transcriptase

Converse of object

• call: This is achieved by a compound essential to the virus, called reverse transcriptase.
• inhibit: Nucleoside analogs such as AZT, nucleotide analogs such as tenofovir and NNRTIs such as nevirapine, inhibit reverse transcriptase.

Adjective modifier

• reverse: Reverse transcriptase is an important enzyme used in making new virus.
• hiv-1: Collaboration with the group of Dr. David Stammers continues to address the structure of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase.

Modifies a noun

• polymerase: Expression levels for receptors and ligands were assessed by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis.
• inhibitor: The most common antiviral drugs for HIV are reverse transcriptase inhibitors.
• enzyme: Both drugs act by terminating the growth of the DNA chain and inhibiting the reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV.
• reaction: Expression levels for receptors and ligands were assessed by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis.
• chain: Expression levels for receptors and ligands were assessed by semiquantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis.
• activity: Clinical trials show the extract also inhibits the flu virus, and lab research indicates the whole plant extract has reverse transcriptase inhibitor activity.

Noun used with modifier

• nucleoside: This medicine contains the active ingredient emtricitabine, which is a type of medicine called a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
• nucleotide: Tenofovir is a very closely related medicine, called a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor.
• enzyme: DNA can still be made from RNA today by the enzyme reverse transcriptase found in many viruses.
