Examples of "rnase" in Sentences

RNase merely accelerates the approach to equilibrium.
Recent findings also reveal that RNase P has a new function.
RNase L is present in very minute quantities during the normal cell cycle.
The positive charges of RNase A lie mainly in a deep cleft between two lobes.
However, functional roles for mammalian RNase III have yet to be fully defined.
RNase A was the first protein to be studied by multiple sequence alignment and by comparing the properties of evolutionarily related proteins.
Determination of the mouse ribonuclease III cDNA sequence Several avenues were followed to obtain the complete cDNA sequence for mouse RNase III.
A previous study used RNase protection assay and Western blotting to demonstrate an increase in Fas expression in kidney cortex of hypertensive S rats.
Further biochemical studies are required to identify the RNA targets for mammalian RNase III and to determine its involvement in RNA maturation pathways.
These observations strongly suggest that results for significantly altered genes should be confirmed with other traditional techniques such as Northern blots or RNase protection assays prior to reporting the fold increase.
