In vitro synthesis of a number of E. coli 30S ribosomal proteins has been demonstrated in a cell-free system consisting of ribosomes, initiation factors, RNA polymerase, a fraction containing soluble enzymes and factors, and E. coli DNA. DNA-dependent synthesis of the following 30S proteins has been demonstrated: S4, S5, S7, S8, S9, S10, S13, S14, S16, S19, and S20.

Javad Afsar was born in 1988 in Hamedan, Iran. He obtained his B.Sc. (2011) and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (2013) from Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran. Currently, he is working towards his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Mohammad Ali Zolfigol and Prof. Ardashir Khazaei at the same university. His research involves design, Synthesis and applications of new catalyst in organic synthesis.

The Arabidopsis thaliana genome has over 550 protease sequences representing all five catalytic types: serine, cysteine, aspartic acid, metallo and threonine (MEROPS peptidase database, http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/), which probably reflect a wide variety of as yet unidentified functions performed by plant proteases. Recent indications that the 26S proteasome, a T1 family-threonine protease, is a...

Two neutral hexanuclear trigonal prismatic cage molecules have been synthesized by coupling two planar triangular M3pz3-panels, M = Cu(I) and Ag(I), in eclipsed geometry. The ~230 Å(3) cage volume can be either vacant or occupied by neutral guests. The crystal structures of the M6-cyclohexane and Ag6-S8 host-guest species have been determined.

A thiacalix[4]arene derivative bearing four carbamoylmethylphosphineoxide groups at the wide rim forms hydrogen-bonded, dimeric capsules with S8 symmetry in the crystalline state and in apolar solvents, where the inclusion of cationic guests could be proved by 1H NMR and ESI mass spectra.
