Why is poly dT an effective primer for reverse transcriptase? You are give a cDNA library of squash genes prepared in a bacterial plasmid vector. You are also given the cloned yeast gene that encodes EF-1α, a protein that is highly conserved in protein sequence among eukaryotes.

Why is poly-dT an effective primer for reverse transcriptase? ... When making cDNA, the single-stranded DNA produced by reverse transcriptase can be made double stranded by treatment with DNA polymerase I. However, no primer is required with the DNA polymerase. Why is this?

Five classic DNA minor groove-binding drugs and a series of bis-linked lexitropsins based on netropsin and distamycin have been screened for their effectiveness in inhibiting transcription by HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) on a poly(rA).oligo(dT) template-primer (TP). The two most effective drugs, 3,5 m-pyridyl-link...

A comparison of physicochemical properties of the hybrids poly(A)-poly(dT) and dinitrophenyl-poly(A)-poly(dT) shows that the hydrophobic dinitrophenyl groups stabilize double helical structures. These inhibitors were also found to be effective in keeping susceptible lymphocytes viable in the presence of HIV-1 (wild type).
