Describe the role of bacterium Thermus aquaticus in carrying the process of polymerase chain reaction.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Bacterium Thermus aquaticus produces an enzyme called Taq polymerase, which is resistant to denaturation by heat treatment. This enzyme is used to amplify a specific DNA fragment in a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique. The enzyme utilizes building blocks [dNTPs (deoxynucleotides)] to extend the primer.
