Abstract
Amplification of long fragments from complex templates, such as eukaryotic genomic DNA, is considered a difficult task for most DNA polymerases. In this research, six DNA polymerases were used to amplify full-length sequences from the genomic DNA of Solanum tuberosum genes encoding translation initiation factors of the eIF4E family, as well as for the synthesis of fragments of the potato Y virus genome from cDNA of potato plants infected by this virus. It was found that the efficiency of amplification by various DNA polymerases generally decreased with the increasing length of the amplicons. LongAmp and Platinum SuperFi II polymerases demonstrated the highest efficiency in the synthesis of long fragments, which made it possible to synthesize PCR products with a length of more than 10 000 base pairs with high efficiency. The lowest efficiency was demonstrated by Encyclo polymerase. None of the DNA polymerases provided efficient amplification of all the studied DNA fragments. At the same time, any of the studied DNA fragments could be effectively amplified using at least one DNA polymerase variant. Thus, the choice of DNA polymerase was of key importance for the efficiency of the synthesis of a desired PCR product.
期刊介绍:
Applied Biochemistry and Microbiology is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes original articles on biochemistry and microbiology that have or may have practical applications. The studies include: enzymes and mechanisms of enzymatic reactions, biosynthesis of low and high molecular physiologically active compounds; the studies of their structure and properties; biogenesis and pathways of their regulation; metabolism of producers of biologically active compounds, biocatalysis in organic synthesis, applied genetics of microorganisms, applied enzymology; protein and metabolic engineering, biochemical bases of phytoimmunity, applied aspects of biochemical and immunochemical analysis; biodegradation of xenobiotics; biosensors; biomedical research (without clinical studies). Along with experimental works, the journal publishes descriptions of novel research techniques and reviews on selected topics.
