Why is a thermostable polymerase used in PCR?

The thermostable polymerase (or Taq polymerase) is a thermostable DNA polymerase (named after the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus from which it was originally isolated by Thomas D. Brock in 1965), is often abbreviated to "Taq Pol" (or simply "Taq"), and is frequently used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Taq polymerase is as an enzyme able to withstand the protein-denaturing conditions (high temperature) required during PCR; Therefore it replaced the DNA polymerase from E. coli originally used in PCR. Taq's optimum temperature for activity is 75-80°C, with a half-life of greater than 2 hours at 92.5°C, 40 minutes at 95°C and 9 minutes at 97.5°C, and can replicate a 1000 base pair strand of DNA in less than 10 seconds at 72°C.

Which two methods are most often used in DNA fingerprinting?

The two most often used methods in DNA fingerprinting are polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis. PCR is used to amplify the DNA samples, while gel electrophoresis is used to separate the DNA fragments based on their size.

In genetics what does MB stand for?

Mb = million bases (or base pairs). The length of a strand of DNA is often denoted by the number of bases, which is equal to the number of nucleotides. So 2.4 kb means 2,400 bases, and 3.7 Mb means 3.7 million bases.For a double-stranded molecule of DNA, the letters "bp" are often used, meaning "base pairs".

What is main function of DNA polymerase?

The DNA polymerase enzyme synthesises the complementary DNA strand to a single stranded DNA strand (in vivo and in vitro). This often requires the presence of a 3' end for the polymerase enzyme to bind to before synthesis can begin. Taq polymerase (A DNA polymerase) is often used in PCR reactions to synthesise DNA in vitro using primers to provide a 3' end to bind to.
