The current research aims to explore an enzyme-assisted inorganic DNA extraction protocol to obtain maximum yield from whole blood. We considered various operating conditions such as incubation temperature and time along with proteinase K enzyme concentration. To model and simulate the extraction process, Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was employed with three factors and its five levels, coupled with the desired functional response surface methodology (RSM). RSM entails fitting a mathematical model for experimental data to optimize a response variable with Box-Behnken Design. The best simulation settings yielded the maximum DNA at an incubation temperature of 56{degrees}C for 10 hours and proteinase K enzyme concentration of 10{micro}L. Utilizing these parameters, a yield of 300{micro}L was obtained. Furthermore, other DNA extraction parameters may also be added for a more robust design for obtaining the maximum DNA yield.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
