What are the optional requirements for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)?
And what are the factors that usually prove culprits in inhibition of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)?
The optional requirements for Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) include a number of additives and cosolvents to minimize mispriming and increase the polymerising efficiency (for GC rich templates). The cosolvents include formaamide, glycerol and additives include potassium glutamate, Ammonium sulphate.
Almost anything in excess can hamper the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Besides, usual suspects in PCR inbhibition are Proteinase K, Phenol, EDTA, Ionic detergents, Polyanions etc.
