Síntesis/elongación

  • La temperatura se aumenta a aproximadamente 70–72°C (aproximadamente 158–162°F).
  • La ADN polimerasa se activa → agrega nucleótidos libres al AL Amyloidosis extremo 3′ de los LOS Neisseria cebadores
  • Crea una nueva hebra de ADN idéntica al AL Amyloidosis molde original
PCR Stage 3 Synthesis

Paso 3: Síntesis/elongación
La elongación del ADN es catalizada por una ADN polimerasa termoestable, que agrega nucleótidos libres disponibles complementarios a la hebra del ADN molde, lo que da como resultado una molécula de ADN recién sintetizada. El ADN se calienta a 72°C, la temperatura adecuada para que la ADN polimerasa Taq pueda elongar los cebadores.
