optimal yung temp and pH.
Amplification program consists of a specified
number of cycles that are divided into steps during
which the samples are held at particular
temperatures for designated times.
The temperature will then determine the reaction
that occurs, and changing the temperature changes
the reaction.
1. Denaturation
dsDNA is denatured into two single strands
ineexpose natin yung DNA sa mataas na temp.
Temperature: 90-96 C
Time: 20-60 secs
Optimal temp: 94-96C (the best and most
favorable result)

DNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of
phosphodiester bond to replicate DNA by extending
the primers (in vitro DNA synthesis)
Si DNA polymerase na yung mag didikit sa isang bagong
gawa na strand sa ating lumang DNA template.
For every cycle of a one dsDNA, it will be replicated
into two dsDNA.
Temperature: 68-75 C
Time: 10-60 SECS
Optima temp: 68-72C
From 1 DNA template after 1 cycle meron na tayong 2
kapag nag run ulit ng another cycle yung 2 magiging 4
tapos from 8 copies to 16 to 32 hanggang 35 th cycle
makakabuo tayo ng 68billion copies, exponential yung

PCR MODIFICATION
PCR today has been adapted for various applications;
several modifications are used in the clinical
laboratory.
The methods that have been developed to amplify
nucleic acids can be divided into three groups:
Within one to two hours kaya na nating makagawa ng
Target amplification (STANDARD)
millions to billions of copies ng DNA
Probe amplification
In some cases, our annealing temp is close enough to
Signal amplification

temp changes, so imbis na dalawang beses mag papalit ng Target amplification

yung temp ng annealing and extension and that is called There are four modification of Target amplification:
2 step PCR Capable of detecting multiple targets in a single run
Adenine bind to Thymine (multiplex PCR)
Cytosine bind to Guanine Using RNA templates (reverse transcriptase PCR)
Amplified products as templates (nested PCR)
Quantitating starting template (quantitative PCR,
or real-time PCR)
MULTIPLEX PCR METHOD
More than one primer pair can be added to a PCR
for multiple amplifications are primed
simultaneously resulting in the formation of multiple
products.
Uses: typing or identification analyses
Example: organisms that cause sexually transmitted
diseases can be targeted in multiplex PCR using one
genital swab.
Ex. Gustong idetetct ang HIV or Hepa B it is possible
kasi gumagamit sya ng more than 1 primers
Pwede nyang idetect ng sabay sabay unlike in a standard
