TALENs are a chimera of transcription activator-like effectors(TALEs) and restriction enzymes, predominantly Fok1 nuclease. The TALE proteins act as programmable DNA search engines while the Fok1 are the molecular scissors cutting the DNA target site. 4, record 1, English, - transcription%20activator%2Dlike%20effector%20nuclease

Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) are restriction enzymes that bind to DNA based on its specificity and can be tailored to cut sequences of DNA. They are made by combining TAL [transcription activator-like] binding domains, which allows entry into a cell, and a DNA cleavage domain, which is helpful in gene editing. These can be tailored to bind to any targeted area in the genome to cut any desired specific location. 5, record 1, English, - transcription%20activator%2Dlike%20effector%20nuclease

Guide RNAs (gRNAs) are tiny RNA [ribonucleic acid] transcripts that guide the editing machinery through base-pairing with the mRNAs [messenger ribonucleic acids] in edited regions. gRNAs are complementary to small segments of the fully edited mRNAs, and thus serve as mini-templates to guide the addition and deletion of Us from the pre-edited mRNA as they form a locally double-stranded RNA helix. 4, record 4, English, - guide%20ribonucleic%20acid

No one studying molecular biology can escape the impact that the CRISPR/Cas9 system has had on the field. In its natural environment, it functions as an adaptive bacterial immune system that can remember past viral infections. However, it is mainly known and popular as a highly versatile and precise tool for gene editing.... At the heart of the system is Cas9, a programmable and sequence‐specific endonuclease that introduces double‐strand breaks into DNA, which can be exploited to modify the DNA sequence in many different ways. The Cas9 cleavage site is determined by a small RNA molecule, termed guide RNA(gRNA), that base pairs with the target DNA and at the same time binds to Cas9 to initiate the site‐specific double‐strand break... 5, record 4, English, - guide%20ribonucleic%20acid

Proximal convoluted tubule diuretics. The proximal convoluted tubule is the primary site for NA+ [sodium ion] reabsorption and seems a likely site for effective diuretic action. However, the number of downstream reabsorption sites limits the effectiveness of any diuretic targeting this region. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are the only commonly used diuretics that particularly target this region although they are rarely used primarily as diuretics. They work by blocking the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which acts to help reabsorb bicarbonate in the proximal tubule. 2, record 6, English, - proximal%20diuretic

En chimie, l'encapsulation consiste à enfermer une substance dans une capsule. L'objectif est : - soit de protéger la substance contre des interactions avec le milieu extérieur. On encapsule par exemple certains filtres [ultraviolets] UV contenus dans les crèmes solaires pour les stabiliser et les empêcher d'irriter la peau; - soit de transporter la substance jusqu'à l'endroit où elle sera libérée pour agir. Les liposomes par exemple sont des sphères utilisées pour transporter les substances actives des cosmétiques dans la peau. Selon la taille des capsules, on parle de microencapsulation (dimension de l'ordre du micromètre) ou de nanoencapsulation (dimension de l'ordre du nanomètre). 2, record 12, French, - nanoencapsulation

The new design methods will also radically change the handling of drawings. All the information required can be collected from the data base. As information is stored in one place only and is automatically transferred without manual intervention, it is possible to achieve the target of zero errors. The "scale-less site" has changed the site structure and procedures so that they fit into an efficient design process. 3-D design permits the correct amounts of building materials to be delivered in the exact form to the site or site factory for efficient assembly. We have obtained an industrialised process that is characterised by : Better working conditions; Ecological building; Functionally correct buildings; Quality; Radically shorter design times; Lower costs. 1, record 13, English, - site%20factory
