Abstract
1:CAS:528:DyaK1MXhtV2htbY%3D. 10.1006/jmbi.1998.2430 17 Laquel P, Sallafranque-Andreola ML, Tarrago-Litak L, Castroviejo M, Litvak S. Wheat embryo DNA polymerase A reverse transcribes natural and synthetic RNA templates. Investigating plant DNA polymerases and the viral reverse transcriptase Soon after the discovery of reverse transcriptase in 1970, in 1975, Simon set up a research program on the plant DNA POLYMERASES [[6]-[8]] and on the famous retroviral DNA POLYMERASE, later called Reverse Transcriptase (RT) of avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) [[9]-[12]] and the human immunodeficiency virus HIV [[13]-[16]]. A talented Chilean-French biochemist, mentor to many brilliant students, with a unique scientific character, a friend who developed a strong collaborative research and teaching program between Chile and France. Studies on RNA editing in wheat germ mitochondria and HIV RNA editing is a biochemical process whereby some residues of an RNA sequence can be deaminated, giving rise to a C to U transition.
