Debris from Total Hip Replacement or Hip Resurfacing Procedures. After total hip replacement or hip resurfacing, particle debris from the cup, ball or ball covering can lead to complications and implant failure. As the implant recipient moves, the surfaces of the components rub against each other. The friction and abrasive wear between the components produces debris.
Reverse transcriptase is the viral enzyme responsible for making a DNA copy of the RNA genome from a retrovirus. As such, it is technically known as an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase. This is opposite to the usual flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to protein.
An enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of an RNA strand from a DNA template. The enzyme that polymerizes RNA by using DNA as a template. It can also act as a primase initiating DNA replication. (Also known as transcriptase or RNA transcriptase).
