DEFINITION

Classification: 536/24.5

Nucleic acid expression inhibitors:

(under subclass 23.1) Fragments of DNA or RNA which are effective inhibitors of transcription or translation.

(1) Note. Transcription is the process by which the genetic information contained in a fragment of DNA specifies the complementary sequence of bases in an RNA chain.

(2) Note. Translation is the process by which the genetic information contained in a fragment of RNA directs or specifies the sequence of amino acids in polypeptide synthesis.
