The annealing between the primer and the. target gene is an equilibrium reaction, and the annealing reaction proceeds with a smaller Î´G (see lower right. Figure on the previous page). 2.3 GC content. Primers are designed so that their GC content is between about 40% to 65%. Primers with GC content between 50% and 60% tend to give relatively good primers. 2.4 Secondary structure. It is important, particularly for the Inner primer, that primers are designed so that they do not form secondary. structures.
