Initilization/Denaturation Discovered in 1976, T. aquaticus is a hot spring bacterium with a DNA polymerase able to withstand temperatures up to 95 oC. At a temperature of 72 oC, Taq- polymerase can replicate 1000 base pair strands in under 10 seconds. Utilizing this enzymes, PCR was born. PCR can be broken down into 4 steps. Research each of these steps and define what happens during each and list what temperature they are generally performed.
