Antisense technology is based on stopping the production of a protein.
In order for a protein to be formed, the mRNA has to be translated (read by the ribosomes). The happens in the cytoplasm.
There are stretches of nucleic acid bases called cDNA that are complimentary to specific mRNA sequences. These cDNA molecules can bind to the mRNA molecules and inactivate them. When mRNA is inactivated, it cannot be translated into a protein and a protein will not be formed.
Since every protein is made by a certain mRNA, by inactivating the mRNA using cDNA molecules, the production of the protein can be stopped. This process is called mRNA silencing or antisense technology
What else can I help you with?
What is an antisense?
An antisense is a molecule which interacts with a complementary strand of nucleic acids, so as to suppress its transcription.
What is the identical copy of DNA?
antisense mRNA
Why template strand also called antisense?
The template strand is also referred to as the antisense strand because its sequence is complementary to the mRNA transcript that is eventually produced during transcription. While the mRNA transcript is in the sense orientation with codons that can be translated into proteins, the template strand is read in the antisense orientation to ensure accurate base pairing during transcription.
What molecule helps code the DNA?
lets take this section of DNA ATAGCCATA DNA polymerase codes for the antisense (not mirror) strand. this would be TATCGGTAT
What's the difference btw siRNA and antisense RNA?
siRNA refers to a small interfering RNA or sometimes known as short interfering RNA or silencing RNA. It a class of double-stranded RNA molecules, 20-25 nucleotides in length, that play a variety of roles in biology. The most notable role of siRNA is its involvement in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, where it interferes with the expression of a specific gene.whereas Antisense RNA is a single-stranded RNA that is complementary to a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand transcribed within a cell.
What is the antonym of express?
antisense technology or degradation
What is the antonym of excess?
deficiency, lack, insufficiency, need, dearth
What has the author Stanley T Crooke written?
Stanley T. Crooke has written: 'Therapeutic applications of oligonucleotides' -- subject(s): Therapeutic use, Oligonucleotides 'Antisense Research and Application' 'Antisense Drug Technology'
What impact did Antisense technology have on cells?
Antisense technology can impact cells by interfering with the expression of specific genes, leading to reduced protein production and altered cellular functions. It can be used to selectively inhibit the expression of disease-causing genes, making it a potential tool for therapeutic interventions in various diseases. Additionally, antisense technology can help in understanding the role of specific genes in cellular processes.

What are copied from DNA?
antisense
What is the identical copy of DNA?
antisense mRNA
