Research and DevelopmentPCR - The Underlying Technology
Base pairing occurs during the step of thermal cycling in which the primers are attached to the DNA template strand. It also occurs during the step in which the taq polymerase attaches the deoxyribonucleotides to the DNA template strand. Base-pairing occurs during these steps because the DNA strands are held at temperatures at which the strands are denatured but the temperature is not high enough to prevent the formation of hydrogen bonds.
