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.
proteolytic enzyme one that catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and various split products of proteins, the final product being small peptides and amino acids. repressible enzyme one whose rate of production is decreased as the concentration of certain metabolites is increased. respiratory e's enzymes of the mitochondria, e.g., cytochrome oxidase, which serve as catalysts for cellular oxidations.
