mgcl2 work as a cofactor and they enhance the enzymatic reaction..
Sucrose is used in DNA isolation from human blood as a protective agent to help maintain the integrity of the DNA during the isolation process. It helps to stabilize the DNA by providing a protective barrier against enzymes and other degradation factors present in the blood sample. Additionally, sucrose can aid in the separation of DNA from other cellular components during the isolation procedure.

PEG (polyethylene glycol) is commonly used in plasmid DNA isolation to precipitate the DNA. When mixed with DNA in a high-salt buffer, PEG causes the DNA to aggregate and precipitate out of solution. This allows for separation of the plasmid DNA from other cellular components, making it easier to purify the DNA.
Chilled absolute alcohol, typically ethanol or isopropanol, is used in DNA isolation to precipitate DNA from a solution. When added to a mixture containing DNA, the alcohol reduces the solubility of DNA, allowing it to aggregate and form visible strands. The cold temperature enhances this effect by minimizing the activity of enzymes that could degrade the DNA and promoting better separation of the DNA from other cellular components. This step is crucial for obtaining a pure DNA sample suitable for further analysis.
IN certain cases, enzymes are used to denature (or break up) proteins and disrupt the cell wall (in case of plants). These enzymes require magnesium ions as co-factors in order to catalyze the reaction.
It sequester carbohydrates in the solution
the role seveg in plant DNA extractions is to remove chlorophyll and similar pigments
Reactants: (dNTPs, template DNA (to be amplified), primers(bind to DNA to begin elongation of strand), DNA Polymerase (elongate DNA), & MgCl2) in buffer + H2O
It is an antioxidant.
Carrier RNA is used in DNA isolation to help precipitate and recover DNA more efficiently. It acts as a carrier for the DNA during precipitation, helping to aggregate the DNA molecules together for ease of isolation. This improves DNA recovery and purity during the isolation process.
Potassium chloride is used in Tkm1 buffer to help maintain the appropriate ionic strength for DNA isolation. It helps to stabilize the DNA through proper salt concentration, assisting in the precipitation of DNA during the isolation process.
Sucrose is used in DNA isolation from human blood as a protective agent to help maintain the integrity of the DNA during the isolation process. It helps to stabilize the DNA by providing a protective barrier against enzymes and other degradation factors present in the blood sample. Additionally, sucrose can aid in the separation of DNA from other cellular components during the isolation procedure.

beta- merceptoethanol denatures the protein by breaking the sulphur bridges in it.
Chloroform is used in DNA isolation to separate the DNA from other cellular components like proteins and lipids. It helps in the denaturation of proteins, disrupting their structure and allowing the DNA to separate into the aqueous phase. Chloroform aids in the extraction and purification of DNA from the sample.
TRIS (tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane): Firstly it's used to get the right pH for DNA extraction, but Tris is preffered over other buffers because Tris interacts with the lipopolysaccharides present on the outer membrane which helps to permeabilize the membrane. This effect is enhanced with the addition of EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), which is a chelating agent that captures metal ions (like Ca2+). MgCl2: When membranes are busted by TRIS, there is no compartmentalization in the solution anymore. MgCl2 is then used because it binds to DNA and thus protects it against DNase proteins that are now (because of lack of membranes) in direct contact with your DNA. The binding of MgCl2 to DNA denies access of DNase to the DNA, and your DNA will not be broken down.
NaCl provides Na+ions which form ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphate of DNA,thus neutralizing the effect of negative ,negative repulsion of DNA and helps the DNA molecules to come closer and compact to simplify our process of DNA isolation...
