why is the forward primer in PCR when adding a sticky end not complementary to the DNA but the reverse primer is?

Solutions

Expert Solution

•The forward primer attaches to the start codon of the template DNA (the anti-sense strand), while the reverse primer attaches to the stop codon of the complementary strand of DNA (the sense strand). The 5' ends of both primers bind to the 3' end of each DNA strand.

•Eg :- Forward primer for sequencing promoter: 5’ccaaaatgtcgtaacaactc-3’ – on antisense strand ,

• that means the sense strand having the palindromic sequence of above.

•On which the reverse primer will attach. That means the forward primer here is having a complementary sequence of reverse primer , that why it is attached to reverse primer. And sticky end not having it.

You have a sample of ssDNA molecule that you will use as a primer for PCR. You dissolved the dried ssDNA peller in TE to a total volume of 400 ul to make a "stock DNA sample." You need to determine the concentration (ug/ul) of this primer DNA in solution. To do this you took 4 ul from the "stock DNA sample" and added these to 996 ul of TE buffer in a cuvette, making a total of 1000 ul...

DNA may be synthesized by primer elongation methods such as PCR, and if radioactive atoms are incorporated into the newly made DNA

DNA may be synthesized by primer elongation methods such as PCR, and if radioactive atoms are incorporated into the newly made DNA, it may be used as a hybridization probe in methods like Southern blotting. To incorporate radiolabeled nucleotides into newly synthesized DNA, researchers may use 32P-labeled dATP, in which one of the P atom is radioactive32P. Which of the 3 phosphate groups (alpha, beta, or gamma) should be labeled, and why?
