Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
Q. What is PCR?
Ans. A technique of Molecular Biology that amplifies a specific segment
of DNA to form its thousands to millions of copies in efficient way.
Q. What are the benefits of PCR?
Ans. Following are the applications of PCR in daily life;
1. Increasing the efficiency of DNA/gene of interest copying
2. A source of gene library formation
3. Efficiency in Forensic identification of criminals
4. Resolving the disputed paternity cases
5. Clinical diagnostics of pathogens
PCR---History
Development:
 1983 Kary B. Mullis developed PCR
 1989 Molecule of the year was
denoted to Taq Polymerase
 1993 Mullis shared the Noble Prize
in chemistry for PCR technology
About Mullis:
 A U.S. Scientist
 Born on Dec 28, 1944 North Carolina
 Died Aug 07, 2019 California
Fish don't know much about
water, and people didn't
know much about air
K. B. Mullis
PCR---An Overview
PCR---Requirements OR Ingredients
Following are the requirements to carry out the PCR;
1. DNA/Piece of DNA (To be Copied)
2. Primers (for Identification of starting point at DNA strands)
3. Taq polymerase (works normal till 95属C)
4. dNTPs (dATP, dTTP, dCTP, dGTP)
5. Buffers (Stabilizing reaction mixture
during PCR)
6. MgCl2 (Cofactor for Taq Polymerase)
7. Thermocycler (Machine to carry out the
PCR)
PCR---PROCESS
1. Mixing all the ingredients in a DNA tube (in recommended amounts)
2. Programming the DNA reaction mixture into the thermocycler
Function of Thermocycler:
A Machine that is Programmed to heat and cool the mixture within short
period of time (seconds-minutes) over a number of cycles
Steps of---PCR:
Following are the main steps in PCR;
1. Denaturation
2. Annealing
3. Extension
PCR---PROCESS
Denaturation:
1. Thermocycler shall heat the Mixture (Up to 96属C)
2. This leads to breaking of nucleotides bonds
3. Separation of double strands of DNA
Annealing:
1. Thermocycler cools the Mixture (Up to 54属C )
2. This enables the Primers to Identify & attach
the DNA sites for formation of new strands
PCR---PROCESS
Extension:
1. Attachment of Taq Polymerase at 3卒 ends of primer
2. Thermocycler will increase the temperature (Up to 96属C)
3. Taq Polymerase shall extend/polymerize the new strands of DNA by picking the
respective dNTPs from the reaction mixture
PCR---PROCESS
Final hold---Conclusion
1. Finally the newly formed DNA hold at 4属C
2. By this process one can prepare a number of abundant copies of required DNA
within minutes of cycles
