removal of polyphenols
salt binds to molecules to keep it from clumping
SDS lyses the cells. Tris controls the pH. Glucose prepares bacterial DNA. EDTA protects DNA from degradation. Phenol extracts lipids and proteins from DNA. Chilled absolute ethanol precipitates the DNA.
DNA extraction is done by three methods: * Organic extraction * inorganic extraction * solid state method In organic extraction, phenol and chloroform are used to create on organic phase in which cells are lysed and DNA is freed. The DNA remains in the aqueous phase. Ethyl alcohol is used to precipitate the DNA. In the inroganic methos, NaCl and EDTA are used for cell lysis. Following this, an approach similar to the organic method is followed. In solid state extraction, DNA is first precipitated in the presence of high slat and low pH conditions. The precipitated DNA is then adsorbed on to a filter membrane surface.

phenol helps to remove non polar proteins and lipids from the solution
Phenol and chloroform are very hydrophobic and are used to remove non-polar bio- molecules (proteins, fragments of membranes, lipids etc) in the extraction.
importance of phenol
The actual role of phenol chloroform isoamyl alcohol in a plasmid DNA extraction is to purify the DNA. The alcohol will act in part as a detergent.
No
stabilization of phenol against oxidation
To achieve precipitation DNA.
chelating Mg2+
DTT is the reducing agent for thiolated DNA
It solubalize lipids and protiens to remove them from DNA
In a DNA extraction, the purpose of a buffer is to solubilize DNA as well as RNA. Because of this, it prevents the DNA for degrading.
