The distance distribution between complementary base pairs of the two strands of a DNA molecule is studied near the melting transition. Scaling arguments are presented for a generalized Poland-Scheraga-type model that includes self-avoiding interactions. At the transition temperature and for a large distance r, the distribution decays as 1/r(kappa) with kappa=1+(c-2)/nu. Here nu is the self-avo...

Two procedures for easily isolating deletions that fuse the trp and lac operons are described. Using these procedures, a large number of fusion deletions have been isolated. The 1a.c ends of these deletions extend varying distances into the &I gene and the Z&c promoter-operator region. Therefore, contrary to a previous report, there does not appear to be a messenger-termination signal at the Ct...

A comparative study of 36 molecular descriptors derived from the topological distance matrix and van der Waals space is carried out within this paper. They are partitioned into 16 generalized topological distance matrix indices, 11 topological distance indices known in the literature (seven obtained from eigenvalues/eigenvectors of distance matrix), and 9 van der Waals molecular descriptors. Th...

The Gilbert-Varshamov (GV) lower bound on the maximum cardinality of a q-ary code of length n with minimum Hamming distance at least d can be obtained by application of Turán’s theorem to the graph with vertex set {0, 1, . . . , q − 1}n in which two vertices are joined if and only if their Hamming distance is at least d. We generalize the GV bound by applying Turán’s theorem to the graph with v...

we investigate some properties of approximately quasi inner generalized dynamics and quasi approximately inner generalized derivations on modules. in particular, we prove that if a is a c*-algebra, is the generator of a generalized dynamics on an a-bimodule m satisfying and there exist two sequences of self adjoint elements in a such that for all in a core for , , then is approximately quasi in...
