The enzymes might not function properly.
PCR requires the correct buffer (pH, Mg2+ and salt concentrations, cofactors) for the DNA polymerase and for proper primer annealing. A wrong buffer can inactivate or reduce polymerase activity, change primer binding specificity, and lead to little or no amplification or incorrect/non‑specific products.
