Strand Displacement Amplification methods (thermophilic SDA) which can be performed over a broad temperature range (37 ° C to 70 ° C). The preferred temperature range for thermophilic SDA is 50 °C to 70 °C. It has been found that certain thermophilic restriction endonucleases are capable of nicking the hemimodified restriction endonuclease recognition/cleavage site as required by SDA and dissociating from the site. It has further been found that certain thermophilic polymerases are capable of extending from the nick while displacing the downstream strand. Thermophilic SDA, because of reaction temperatures higher than previously possible with conventional SDA enzyme systems, has improved specificity and efficiency, reduced nonspecific background amplification, and potentially improved yields of amplification products. In addition, the need to add the enzymes in a separate step after the initial heat denaturation of double stranded targets is eliminated when enzymes capable of tolerating the denaturation temperature are used.
链置换扩增方法(嗜热 SDA),可在较宽的温度范围(37 ° C 至 70 ° C)内进行。嗜热 SDA 的首选温度范围为 50 ℃ 至 70 ℃。研究发现,某些嗜热限制性内切酶能够按照 SDA 的要求,剔除半改性限制性内切酶识别/清除位点,并与该位点分离。研究还发现,某些嗜热聚合酶能够从缺口处延伸,同时取代下游链。嗜热 SDA 的反应温度比传统 SDA 酶系统要高,因此提高了特异性和效率,减少了非特异性背景扩增,并有可能提高扩增产物的产量。此外,如果使用能够耐受变性温度的酶,就不需要在双链目标物初始热变性后的单独步骤中添加酶。
