Deoxynucleotide Triphosphate Set, PCR Grade: sc-43503

The Deoxynucleotide Triphosphate Set, PCR Grade, consists of four essential nucleotides: deoxyadenosine triphosphate (dATP), deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP), deoxyguanosine triphosphate (dGTP), and deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP). These nucleotides are integral to the DNA synthesis process during the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), where they are incorporated into the DNA strand being synthesized, according to the sequence dictated by the DNA template. Each nucleotide in the set contributes a triphosphate group that not only acts as a substrate for DNA polymerase but also provides the necessary energy for the formation of phosphodiester bonds between nucleotides, facilitating chain elongation. PCR Grade indicates that these nucleotides are of high purity and free from contaminants that could potentially inhibit the PCR process. This high standard of quality is crucial in research applications such as genetic sequencing, cloning, and genotyping, where the accuracy and efficiency of DNA amplification are paramount. The reliable performance of these nucleotides under PCR conditions ensures that they are indispensable tools in molecular biology, aiding in the precise amplification and detailed study of specific DNA sequences in numerous scientific investigations.
