A viable mechanism for primer-dimer formation in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process has been proposed based on experimental results. This mechanism results in a kinetic description of the primer-dimer formation process with the Taq DNA polymerase enzyme, the two primers and the dNTPs as the starting materials. The possible impact of this primer-dimer formation on the selectivity and yield of PCR process is discussed.
