Difference between RNA polymerase and Reverse transcriptase

RNA polymerase vs. Reverse transcriptase

RNA polymerase (ribonucleic acid polymerase), both abbreviated RNAP or RNApol, official name DNA-directed RNA polymerase, is a member of a family of enzymes that are essential to life: they are found in all organisms (-species) and many viruses. A reverse transcriptase (RT) is an enzyme used to generate complementary DNA (cDNA) from an RNA template, a process termed reverse transcription.

Similarities between RNA polymerase and Reverse transcriptase

RNA polymerase and Reverse transcriptase have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cytosol, DNA, DNA polymerase, Enzyme, Eukaryote, Messenger RNA, Nucleotide, Reverse transcriptase, RNA, Transfer RNA, Unified atomic mass unit.

Cytosol

The cytosol, also known as intracellular fluid (ICF) or cytoplasmic matrix, is the liquid found inside cells.

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

Messenger RNA

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression.

Nucleotide

Nucleotides are organic molecules that serve as the monomer units for forming the nucleic acid polymers deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth.

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

Transfer RNA

A transfer RNA (abbreviated tRNA and formerly referred to as sRNA, for soluble RNA) is an adaptor molecule composed of RNA, typically 76 to 90 nucleotides in length, that serves as the physical link between the mRNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.

RNA polymerase and Reverse transcriptase Comparison

RNA polymerase has 80 relations, while Reverse transcriptase has 70. As they have in common 11, the Jaccard index is 7.33% = 11 / (80 + 70).
