1 The optimal temperature for Taq polymerase is about 75-80 o C, but it is partially active even at typical annealing temperatures so primer extension begins during the annealing step. 2  The rate of primer extension by Taq polymerase is about 50-100 nucleotides/sec.
1 The extension time depends both on the DNA polymerase used and on the length of the DNA fragment to amplify. 2  As a rule-of-thumb, at its optimum temperature, the DNA polymerase polymerizes a thousand bases per minute. Miniprimer PCR: uses a thermostable polymerase (S-Tbr) that can extend from short primers (smalligos) as short as 9 or 10 nucleotides. 2  This method permits PCR targeting to smaller primer binding regions, and is used to amplify conserved DNA sequences, such as the 16S (or eukaryotic 18S) rRNA gene.
