Complementary replication.

چکیده
Differential equations for the kinetics of complementary replicating macromolecules in a flow reactor are derived. It is shown that such a model has many features in common with the differential equation for direct replication, the replicator equation. Two special cases of replication, and the influence of mutation on them, have been studied in detail. In the case of first-order mass action kinetics--the quasi-species model--complementary replication, like direct replication, exhibits an error threshold for the replication accuracy, below which the genetic information is lost. In turns out that the long-time behavior of many special cases of the second-order kinetics model can be described in terms of second-order replicator equations, although this is not possible in general.

Ago-2-Mediated Slicer Activity Is Essential for Anti-Flaviviral Efficacy of RNAi
RNA interference can be mediated by fully complementary siRNA or partially complementary miRNA. siRNAs are widely used to suppress viral replication and the fully complementary siRNA bound Ago-2 in the RISC is known to degrade the target RNA. Although other argonaute proteins lacking slicer activity can also bind oligonucleotides with both si and miRNA structures, whether they can also contribu...
متن کاملCancer Therapy: Preclinical Enhanced Safety Profiles of the Telomerase-Specific Replication- Competent Adenovirus by Incorporation of Normal Cell-Specific microRNA-Targeted Sequences
Purpose: Oncolytic adenoviruses (Ad) have been actively pursued as potential agents for cancer treatment. Among the various types of oncolytic Ads, the telomerase-specific replication-competent Ad (TRAD), which possesses an E1 gene expression cassette driven by the human telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter, has shown promising results in human clinical trials; however, the E1 gene is also...
متن کاملInitiation signals for complementary strand DNA synthesis in the region of the replication origin of the Escherichia coli chromosome.
We have used an in vivo plasmid-phi X174 packaging system to detect replication initiation signals in the region of the replication origin (oriC) of the Escherichia coli chromosome. The results obtained are summarized as follows: (i) Neither within nor close to oriC effective signals for initiating complementary strand synthesis could be detected. We conclude that initiation mechanisms for lead...

متن کاملComplement-Based Self-Replicated, Self-Assembled Systems (CBSRSAS)
Self-replication of CBSRSAS may occur as a result of completing the complementary parts of the system or self-assembly of the whole system. Self-replication process is a timeconsuming process that depends on the dynamics of the system components and environmental factors that describe how system components are distributed across the media and how viscous is the media when the viscosity of the m...
