polymerase
MgCl2
PCR buffer
DNA template
dNTP(deoxynucleotide
triphosphate)
MgCl2
KCl
Primers
Short pieces of DNA (20-30 bases) that bind to the DNA
template allowing Taq DNA polymerase enzyme to initiate
incorporation of the deoxynucleotides.
Both specific and universal primers can be used.
Buffer
keeps the mixture at the proper pH so the PCR reaction will
take place.
DNA melting
The three parts of the polymerase chain reaction are carried out in
the same vial, but at different temperatures.
The first part of the process separates the two DNA chains in the
double helix.
This is done simply by heating the vial to 95 oC for 30 seconds.
double-stranded DNA
single-stranded DNA
Annealing
After separating the DNA strands, the temperature is lowered so the
primers can attach themselves to the single DNA strands. The
temperature of this stage depends on the primers and is usually 5C
below their melting temperature (45-60C).
Primer annealing
The primers cannot bind to the DNA strands at such a
high temperature, so the vial is cooled to 55 oC. At
this temperature, the primers bind or "anneal" to the
appropriate location in the DNA strands.
This takes about 20 seconds.
annealed DNA
Primers
Primers are short, artificial DNA strands often not more than 50 and
usually only 18 to 25 base pairs long that are complementary to the
beginning or the end of the DNA fragment to be amplified
Examples of bacteria universal primer sequences are:
Forward 5' GAT CCT GGC TCA GGA TGA AC 3' (20 mer)
Reverse 5' GGA CTA CCA GGG TAT CTA ATC 3' (21 mer)
Estimation of the melting and annealing temperatures of primer:
If the primer is shorter than 25 nucleotides, the approx. melting
temperature (Tm)
Tm=4(G+C) + 2 (A+T)
GAGGTAACCACACCAGA 4Gs, 5Cs, 7As, 1T
Tm = {4(4+5)}+{2(7+1)}
= (49)+(28)
= 36+16
= 52
Tm = 52
Extension
Finally, the DNA polymerase has to copy the DNA strands.
It starts at the annealed primer and works its way along the DNA
strand. The extension temperature depends on the DNA
polymerase.
Taq polymerase extends optimally at a temperature of 72C. The
time for this step depends both on the DNA polymerase itself and
on the length of the DNA fragment to be amplified
Primer extension
The Taq polymerase begins adding nucleotides to the primer and
eventually makes a complementary copy of the section of the
template
that lies between the primers. This completes one PCR cycle.
