Components of PCR -
Component | Role |
Primer pair | binds to 3' end of template DNA to provide free OH group to DNA polymerase |
Template DNA | DNA molecule containing gene of interest |
Taq polymerase | heat stable DNA polymerase which adds dNTPs to the growing DNA molecule |
MgCl2 | provides magnesium ions which chelates and inactivates DNases |
dNTPs | monomers of DNA |
Buffer | to maintain a constant pH |
Water | to make up the final volume |
