degenerate primers
1degenerate primer — A single stranded synthetic oligonucleotide designed to hybridize to DNA encoding a particular protein sequence. As the mapping of codons to amino acids is many to one, the oligonucleotide must be made as a mixture with several different bases at …
2Primer (molecular biology) — A primer is a strand of nucleic acid that serves as a starting point for DNA synthesis. They are required for DNA replication because the enzymes that catalyze this process, DNA polymerases, can only add new nucleotides to an existing strand of… …
3Variants of PCR — This page assumes familiarity with the terms and components used in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) process. The versatility of PCR has led to a large number of variants: Contents 1 Basic modifications 2 Pretreatments and extensions 3 Other… …

7Nucleic acid analogues — Not to be confused with degenerate bases. For phosphoramidite synthesis of nucleic acids, see Oligonucleotide synthesis. RNA with its nucleobases to the left and DNA to the right. Nucleic acid analogues are compounds structurally similar (analog) …
8inosine — The fifth base of nucleic acids. Important because it fails to form specific pair bonds with the other bases. In transfer RNAs, this property is used in the anticodon to allow matching of a single tRNA to several codons. PCR performed with… …
9Transglutaminase — La transglutaminase est une enzyme (EC 2.3.2.13) qui catalyse la formation de liaisons covalentes entre des groupements amines libres (ex. : lysines) et le groupement gamma carboxamide des glutamines. Les liaisons formées par la… …
10Transglutaminase — Transglutaminases are a family of enzymes (EC 2.3.2.13) that catalyze the formation of a covalent bond between a free amine group (e.g., protein or peptide bound lysine) and the gamma carboxamid group of protein or peptide bound glutamine. Bonds… …
