DETAILS

Description (English)

Application
The addition of betaine at a final concentration of 0.8-1.6M improves the amplification of DNA by reducing the formation of secondary structure in GC-rich regions. The addition of betaine has been reported to enhance the specificity of the polymerase chain reaction by eliminating the base pair composition dependence of DNA melting.1
