| PPRP | polyadenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase |
|---|---|
| RDDP | ribonucleic acid-dependent deoxynucleic acid polymerase |
| RPase | ribonucleic acid polymerase |
| RT-PCR | reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction |
| DNA polymerase II | <enzyme> An enzyme that aids in DNA replication. It has a number of different functions, including the repair of ultraviolet radiation damaged DNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| DNA polymerase III | <enzyme> An enzyme that aids in DNA replication. It has a number of different functions, such as: proofreading newly replicated DNA, removing nucleotides from the 3' end of the strand one by one, and binding nucleotides from the 5' end of the strand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| DyNAzyme polymerase | <enzyme> Commercial product from finnzymes used for gene amplification Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| O-antigen polymerase | <enzyme> Involved in the binding of o-antigen repeat units and in polymerizing into the o-antigen chain; mw 43.7 kD; genbank x71970 Registry number: EC 2.4.1.- Synonym: rfc protein, s. Flexneri, rfc gene product, o-antigen polymerase, shigella, o-antigen polymerase, pseudomonas, rfc protein, pseudomonas, o-antigen polymerase, e. Coli (26 Jun 1999) |
| Taq polymerase | <enzyme, molecular biology> A heat stable DNA polymerase that is normally used in the polymerase chain reaction. It was isolated from Thermobius aquaticus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Tet DNA polymerase | <enzyme> From thermus thermophilus; thermostable, used as a replacement for taq polymerase in DNA sequencing Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: DNA polymerase tet (26 Jun 1999) |
| Tli polymerase | <enzyme> Used in polymerase chain reactions; contains a 3'-5' proofreading exonuclease activity Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: thermococcus litoralis DNA polymerase, vent, vent(exo-) DNA polymerase, vent(r) DNA polymerase (26 Jun 1999) |
| UlTma DNA polymerase | <enzyme> A thermostable DNA polymerase with putative proofreading activity Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| acceptor RNA | rNA |
| antisense RNA | <molecular biology> A complementary RNA sequence that binds to (and thus blocks the transcription of) a naturally-occuring (sense) messenger RNA molecule. These proteins can be used to selectively turn off production of certain proteins or block viral genetic instructions, by marking them for destruction by cellular enzymes, in order to prevent the building of new virus or the infection of new cells. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cap II RNA(nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap i-terminated mRNA to cap II-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap II methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cap I RNA (nucleoside-2'-)methyltransferase | <enzyme> Converts cap 0-terminated mRNA to cap i-terminated mRNA Registry number: EC 2.1.1.- Synonym: cap I methylase (26 Jun 1999) |
| p68 RNA helicase | <enzyme> An RNA helicase isolated from uv-induced tumours in mice; amino acid sequence has been determined Registry number: EC 2.7.7.- Synonym: dead box helicase p68 (26 Jun 1999) |
| masked messenger RNA | <molecular biology> Long lived and stable mRNA found originally in the oocytes of echinoderms and constituting a store of maternal information for protein synthesis that is unmasked (derepressed) during the early stages of morphogenesis. In these early stages the rate of cell division is so rapid that transcription from the embryonic genome cannot occur. Undoubtedly not restricted to oocytes and the term can be applied to any mRNA which is present in inactive form. (18 Nov 1997) |
| ribosomal RNA | <molecular biology> A nucleic acid found in all living cells. Plays a role in transferring information from DNA to the protein-forming system of the cell. (16 Dec 1997) |
