The nitric oxide/cyclic GMP pathway in organ transplantation: critical role in successful lung preservation.

abstract：:The RNA-directed DNA polymerase (deoxynucleosidetriphosphate:DNA deoxynucleotidyltransferase EC 2.7.7.7) of avian oncornavirus requires a tryptophan tRNA (tRNATrp) primer molecule located close to the 5' end of the viral RNA genome for the initiation of DNA synthesis in vitro. In this communication we demonstrate that...
