SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on converting the weight of nucleotides into pmol/l for primer preparation. To achieve this, one must know the sequence of the primers and calculate the molecular weight using basic chemistry principles. The protocol specifies dissolving dried primer stocks at a concentration of 100 pmol/l in RNAse-free water and storing them at -20°C. The calculation involves determining the molecular weight based on the nucleotide sequence, particularly for primers with a length of 6 nucleotides.
