New England Biolabs (NEB®) announced today that they have released a novel, thermostable reverse transcriptase, WarmStart® RTx Reverse Transcriptase, specifically designed for nucleic acid detection.

The mechanism of action of NNRTIs is illustrated in Figure 1. Reverse transcriptase catalyzes RNA-dependent and DNA-dependent polymerase activities, which are essential for viral DNA synthesis when ...

Researchers show that polymerase theta can efficiently convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells. Editor's Note: Thomas Jefferson University issued the ...

The global reverse transcriptase enzymes industry has witnessed remarkable growth and is anticipated to further expand, reaching a valuation of US$ 335.0 Million in 2022 and projected to escalate to ...

One of the hallmarks of many DNA polymerases is that they proofread as they copy DNA, ensuring high-fidelity duplicates of an organism’s genome. This error-checking ability is missing from enzymes ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects more than a tenth of Americans aged 65 and older. The disease has proven difficult to develop new treatments for, and available ...

† Drugs combined with NRTIs or NRTIs/NNRTIs are not listed. NNRTIs: Non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors; NRTIs: Nucleos(t)ide analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitors. Drug-resistance amino ...

If you're getting treated for an HIV infection, your doctor may suggest a type of drug called an NRTI. It's short for "nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase ...

New research shows a transcriptase that helps time cell death varies in expression, and is unusually localized, in cancer cells. The transcriptase, Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (TERT), is ...

New Jersey : According to a study co-authored by a Rutgers researcher, the crystal structure of a human endogenous reverse transcriptase is comparable to HIV reverse transcriptase, a well-known ...
