Below are 9 possible primer pairs. ● Determine which primer pair is the best choice by considering the following: 1. primers should be 18-24 bases in length; 2. base composition should be 45-55% (G+C); 3. primers should end (3') in a G or C, or CG or GC: this prevents "breathing" of ends and increases efficiency of priming; 4. Tms tween 55-70°℃ are preferred (Tas, annealing temperatures, are approximately 5°C lower than the Tm); 5. the Tm for your primer pair should be within 2 degrees of each other, though ideally the same; 6. 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; 7. 3'-ends of primers should not be complementary (i.e. base pair), as otherwise the formation of primer dimers will result; 8. primer self-complementary (ability to form secondary structures such as hairpins) should be avoided. • Explain why the other primers are not good choices. ● Underline or…
