Which of the following is not an application of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)? (1) Molecular diagnosis (2) Gene amplification (3) Purification of isolated protein (4) Detection of gene mutation

Correct option: (3) Purification of isolated protein

  • PCR is Polymerase Chain Reaction.
  • It is used for making multiple copies of the gene.
  • PCR is used for:
  • Gene amplification.
  • PCR-based assays have been developed that detect the presence of gene sequences of the infectious agents.
  • Detecting mutations.
  • Protein is not the target of PCR.
  • So, plays no role in its purification.
