摘      要：Gold nanoparticles(AuNPs)have been reported to induce faster heat transfer of polymerase chain reaction(PCR)solution to enhance PCR *** can also increase the specificity of PCR by functioning analogously to single-stranded DNA binding protein(SSB).However,the simple structure of AuNPs makes it difficult to determine how AuNPs affect PCR efficiency and *** study aimed to elucidate the effect of AuNPs on PCR efficiency by altering the denaturation times and annealing *** addition,comparative study of the effect of AuNPs on PCR inhibition caused by two competitive primers allowed investigation of the mechanisms of AuNP-enhanced PCR ***,heat-treated salmon sperm DNA was used to evaluate whether AuNPs could eliminate the inhibitory PCR effect caused by DNA *** study demonstrated that enhanced thermal conductivity by AuNPs was the main mechanism for increased PCR efficiency and *** promoted efficient double-stranded DNA template unwinding and dissociation between mismatched primers,DNA fragments and template,and enhanced PCR efficiency and specificity ***,this significant finding suggests the future use of AuNP-assisted PCR in different fields,especially in rapid clinical diagnosis and screening by PCR.
