Why saturated KCL in DNA extraction is used?

Saturated KCl precipitation is often used in DNA extraction for molluscan taxa. Molluscs produce a polysaccharide rich mucus that interferes with the reagents involved in DNA extraction. The KCl saturated solution is used right after the digestion step: about 1/4th of the volume of the digestion solution is added to the sample. Samples are then centrifugated at 14rpm for 15 minutes. The pellet formed will contain the polysaccharides and non digested tissue. The supernatant is extracted from the tube and used in the next steps of the DNA extraction.

Electrophilic and Nucleophilic Reagents?

ELECTROFILIC REAGENTS:It is the combination of two words(electro means electron and phile means loving).Therefore those reagents that contain positive charge on it are called eletrophilic reagents. These reagents have the property of attacking on the negative part of the other substance.Some of the reagents are(NO2+ ,SO3+) NUCLEOPHILIC REAGENTS:Combination(nucleo means nucleus and phuile means loving)


Why are Grignard reagents synthesized in an ether medium?

Grignard reagents are stable in ether medium. Ether generally forms an adduct with Grignard reagents. In addition, if solvents containing acidic hydrogens are present, Grignard reagents are decomposed to the corresponding hydrocarbon.
