An enzyme that is synthesized continually regardless of growth conditions.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that is synthesized only in the presence of the substrate that acts as an inducer.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that specifically degrades RNA or single-stranded DNA to 5´ mononucleotides. Purified from the filamentous fungus <i>Aspergillus oryzae,</i> S<sub>1</sub> nuclease is used in assessing the extent of a hybridization reaction by removing unpaired regions. It is also used to remove the sticky ends of restriction fragments. In S<sub>1</sub> mapping, the coding region of a gene is detected by performing mRNA-DNA hybridization and removing unpaired DNA with S<sub>1</sub> nuclease.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme that uses RNA molecule as a template for the synthesis of a complementary DNA strand.
Industry:Biotechnology
An enzyme whose synthesis is diminished by a regulatory molecule.
Industry:Biotechnology
An ephemeral state, induced by treatment with cold cations, during which bacterial cells are capable of taking up foreign DNA.
Industry:Biotechnology
An estimate based on a sample or samples of a population, providing an indication of the true population parameter.
Industry:Biotechnology
An event that occurs when all the alleles at a locus except one are eliminated from a population. The remaining allele, now occurring with a frequency of 100%, is said to have been fixed.
Industry:Biotechnology
An experimental approach in which knowledge of the biochemistry and/or physiology of a trait is used to draw up a list of genes whose protein products could be involved in the trait.
