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.
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitors have long been central to antiretroviral therapy, effectively impeding the enzyme responsible for converting viral RNA into DNA – a pivotal step in HIV ...
As imaging tools continue to get more sophisticated, researchers have been able to actually watch biological processes as they are happening in live cells. Scientists have now visualized loops of DNA ...
The crystal structure of a human endogenous reverse transcriptase has similarities to HIV reverse transcriptase, a well-known tractable drug target, which will help design drugs to treat cancer and ...
Surface model of SpCas9–reverse transcriptase–pegRNA–target DNA complex. The prime editor, composed of a SpCas9 and a reverse transcriptase, reverse transcribes template sequence in pegRNA, resulting ...
On the third day of the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Arbor Biotechnologies and Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced that they would be expanding into reverse transcription-based in vivo genetic ...
Just like us, bacteria are under constant threat of infection by viruses (called phages). We’ve found that many bacteria are armed with sophisticated viral defence systems powered by reverse ...
The inhibition of HIV-1’s replicative machinery remains a cornerstone in the battle against AIDS. Central to this approach are inhibitors targeting reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase. Reverse ...
