PCR(polymerase chain
reaction)
PCR is in techniques used to make many copies of
small section of DNA or gene.
It is very rapid method for amplification of
desired segment of DNA or RNA.
Using pcr it is possible to generate thousands to
millions of copies of particular segment.
Generally PCR works in three main steps -
1. Denaturation
2. Annealing
3. Extinction
Temperature required in these step's are
different and important to performe PCR.
PCR instrument
Taq polymerase enzyme add the
ntdes.
Material used in polymerase chain
reaction are-
Taq polymrase
• Source-Thermus aquaticus
• Activity-5'-3' polymerase activity(lacks 3'-5'
exonuclease activitiy).
• Stability-half life <5min at 100°C but retain activity
up to 40min at 95°C .
• Function- The enzyme responsible for performing
the amplification
• Disadvantage of Taq polymerase-
• Error rate-2×10-4 errors/base
• It also lacks the proofreading activity
• Taq polymerase is unstable above 90°C.
• The DNA template is starting material.
• It contains the region which is amplified.
• Genomic DNA-5-50ng is sufficient.
• Plasmid DNA template - 0.1 to1ng is sufficient
amount.
DNA Template
Buffer
• Buffer provide a suitable environment for DNA pol
enzyme.
• The pH of buffer i.e 8.0 to 9.5 stabilized by tris -HCl.
MgCl2
• Function as a cofactor for activity of DNA polymerase
enzyme.
• Mg2+ facilitates formation of the complex between the
primer and DNA template by stabilizing negative charge
on their phosphate backbone.
Primers
• Primers are short pieces usually 20-25bp in length.
• Tm- 55 to70°C.
• 40to 60℅ GC(uniform distribution).
• One C and G at 3'end.
• It is made as a pair -reverse and forward primer.
• Which are bind to the complementary .sequence.
dNTP'S
• dNTPs consists -dATP,dCTP,dGTP,dTTP (four basic
nucleotides).
• These all are added to pcr reaction in equimolar
amount for optimal base incorporation.
• 0.2mM is genreally used as final concentration.
• dNTps exceeding optimal concentration promote
misincorporation by non-proofreading DNA
polymerase enzyme.
Sterile distilled water
• Pcr grade water is pure water.
• It is free from DNase and RNase enzymes.
• Distilled water is used to normalise the total
sample volume.
Important formulas -
used in pcr for calculation of copy number, and
melting temperature.
• Copy number = L×number of moles=L×(total mass/molar mass).
• Melting temperature (Tm) =2 (A+T) + 4 (G+C)
Applications of PCR
• Molecular identification-
• Genetic matching
• Mutation screening
• Pathogen detection
• Molecular Arachaelogy
• Sequencing-
• Bioinformatics
• Genomic cloning
• Human genome project
• Genetic engineering.
• Gene expressions study
• Forensic science.
• Paternity testing
• DNA sample analysis for
crime scene
investigation.
Traditional pcr disadvantage/limitations-
End point gel detection.
Poor sensitivity
Short dynamic range <2fold
Low resolution
Size based description only.
Results are not expressed as number
Ethidium bromide for staining is not very qualitative.
Hard to differentiate between the 10 copies
or 50 copies of DNA sample in gel
Graph-it show the phase of pcr .
Exponential- doubling of product.
Linear- the raction is slow.
Plateau-The reaction had stopped,no more products are
being made.
Need of different types of pcr-
Real time pcr
Rt-pcr .
Inverse pcr
Multiplex pcr
Pcr in forensic science-AmpFLP.
Nested pcr.
Primed pcr
Hot-start pcr.
In situ pcr.
Pcr Elisa.
ALU pcr
