Abstract |
A macrocyclic tetraamine zinc(II) complex appended with two quinoline groups, Zn2+.1,7-bis(4-quinolylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane (Zn2+.Q2-cyclen), was successfully used as a novel additive to suppress non-specific products in DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the presence of Zn2+.Q2-cyclen, the Tm drop of 20-bp heteroduplexes containing a non-complementary base pair was greater than that of the corresponding homoduplex (i.e., primer DNA). Here, we applied such preferential DNA melting to a specificity-enhanced PCR using micromolar concentrations of Zn2+.Q2-cyclen. We demonstrated the selective amplification of target DNA fragments (i.e., the human heart sodium channel Nav1.5 gene) from genomic DNA or a cDNA library. The optimum condition for the specificity-enhanced PCR could be determined in the concentration range of 1.50 μM of Zn2+.Q2-cyclen.
