Bovine aortic endothelial cell (BAEC) attachments to laminin, fibronectin, and fibrinogen are inhibited by soluble arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-containing peptides, and YGRGDSP activity is responsive to titration of either soluble peptide or matrix protein. To assess the presence of RGD-dependent receptors, immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting studies were conducted and demonstrated integ...

Synthesis of sequence-defined oligourethanes (i.e., writing) followed by chemical self-immolation can yield mass fragments detectable standard liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) instruments reading). Expanding beyond the traditional binary approach chemically distinct monomers as 1s and 0s, in a recent issue Cell Reports Physical Science, Anslyn co-workers introduce hexadecimal enc...

Phospholipase A2 (Apis mellifera 1 [Api m 1]), the major bee venom allergen, is a glycoprotein that can bind IgE antibodies of patients with allergy via protein and/or carbohydrate epitopes.1Mittermann I.

In eukaryotes, various alternative translation initiation mechanisms have been unveiled for the of specific mRNAs. Some do not conform to conventional scanning-initiation model. Translation histone H4 mRNA combines both canonical (cap-dependent) and viral strategies (no-scanning, internal recruitment factors). Specific structures tether machinery directly onto codon allow massive production dur...

Searle (1989) posits a set of adequacy criteria for any account of the meaning and use of performative verbs, such as order or promise. Central among them are: (a) performative utterances are performances of the act named by the performative verb; (b) performative utterances are self-verifying; (c) performative utterances achieve (a) and (b) in virtue of their literal meaning. He then argues th...
