| Abstract: | We report herein that exposure of DNA to microwave irradiation at constant temperature leads to faster strand exchange, as compared with same experiments carried out in a water bath at the same temperature. Furthermore, polymerase chain reactions carried out under microwave irradiation were faster than those in a water bath at the same temperature as well. While the causes of these differences are unclear at this time, this research suggests that microwave irradiation can lead to subtle changes in DNA structural dynamics and functions. |
