Open AccessA diachronic perspective on citation latency in Wikipedia articles on CRISPR/Cas-9: an exploratory case study
This paper analyzes Wikipedia’s representation of the Nobel Prize winning CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a method for gene editing. We propose and evaluate different heuristics to match publications from several publ...

Assessing the effects of the German Excellence Initiative with bibliometric methods
The German Excellence Initiative started in 2006 as a public funding program of crucial importance for German universities. Since this time, several studies on different aspects of the program have been conduc...

Hexameric assembly of the proteasomal ATPases is templated through their C termini
The proteasome is a large proteolytic machine that degrades ubiquitin-tagged proteins. Substrates are recognized and unfolded by the regulatory particle (RP) and translocated into a central proteolytic chamber...

The HEAT repeat protein Blm10 regulates the yeast proteasome by cap** the core particle
Proteasome activity is fine-tuned by associating the proteolytic core particle (CP) with stimulatory and inhibitory complexes. Although several mammalian regulatory complexes are known, knowledge of yeast prot...

The Evolution of Gymnosperms Redrawn by Phytochrome Genes: The Gnetatae Appear at the Base of the Gymnosperms
Gymnosperms possess two to four phytochrome types which apparently are the result of successive gene duplications in the genomes of their common ancestors. Phytochromes are nuclear-encoded proteins whose gene...

The base of the proteasome regulatory particle exhibits chaperone-like activity
Protein substrates of the proteasome must apparently be unfolded and translocated through a narrow channel to gain access to the proteolytic active sites of the enzyme. Protein folding in vivo is mediated by mole...

Structure and structure formation of the 20S proteasome
Eukaryotic 20S proteasomes are complex oligomeric proteins. The maturation process of the 14 different α- and β-subunits has to occur in a highly coordinate manner. In addition β-subunits are synthesized as pr...

Absorption Spectrum of Vitamin E
IN previous letters to NATURE1,2 Bowden and Moore described experiments on the absorption spectrum of the unsaponifiable fraction of wheat–germ oil, which were carried out with the view of deciding whether vitami...
