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.
Reverse transcriptase enzymes include an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase, which work together to perform transcription. In addition to the transcription function, retroviral reverse transcriptases have a domain belonging to the RNase H family which is vital to their replication.
