Primer Analysis & Design
http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/molbio
A little something to get you in the mood…
![Page 5: Primer Design & Restriction Analysis 2 nd April 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813985550346895da11929/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) very simple
exponential amplification similar to natural DNA replication
The primary reagents, used in PCR are:
Template DNA–DNA sequence to amplify DNA nucleotides–building blocks for new DNA Taq polymerase–heat stable enzyme catalyzes new DNA Primers–single-stranded DNA, ~20-50 nucleotides,
complimentary to a short region on either side of template DNA

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)
1. Raise temperature (94-98), denature DNA strands
2. Lower temp (50-65), anneal primers
3. Increase temp (72-80), allow time for extensions
4. Repeat process 25-40X

Things to consider for primer design…
Primer-Dimer formation
Secondary Structures in Primers
Illegitimate Priming in Template DNA due to repeated sequences
Incompatibility with PCR conditions
SOURCE: NCBI
http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/molbio
![Page 8: Primer Design & Restriction Analysis 2 nd April 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813985550346895da11929/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Primer-Dimer formation
homology within a primer (self dimer) or between the sense and anti-sense primer (cross dimer)
bonding of the two primers, increasing primer-dimer artifact and reducing product yields
particularly problematic when the homology occurs at the 3' end of either primer
SOURCE: NCBI
http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/molbio
![Page 9: Primer Design & Restriction Analysis 2 nd April 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813985550346895da11929/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Self Dimer (example)
The primer sequence is ATCAGCTGTAGAT It forms 2 dimers:
internal dimer where 3rd-8th bases of primer in 5‘3' (starting from 5') bond with 6th-11th bases (starting from 3') when primer is placed in reverse direction
3' end dimer where the last 3 bases (starting from 5') of primer placed in 5‘3' direction bond with last three base (starting from 3') placed in reverse direction.
3’ end dimer
internal dimer
SOURCE: NCBI

Cross Dimer (example)
Sense primer sequence is ATCAGCTGTAGAT Anti-sense primer sequence is ATAGTGTAGAT Forms one cross dimer at the 3' end
3’ cross dimer
SOURCE: NCBI

![Page 11: Primer Design & Restriction Analysis 2 nd April 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813985550346895da11929/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Secondary Structure in Primers Hairpin loop
formed when primer folds back upon itself held in place by intramolecular bonding can occur with as few as 3 consecutive homologous bases stability measured by the free energy
The free energy of the loop is based upon the energy of the intramolecular bond and the energy needed to twist the DNA to form the loop.
If free energy >0, the loop is too unstable to interfere with the reaction
If free energy <0, the loop could reduce the efficiency of amplification

Hairpin Loop (example)
The primer sequence is ATCGATATTCGAAGAT It forms two hairpins:
3' end hairpin where the primer folds back upon itself and first and last 3 bases bond together
internal hairpin where 2nd-5th and 9th-12th bases bond together
3’ end hairpin
internal hairpin

NetPrimer—antisense hairpin
The most negative (i.e., most stable) DG is used for
calculating the rating.

![Page 23: Primer Design & Restriction Analysis 2 nd April 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813985550346895da11929/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
NetPrimer—3’ & 5’ stabilityAn ideal primer has a stable 5'
end and an unstable 3' end.
Unstable 3’ = limits bonding to false priming sites. The lower this value, numerically, the more liable the primer is to show secondary bands. less negative = less false priming.
Stable 5’ = called the GC Clamp, it increases bonding to the target site. The lower this value, numerically, the more efficient is the primer. more negative = better bonding.

NetPrimer—rating
The rating of a primer provides a quick way of measuring the predicted efficiency of a primer as well as choosing between closely matched primers. The higher the rating of a primer, the higher its amplification efficiency.
http://www.hsls.pitt.edu/molbio
![Page 25: Primer Design & Restriction Analysis 2 nd April 2014](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070403/56813985550346895da11929/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
NetPrimer—DG DG = DH – T * DS = free energy of the primer
DH = enthalpy (internal energy) of primer T = temperature DS = entropy (unavailable energy) of primer
Example: primer sequence = ATTCGCGGATTAGCCGATDG = -154500 cal/mol – (298.15 * -403 cal/°K/mol) = -34.35 kcal/mol
Rating = 100 + [(DG dimer * 1.8) + (DG hairpin * 1.4)]
Example: 100 + [(-10.36 kcal/mol * 1.8) + (-3.28 * 1.4)]
100 + [-18.648 + -4.592]100 + -23.2476.76
The higher the rating, the better!

Primer Design Tips
RT-PCR (to avoid unwanted amplification of genomic DNA) Primer pair should span an intron
Or One of the primers should be at exon-exon junction
SNP issues May cause mismatch, so pick primers outside of this region
qPCR Specificity of amplification (amount of PCR product = fluor intensity)

Sample Exercises1. What is the %GC content of this Sequence?
2. How many restriction enzymes cut this sequence only once?
3. If you cut the sequence with Kpn I and Hinc II, how many DNA fragments will be generated?
4. How many open reading frames (ORF) are present?
5. Find the restriction enzymes with compatible ends that can be used to excise the largest ORF.

Sample Exercises Hints (NEBcutter)1. What is the %GC content of this Sequence?
See top left of page (after entering sequence info)2. How many restriction enzymes cut this sequence
only once? Select for single cutters
3. If you cut the sequence with Kpn I and Hinc II, how many DNA fragments will be generated? Select Custom digest, then View gel
4. How many open reading frames (ORF) are present? Select ORF summary
5. Find the restriction enzymes with compatible ends that can be used to excise the largest ORF. Select the ORF, then locate multiple cutters, cut positions
