LIC PCR Primer with Signal Peptide?

... I've been told when designing my primer that I should remove the signal peptide (cleavage site at the 26th amino acid) which corresponds to removing ... of my particular gene of interest and then just expect the primer to bond to the gene of interest. Cheers

Cell Bio

Why (in detail please) in the carboxypeptidase mechanism, the weak bonds between an enzyme and a substrate will stretch the peptide bond of the substrate which lowers the bond energy? I just want to know why in detail ...
