    You have the annealing temperature limits backwards: too high means no binding and too low means unspecific binding. Also you have the reverse and forward primer backwards as well on your graphic.

    *Why DNA synthesis occurs in the 5'-3' direction?*
    Since DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis, it can synthesize in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the preexisting nucleotide chain. Hence, DNA polymerase moves along the template strand in a 3'-5' direction, and the daughter strand is formed in a 5'-3' direction.

    actually, the higher the temperature of the primer annealing the higher the specificity. This is why when doing a gradient PCR, we typically take the products from the highest annealing temperature, it is also a good way to test newly synthesized primers and save time :) The denaturation time and temperature often depends on the buffer composition and used polymerase (e.g. Kapa2G has 94 and Q5 of NEB has 98 recommended) though usually, it works anyways.
    I'm mentioning just in case, cool video!

    Hi sorry I'm really confused @ 12.25 you mentioned that if the annealing temperature is too low, the primer will not bind and if the temperature is too high the primer will bind non-specifically. But I was taught the opposite and no matter how much I research into it, I find that I'm correct. if the temperature is too high, there will be no hydrogen bond formation and the primer will remain dissociate, and if the temperature is too low the primer will bond non-specifically.

      you are correct, high temperature denatures the hydrogen bonds thus breaking the bond.

    According the Kary Mullis (inventor of the PCR technique), viral and bacterial infections aren't valid applications for PRC. Why then is this application listed here?

      @a.larson2125 3 роки тому +2

      #Biomedicalandbiololicalscience , #Olivercarvajalgômez has an extremely legitimate question. Would you be so kind as to oblige with an answer?
      Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test had specifically stated it is an *AMPLIFICATION* test only. No different than turning the volume up on a stereo so loud the *amplifier* would blow out a speaker as would the thermal heat.

    • @baghiballsakh82

      I found these two patents from Kary Mullis and his team for PCR. Might help 🤷
      System for automated performance of the polymerase chain reaction (US Patent US5656493A)
      This method is especially useful for performing clinical tests on the DNA or RNA from a fetus or other donor where large amounts of the DNA or RNA are not readily available and more DNA or RNA must be manufactured to have a sufficient amount to perform tests. The presence of diseases which have unique DNA or RNA signatures can be detected by amplifying a nucleic acid sample from a patient and using various probe procedures to assay for the presence of the nucleic acid sequence being detected in the test.
      (Patent number: 4,965,188)
      Various infectious diseases can be diagnosed by the presence in clinical samples of specific DNA sequences characteristic of the causative microorganism. These include bacteria, such as Salmonella, Chlamydia, Neis seria., viruses, such as the hepatitis viruses, and parasites, such as the Plasmodium responsible for malaria.

    Thank you for your wonderful explanation. I still have one question: When the elongation step starts, the dNTPs begin to bond the specific DNA sequences after the primer. But how to stop them at the terminal of the specific sequences. There is no such things like primer to stop them at the termination.

    • @caroed2768
      @caroed2768 4 роки тому +6

      the first two newly synthesised chains won't have the right length, they'll be longer, but after that you'll start having single strands of the right length. The first time you'll have double stranded dna of the right length (on both strands) will be cycle 3, and from there the number grows exponentially. This is clearly shown in this video ua-cam.com/video/iQsu3Kz9NYo/v-deo.html (minute 2.00)

    The annotation of the primers is wrong!
    The reverse primer binds to the template. Its also just the orientation in which the polymerase then binds and then extends the primer in relation to the direction of the sequence.

Question : i understand why the polymerase starts copying the strand (because it's the place where the primer is, with its OH), but i don't explain why it's ending the copy at the end of the chosen sequence. Noboody has told him. Why it's not going further ? There is nothing to stop it ? Thanks for answering. ;-)
