Pcr primer with specific structure for nucleic acid amplification
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926870B2) discloses a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) primer with a specific structure, including a double-stranded restriction enzyme recognition site and a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) pair. The primer is designed with a 5 to 15 bp PspG1 restriction enzyme recognition sequence, enhancing its specificity. Additionally, the FRET pair includes various fluorophores like carboxyfluorescein and quenchers, enabling efficient PCR amplification.
The patent also covers a method for performing PCR, particularly quantitative PCR (qPCR), using the described primer and reagents. The method involves amplifying a template with the specific PCR primer structure and utilizing the PspG1 restriction enzyme. Notably, the method allows for the amplification of multiple amplicons in a single nucleic acid amplification reaction, with options to amplify at least 4, 6, or 10 amplicons. This innovation in PCR technology could have significant implications in various fields requiring precise and efficient nucleic acid amplification techniques.
