How to Design Primers for PCR
Are you looking to design a primer for your PCR? Jennifer Tsang, Science Communication and Marketing Coordinator at Addgene, is here with some tips for creating successful primers. For the full text protocol, visit https://www.addgene.org/protocols/primer-design/
Oligonucleotide primers are necessary when running a PCR reaction. One needs to design primers that are complementary to the template region of DNA. They are synthesized chemically by joining nucleotides together. One must selectively block and unblock repeatedly the reactive groups on a nucleotide when adding a nucleotide one at a time. The main property of primers is that they must correspond to sequences on the template molecule (must be complementary to template strand). However, primers do not need to correspond to the template strand completely; it is essential, however, that the 3’ end of the primer corresponds completely to the template DNA strand so elongation can proceed. Usually a guanine or cytosine is used at the 3’ end, and the 5’ end of the primer usually has stretches of several nucleotides. Also, both of the 3’ ends of the hybridized primers must point toward one another.
