Words similar to hepadnaviral
Example sentences for: hepadnaviral
How can you use “hepadnaviral” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The hepadnaviral RNAseH activity has not yet been directly measured in viral core particles, however, its existence is inferred from four observations, (i) Sequence alignment of P with known RNAseH enzymes reveals conserved motifs in P [ 17, 18, 19, 20].
The hepadnaviral DNA polymerase activity is strongly associated with the viral core structure and is normally unable to synthesize DNA from an exogenous template [ 16].
Because genetic and biochemical analyses indicate that P possesses an intrinsic RNAseH activity, we conclude that the hepadnaviral RNAseH activity is likely to be "substrate committed" in a manner similar to the template commitment observed for its DNA polymerase activity.
Understanding the mechanism of the template/substrate commitment of the hepadnaviral reverse transcriptase may need to wait until a three-dimensional structure of the polymerase bound to a nucleic acid primer-template is obtained.
(ii) Mutation of the putative RNAseH active site residues in both Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) P blocks synthesis of mature hepadnaviral DNA and results in the expected RNA:DNA heteroduplex [ 19, 21, 22, 23].
