1. Retrotransposons use reverse transcriptase to generate a cDNA from the TE transcript. 2. So far these drugs seem less toxic than the reverse transcriptase blockers. 3. They interfere with reverse transcriptase , an enzyme the virus needs to replicate. 4. Ziagen belongs to a class of drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. 5. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that lengthens the ends of linear chromosomes. 6. This cocktail of medications includes compounds called reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors. 7. Viral proteins involved in early stages of replication include reverse transcriptase and integrase. 8. Since zalcitabine is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor it possesses activity only against retroviruses. 9. The discovery of reverse transcriptase , made contemporaneously with Howard Temin and Renato Dulbecco. 10. Reverse transcriptase is an enzyme that retroviruses, including HIV, utilize to replicate themselves.
