An improved protocol for site-directed mutagenesis based on the two-step polymerase chain reaction (PCR) megaprimer method is described. Compared to previously published protocols, the protocol described in this article ensures consistently a success rate of at least 85% with essentially no introduction of unwanted secondary mutations. The essential features of this protocol include an optimization of the template-primer amounts and ratio that allows the use of a reduced number of PCR cycles and the use of proof-reading thermostable DNA polymerases.
