Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system for studying drug induced mitochondrial toxicity [PDF]
Today HIV-1 infection is recognized as a chronic disease with obligatory lifelong treatment to keep viral titers below detectable levels. The continuous intake of antiretroviral drugs however, leads to severe and even life-threatening side effects ...

Three DNA polymerases, recruited by different mechanisms, carry out NER repair synthesis in human cells [PDF]
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the most versatile DNA repair system that deals with the major UV photoproducts in DNA, as well as many other DNA adducts.

RNA amplification for successful gene profiling analysis
The study of clinical samples is often limited by the amount of material available to study. While proteins cannot be multiplied in their natural form, DNA and RNA can be amplified from small specimens and used for high-throughput analyses.

Production of positive controls for calcivirus-specific PCR using recombinant baculiovirus technology [PDF]
Recent advances in our knowledge of the genetic structure of human caliciviruses (HuCVs) and small round-structured viruses (SRSVs) have led to the development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular tests specific for these viruses.

Investigation of polymorphisms in the genome of Dengue virus - DOI: 10.3395/reciis.v1i2.Sup.102en
In the present study, we investigated the nucleotide polymorphisms among the four genotypes of the Dengue virus - DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4 - by qualitative and quantitative characterization.

Survival of RNA Replicators Is Much Easier in Protocells Than in Surface-Based, Spatial Systems
In RNA-World scenarios for the origin of life, replication is catalyzed by polymerase ribozymes. Replicating RNA systems are subject to invasion by non-functional parasitic strands. It is well-known that there are two ways to avoid the destruction of the

Polyprotein Processing as a Determinant for in Vitro Activity of Semliki Forest Virus Replicase
Semliki Forest virus (SFV) is an arthropod-borne alphavirus that induces membrane invaginations (spherules) in host cells. These harbor the viral replication complexes (RC) that synthesize viral RNA.
