Nicking enzyme assisted amplification (NEAA) is an extremely rapid method for molecular diagnosis. However, this technology is not widely applied for real sample analysis because the overproduced non-specific products limit its sensitivity and raise the threshold of detection methods. Here, we have found that the non-specific amplification is mainly caused by the coexistence of Bst polymerase, nicking primers and dNTP. The highly active nicking enzyme directs and accelerates the non-specific amplification in a way which favors nicking. To suppress the non-specific amplification, the nicking enzyme concentration, reaction temperature, and magnesium ion concentration are optimized. The compatibility of Bst polymerase with the concentration of the monovalent cation is also crucial. Besides, the sensitivity could be enhanced by shortening the target sequences and priming the 3' end of the target.

D004259 DNA-Directed DNA Polymerase DNA-dependent DNA polymerases found in bacteria, animal and plant cells. During the replication process, these enzymes catalyze the addition of deoxyribonucleotide residues to the end of a DNA strand in the presence of DNA as template-primer. They also possess exonuclease activity and therefore function in DNA repair.
