Transcriptase in a sentence

This approach is more commonly associated with the inhibition of reverse transcriptase (RNA to DNA) than with "normal" transcriptase (DNA to RNA).

An improved knowledge of the action of reverse transcriptase has led to better nucleoside analogues to treat HIV infections.

By inserting eukaryotic mRNA for insulin production along with reverse transcriptase into bacteria, the mRNA could be inserted into the prokaryote's genome.

First of all, the reverse transcriptase synthesizes viral DNA from viral RNA, and then from newly made complementary DNA strand.

For example, scientists have successfully constructed RNA that copies itself in an "environment" that is a solution of RNA monomers and transcriptase.

For example, the gag gene is translated into molecules of the capsid protein, the pol gene is translated into molecules of reverse transcriptase, and the env gene is translated into molecules of the envelope protein.

However these drugs can quickly become ineffective due to the fact that the gene sequences that code for the protease and the reverse transcriptase quickly mutate.

Industrial drugs that are designed as protease and reverse transcriptase inhibitors are made such that they target specific sites and sequences within their respective enzymes.

In eukaryotes Self-replicating stretches of eukaryotic genomes known as retrotransposons utilize reverse transcriptase to move from one position in the genome to another via an RNA intermediate.

It is unknown how often such mixed packaging occurs under natural conditions. citation Bonhoeffer et al. citation suggested that template switching by the reverse transcriptase acts as a repair process to deal with breaks in the ssRNA genome.

Molecular biology details Reverse transcriptase is commonly used in research to apply the polymerase chain reaction technique to RNA in a technique called reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

Process of reverse transcription Reverse transcriptase creates single-stranded DNA from an RNA template.

Researchers have gone further and developed inhibitors that do not look like nucleosides, but can still block reverse transcriptase.

Reverse transcriptase converted this edited RNA back into DNA so it could be incorporated in the genome.

Strand switching (copy-choice recombination) by reverse transcriptase could generate an undamaged copy of genomic DNA from two damaged ssRNA genome copies.

Subviral particles are probably akin to cores derived in vitro from virions by physical or proteolytic treatments that remove the outer capsid and causes activation of the BTV transcriptase.

Testing of the mosquito samples requires the use of reverse-transcriptase PCR ( RT-PCR ) to directly amplify and show the presence of virus in the submitted samples.

The classical PCR technique can be applied only to DNA strands, but, with the help of reverse transcriptase, RNA can be transcribed into DNA, thus making PCR analysis of RNA molecules possible.

The fact that the PBS is located near the 5’ terminus of viral RNA is unusual because reverse transcriptase synthesize DNA from 3’ end of the primer in the 5’ to 3’ direction (with respect to the RNA template).

There are two strands of RNA within the cell that have three enzymes: protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase (1).
