Update: 2024-12-04
Description
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) would not be the same without the discovery of Taq polymerase, a thermostable enzyme crucial for its efficiency and specificity. The steps of PCR (denaturation, hybridization, and extension) are explained, the effect of temperature on each step, and the advantages and limitations of Taq polymerase with other polymerases are compared. Finally, the various applications of PCR in different fields, including molecular biology, medicine and forensic science, are presented.
