Transcriptive templating

Transcription Template DNA-directed synthesis of nucleic acids typically DNA-directed synthesis of RNA. 

The following methods explain (a) cloning of the desired ORF into the pEU expression system and preparation of transcription template DNA by PCR for mRNA preparation, (b) generation of transcription template DNA directly from E. coli cells containing cDNA, (c) preparation of mRNA using transcription template DNA, and (d) translation of prepared mRNA either in batch mode, bilayer system, or by the CFCF method.

The principal motivation for studying these sugar-based microemulsion glasses came from the observation that water-oil-surfactant mixtures are extensively for nanomaterials synthesis with the central idea of switching dynamic self-assembly into chemically and mechanically stable supramolecular materials. Template polymerisations are classified as synergistic or transcriptive templating depending on whether the template itself participates in the reaction. 

Transcriptive templating of self-assembled structures is complicated by the contradictory demands of a template that self-assembles to form over a reasonable period of time and yet robust enough to retain its structure over the course of polymerisation. The thermodynamic forces faced by these templates are complex and practically unavoidable...

Cellular protein biosynthesis involves the following steps. One strand of double-stranded DNA serves as a template strand for the synthesis of a complementary single-stranded messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in a process called transcription. This mRNA in turn serves as a template to direct the synthesis of the protein in a process called translation. The codons of the mRNA are read sequentially by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which bind specifically to the mRNA via triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to the particular codon, called an anticodon. Protein synthesis occurs on a ribosome, a complex consisting of more than 50 different proteins and several stmctural RNA molecules, which moves along the mRNA and mediates the binding of the tRNA molecules and the formation of the nascent peptide chain. The tRNA molecule carries an activated form of the specific amino acid to the ribosome where it is added to the end of the growing peptide chain. There is at least one tRNA for each amino acid. 

Section 28.11 Three RNAs are involved in gene expression. In the transcription phase, a strand of messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a DNA template. The four bases A, G, C, and U, taken three at a time, generate 64 possible combinations called codons. These 64 codons comprise the genetic code and code for the 20 anino acids found in proteins plus start and stop signals. The mRNA sequence is translated into a prescribed protein sequence at the ribosomes. There, small polynucleotides called...

Unlike what happens in DNA replication, where both strands are copied, only one of the two DNA strands is transcribed into mRNA. The strand that contains the gene is often called the coding strand, or primer strand, and the strand that gets transcribed is called the template strand. Because the template strand and the coding strand are complementary, and because the template strand and the transcribed RNA are also complementary, the RNA )no ecule produced during transcription is a copy of the DNA coding strand. The only difference is that the RNA molecule has a U everywhere the DNA coding strand has a T.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is the intermediate template between DNA and proteins. The information from a particular gene is transferred from a strand of DNA by the construction of a complementary strand of RNA through a process known as transcription. The amount of any particular type of mRNA in a cell reflects the extent to which a gene has been expressed .
