Antisense
A piece of nucleic acid, typically created in the lab, which has a sequence exactly opposite to an mRNA molecule made by the body. mRNA molecules made by the body serve as templates for the synthesis of protein (see transcription). Since the "antisense" mRNA molecule binds tightly to its mirror image, it can prevent a particular protein from being made.
