The buffer plays a major role under such situations, and the Tris buffer maintains the pH of the solution. Tris buffer after titration of Tris base solution [ 25 ]: A with HCL; B around pH 8, it contains Tris weak base; C its conjugate acid; and D in equilibrium it acts as buffer near physiological pH range.
Divalent cations are the cofactors for many enzymes that increase the activity of the enzyme. EDTA chelates divalent cations like magnesium and calcium [ 25 ]. Plants are rich in phenolics compounds and to get a quality DNA these should be removed.
Globular proteins get dissolved in water. To make them insoluble, their denaturation is one of the alternatives that can be done at tertiary and quaternary structure level of protein by reducing intermolecular disulfide linkages. Polyphenol is a major component in medicinal plants, woody plants, and mature plant parts.
It is present in the vacuole, while its oxidizing enzyme, polyphenol oxidase PPO is located in plastid [ 15 ]. During grinding of the tissue, compartmentalization breaks and PPO convert polyphenols into quinone, which gives brown coloration. Polyphenols bind DNA and make downstream processing difficult as they get co-precipitated with the nucleic acid. PVP removes polyphenolic contamination by binding it through hydrogen bond [ 16 , 17 ]. Thus, it prevents polyphenol oxidation, and thereby browning of DNA samples [ 18 ].
When the extract is centrifuged with chloroform, PVP complexes get accumulated at the interphase. After removing the sample from water bath, it should be allowed to cool at room temperature, then chloroform:isoamyl alcohol or phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol shall be added. Chloroform:octanol can also be used instead of chloroform:isoamyl alcohol Phenol is an organic solvent, so it is not miscible with water and is used along with chloroform and isoamyl alcohol for purification of the DNA to remove proteins and polysaccharide contaminants.
When phenol is shaken with cell extract, the nonpolar components of the cell will be fractionated in phenol, leaving polar ones in water. DNA is insoluble in phenol because phenol is a nonpolar solution. On the other side, protein has both polar and nonpolar groups present in it because of the long chain of different amino acids. Different amino acids have different groups present on their side chain. Also, the folding of the protein into the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure depends on the polarity of the amino acids.
The bonds between amino acids are broken by the addition of phenol and protein gets denatured and ultimately the protein becomes unfolded. Centrifugation after phenol:chloroform:isoamyl alcohol in ratio steps gives three layers, that is aqueous, interphase, and at bottom organic phase. At neutral to alkaline pH, the nucleic acids are negatively charged and polar. Therefore, it is hydrophilic and remains in an aqueous phase. In aqueous solution, hydrophobic amino acid forms a protective core.
However, after denaturation, nonpolar cores hydrophobic get exposed, causing precipitation of protein as well as some polysaccharides at interphase. The phenol-chloroform combination reduces the partitioning of poly A and mRNA into the organic phase and reduces the formation of insoluble RNA protein complexes at the interphase. Only neutral phenol should be used, as acidic phenol dissolves DNA within, or phenol turns into quinones by oxidation and it forms free radical, degrading nucleic acid.
During this step, the DNA shall be in aqueous phase [ 19 ]. Chloroform CHCl 3 or trichloromethane is a nonpolar hydrophobic solvent, in which nonpolar proteins and lipids get dissolved to promote the partitioning of lipids and cellular debris into the organic phase, leaving isolated DNA protected in the aqueous phase. Chloroform ensures phase separation of the two liquids because it has a higher density 1.
As chloroform is volatile in nature, it does not hinder the downstream process. Chloroform comes in contact with the air and forms gas phosgene COCl 2 , carbonyl chloride , which is harmful.
Isoamyl alcohol or isopentanol is not miscible in the aqueous solution because it is a long-chain aliphatic compound, containing five carbon atoms and stabilizes the interphase between organic and aqueous layer. The aqueous phase contains DNA and the organic phase contains lipid, proteins, and other impurities.
Isoamyl alcohol helps to inhibit RNase activity and to help prevent the solubilization in the phenol phase of long RNA molecules with long poly A portions. This will increase the purity of DNA. A The hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by RNase A.
An RNA molecule is a chain of nucleotides linked by the phosphodiester bond, which may be cleaved by RNase [ 27 ]. A This figure shows only two nucleotides adjacent to the cleavage site and B the intermediate product transition state of this reaction. Alcohol is used to precipitate the DNA out of the extraction solution, so we can wash all those salts and chemicals away and then dissolve it in our final solvent—usually water or some variant of Tris-EDTA solution. DNA remains dissolved in aqueous solution because DNA has phosphodiester backbone, which is hydrophilic in nature.

The described method, developed to improve genomic DNA extractions from leaf tissue of recalcitrant plant species, is a marked improvement over other methods as it does not require multiple clean up steps, precipitations, or commercial based kits or reagents. Using the protocol, high quality DNA was isolated from species of Corymbia and Coffea that passed stringent Illumina NGS library submission requirements, despite high amounts of high leaf phenolics and polysaccharides.
The method was generated with the intent of using a single protocol for all plant species, regardless of the presence or absence of DNA co-extractive contaminants. With this robust protocol, whole-genome sequencing is possible from recalcitrant plant species using established DNA sequencing technologies for advanced bioinformatics investigations.
