Adenosine
Adenosine (symbol A) is an organic compound that occurs widely in nature in the form of diverse derivatives.
See Microviridae and Adenosine
Amino acid
Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.
See Microviridae and Amino acid
Ancient Greek
Ancient Greek (Ἑλληνῐκή) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC.
See Microviridae and Ancient Greek
Bacteriophage
A bacteriophage, also known informally as a phage, is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea. Microviridae and bacteriophage are bacteriophages.
See Microviridae and Bacteriophage
Bacteroidales
Bacteroidales is an order of bacteria.
See Microviridae and Bacteroidales
Bdellomicrovirus
Bdellomicrovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Microviridae, in the subfamily Gokushovirinae.
See Microviridae and Bdellomicrovirus
Bullavirinae
Bullavirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the family Microviridae.
See Microviridae and Bullavirinae
Capsid
A capsid is the protein shell of a virus, enclosing its genetic material.
Chlamydiamicrovirus
Chlamydiamicrovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Microviridae, in the subfamily Gokushovirinae.
See Microviridae and Chlamydiamicrovirus
Clade
In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.
Coliphage
A coliphage is a type of bacteriophage that infects coliform bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Microviridae and coliphage are bacteriophages.
See Microviridae and Coliphage
DNA polymerase
A DNA polymerase is a member of a family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA molecules from nucleoside triphosphates, the molecular precursors of DNA.
See Microviridae and DNA polymerase
Endonuclease
In molecular biology, endonucleases are enzymes that cleave the phosphodiester bond within a polynucleotide chain (namely DNA or RNA).
See Microviridae and Endonuclease
Enterobacteriaceae
Enterobacteriaceae is a large family of Gram-negative bacteria.
See Microviridae and Enterobacteriaceae
Gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings.
Gokushovirinae
Gokushovirinae is a subfamily of viruses in the family Microviridae.
See Microviridae and Gokushovirinae
Guanine
Guanine (symbol G or Gua) is one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, the others being adenine, cytosine, and thymine (uracil in RNA).
Japan
Japan is an island country in East Asia, located in the Pacific Ocean off the northeast coast of the Asian mainland.
Journal of Virology
The Journal of Virology is a biweekly peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers research concerning all aspects of virology.
See Microviridae and Journal of Virology
Lysis
Lysis is the breaking down of the membrane of a cell, often by viral, enzymic, or osmotic (that is, "lytic") mechanisms that compromise its integrity.
Nanometre
molecular scale. The nanometre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: nm), or nanometer (American spelling), is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one billionth (short scale) of a meter (0.000000001 m) and to 1000 picometres.
See Microviridae and Nanometre
Occitan language
Occitan (occitan), also known as (langue d'oc) by its native speakers, sometimes also referred to as Provençal, is a Romance language spoken in Southern France, Monaco, Italy's Occitan Valleys, as well as Spain's Val d'Aran in Catalonia; collectively, these regions are sometimes referred to as Occitania.
See Microviridae and Occitan language
Peptidoglycan
Peptidoglycan or murein is a unique large macromolecule, a polysaccharide, consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer (sacculus) that surrounds the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
See Microviridae and Peptidoglycan
Phi X 174
The phi X 174 (or ΦX174) bacteriophage is a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) virus that infects Escherichia coli. Microviridae and phi X 174 are bacteriophages.
See Microviridae and Phi X 174
Prophage
A prophage is a bacteriophage (often shortened to "phage") genome that is integrated into the circular bacterial chromosome or exists as an extrachromosomal plasmid within the bacterial cell. Microviridae and prophage are bacteriophages.
Rab escort protein 1
Rab escort protein 1 (REP1) also known as rab proteins geranylgeranyltransferase component A 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CHM gene.
See Microviridae and Rab escort protein 1
RNA polymerase
In molecular biology, RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol), or more specifically DNA-directed/dependent RNA polymerase (DdRP), is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions that synthesize RNA from a DNA template.
See Microviridae and RNA polymerase
Spike protein
In virology, a spike protein or peplomer protein is a protein that forms a large structure known as a spike or peplomer projecting from the surface of an enveloped virus.
See Microviridae and Spike protein
Spiromicrovirus
Spiromicrovirus is a genus of viruses, in the family Microviridae, in the subfamily Gokushovirinae.
See Microviridae and Spiromicrovirus
Spiroplasma
Spiroplasma is a genus of Mollicutes, a group of small bacteria without cell walls.
See Microviridae and Spiroplasma
Translocase
Translocase is a general term for a protein that assists in moving another molecule, usually across a cell membrane.
See Microviridae and Translocase
