nucleosides

The only way HIV's reverse transcriptase enzyme can manufacture DNA is by gathering up chemical units called nucleosides and matching them to the pattern on the viral RNA.

He was interested in synthesizing furanosyl nucleosides (purines and pyrimidines linked to six carbon sugars with five member rings) as potential antitumor drugs.

Martin Chalfie - Autobiography 2009

Lets begin by making a media with the following ingredients: amino acids, glucose, vitamins, nucleosides, salts and citrate.

A Tetrahymena Puzzle 2008

I had to work out the determination of the independent specific activities of the sugars and bases which I did by treating the nucleosides with nucleoside phosphorylase and hypoxanthine to exchange for the base to be analyzed.

Irwin Rose - Autobiography 2005

We conclude that despite significant recent progress, the direct synthesis of the nucleosides and nucleotides from prebiotic precursors in reasonable yield and unaccompanied by large amounts of related molecules could not be achieved by presently known chemical reactions.

Researchers at Harvard have built a library of genetic information on kinases - enzymes associated with "proteins, lipids, sugars, nucleosides, and other cellular components."

The Speculist: New Path to Cancer Drugs Opened 2005

As of 2004, the four main classes of antiretrovirals are nucleosides (nukes), non-nucleosides (non-nukes), protease inhibitors, and fusion inhibitors.

Researchers at Harvard have built a library of genetic information on kinases - enzymes associated with "proteins, lipids, sugars, nucleosides, and other cellular components."

The Speculist: May 2005 Archives 2005

The virus mistakes the drug components for natural nucleosides and subsequently incorporates them into the synthesis of viral DNA.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact 2004

The enzyme would degrade any triphosphates present down to nucleosides which would not interfere with the main reaction, but then I would need to
