## PCR Primer Melting Temperature

Accurate Tm prediction is essential for PCR primer design. The salt-corrected formula accounts for ionic strength effects on DNA stability.

### Salt-Corrected Formula

**Tm = 81.5 + 16.6 × log10([Na+]) + 41 × (GC fraction) - 675/N**

where [Na+] is in moles/L and N is the primer length. The annealing temperature for PCR is typically set 3-5°C below the primer Tm.

हल किया गया उदाहरण

A 22-mer primer with 12 GC bases at 50 mM Na+.

  1. GC fraction = 12/22 = 0.5455
  2. Tm = 81.5 + 16.6 × log10(0.050) + 41 × 0.5455 - 675/22
  3. Tm = 81.5 + 16.6 × (-1.301) + 22.36 - 30.68
  4. Tm = 81.5 - 21.60 + 22.36 - 30.68 = 51.58°C
  5. Annealing temp ≈ 51.58 - 5 = 46.58°C
