*PCR | *PCR -- a technique for amplifying DNA of known or unknown sequence. The reactions require only 4 components: DNA to be amplified, oligonucleotide primers to bind sequences flanking the target, dNTPs to polymerize into new DNA chains, and a heat stable polymerase in a buffered solution to carry out the synthesis reaction | ||

*Ribosome Binding Site | *Ribosome Binding Site -- the sequence of RNA to which ribosome binds for initiation of translation | ||
*Standardization | *Standardization -- | ||
*Transcriptional Terminator | *Translation -- the reaction that converts RNA-templated information to protein. This reaction is catalyzed by ribosomes | ||
*Transcription -- the reaction that converts of DNA-templated information to RNA. This reaction is catalyzed by one of several RNA polymerases | |||
*Transcriptional Terminator -- a sequence of DNA that signals the RNA polymerase to cease the synthesis of RNA. Terminator sequences are often inverted repeats in the DNA that fold into stem-loop structures, leading the RNA polymerase to pause and leave the DNA it is transcribing | |||
