A probabilistic approach to the kinetics of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is developed. The approach treats the primer extension step of PCR as a microscopic Markov process in which the molecules of deoxy-nucleoside triphosphate (dNTP) are bound to the 3 end of the primer strand one at a time.
To simulate the dynamics of a chemicaliy reacting system as a Markov chain, the states of the chain need to be properly identified. In the present approach, a molecule is viewed as an "object", "entity" or system. The transformation of the molecule from one species to another is visualized as the tr
