“Bill Studier’s development of T7 phage RNA polymerase for use in preparing RNA templates for multiple uses in research labs worldwide has been a truly revolutionary technical advance for the entire field of molecular biology,” said Joan Steitz, the Sterling Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University.

doi: 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/goodsell-gallery-048 The Virus that Cures It’s been over 25 years since the science magazine Discover first ran an extraordinary article about how a long-forgotten medical treatment, used in the former Soviet country of Georgia, could save us from the growing threat of untreatable, drug-resistant infections.

.” The explanation continues, and here’s where it ceases to make sense, to anyone who knows anything about DNA, genes, and genomes. TMV is a common pathogen used in early molecular biology research. A plant genome consists of DNA, and NOT pieces of 2,4-D, which is a completely unrelated organic acid.

Phage have been of interest to scientists as tools to understand fundamental molecular biology, as vectors of horizontal gene transfer and drivers of bacterial evolution, as sources of diagnostic and genetic tools, and as novel therapeutic agents. Its presence elsewhere would indicate something is wrong.

STING is primarily on the lookout for DNA, which can indicate either a foreign invader such as a virus or damage to the host tissue or cell. Once it detects DNA, it relocates to the Golgi body, where it begins to activate proteins that turn on genes required for interferon production. Paper Cited Liu B, Carlson R, et al.

However, they plod along as they clone plasmids—the loops of DNA that biologists use to manipulate and study organisms—because propagating them relies, in part, on the pace at which cells grow and divide. Most medicines, including insulin and semaglutide (the weight loss drug), are made using DNA cloning. However, E.
