DNA Primers
Research News and Information

Definition of 'DNA Primers'

Short sequences (generally about 10 base pairs) of DNA that are complementary to sequences of messenger RNA and allow reverse transcriptases to start copying the adjacent sequences of mRNA. Primers are used extensively in genetic and molecular biology techniques.

Common names: DNA Primers; Primers, DNA; Oligodeoxyribonucleotide Primers; Primers, Oligodeoxyribonucleotide; Oligonucleotide Primers; Primers, Oligonucleotide

Kinetic studies of HPr, HPr(H15D), HPr(H15E), and HPr(His approximately P) phosphorylation by the Streptococcus salivarius HPr(Ser) kinase/phosphorylase.

15 Nov 2009 HPr is a central protein of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase transport system (PTS). In streptococci, HPr can be phosphorylated at His(15) at the expense of PEP by enzyme I (EI) of the PTS, producing HPr(His approximately P). HPr can ... Read more...


Toward understanding the function of the universally conserved GTPase HflX from Escherichia coli: a kinetic approach.

15 Nov 2009 Protein synthesis is a highly conserved process in all living cells involving several members of the translation factor (TRAFAC) class of P-loop GTPases, which play essential roles during translation. The universally conserved GTPase HflX has ... Read more...


Direct interaction between anthrax toxin receptor 1 and the actin cytoskeleton.

8 Nov 2009 The protective antigen component of anthrax toxin binds the I domain of the anthrax toxin receptors, ANTXR1 and ANTXR2, in a manner akin to how integrins bind their ligands. The I domains of integrins and ANTXR1 both have high- and low-affinity ... Read more...
