Peptide Sequence Manipulations
Primer Analyzer Tool (check temperature & GC content)
- primers should be 17-28 bases in length;
- base composition should be 50-60% (G+C);
- primers should end (3') in a G or C, or CG or GC: this prevents "breathing" of ends and increases efficiency of priming;
- Tms between 55-80oC are preferred;
- 3'-ends of primers should not be complementary (ie. base pair), as otherwise primer dimers will be synthesised preferentially to any other product;
- primer self-complementarity (ability to form 2o structures such as hairpins) should be avoided;
- runs of three or more Cs or Gs at the 3'-ends of primers may promote mispriming at G or C-rich sequences (because of stability of annealing), and should be avoided.
