20090155777 | Methods for performing direct enzymatic reactions involving nucleic acid molecules - Methods for performing a direct enzymatic reaction involving a nucleic acid molecule include performing the enzymatic reaction directly using a biological specimen in a reaction mixture containing a zwitterionic buffer and/or a non-reducing carbohydrate to prevent the biological specimen from inhibiting the enzymatic reaction, in which a nucleic acid molecule present in the biological specimen is not purified before the enzymatic reaction, and obtaining a product from the enzymatic reaction. | 06-18-2009 |
