Implication
Randomized trial demonstrates trehalose enhances enzyme activity in thermophilic bacteria, suggesting improved cDNA synthesis.
Key Points
- This research aims to explore how trehalose can stabilize and activate thermolabile enzymes for better cDNA synthesis.
- Demonstrated enzyme activity retention and increase in temperature using trehalose.
- Improved reverse transcriptase reaction was analyzed at elevated temperatures.
- Thermoactivated reverse transcriptase maintained full activity at 60 degrees C.
- Synthesis of full-length cDNA successfully occurred without early termination from mRNA secondary structures.
