Self-sustained Evolution of RNA

Self-sustained replication of an RNA enzyme.

An RNA enzyme that catalyzes the RNA-templated joining of RNA was converted to a format whereby two enzymes catalyze each other's synthesis from a total of four oligonucleotide substrates. These cross-replicating RNA enzymes undergo self-sustained exponential amplification in the absence of proteins or other biological materials. Amplification occurs with a doubling time of about 1 hour and can...

introduction of rna virus evolution

lots of viruses, in particular rna viruses, have high mutation rates and relatively short generation times. particle stability during infection in nature or in laboratory triggers the evolutionary event toward different mechanisms such as genome segmentation, point mutation and  recombination. the frequency of mutant genomes increase and modify  the previous distribution, which, consequently, l...

Solid Sirolimus Self-microemulsifying Drug Delivery System: Development and Evaluation of Tablets with Sustained Release Property

The clinical application of sirolimus (SRL) as an immunosuppressive agent is largely hampered by its narrow therapeutic range. This study focused on developing SRL tablets with a sustained release profile for better safety. SRL was highly water insoluble and its solubility has been efficiently enhanced by preparing self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS). The SRL-SMEDDS was physical...
