Biosynthesis and function of 1-methyladenosine in transfer RNA
Determining the function of single nucleotide modifications in tRNA has been elusive because so many tRNA modification enzymes are not essential for... -
Transfer RNA modifications and modifying enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Transfer RNAs are adaptor molecules, which decode mRNA into protein and, thereby, play a central role in gene expression. During the maturation of a... -
Phosphinidenes
Of the low-valent organophosphorus compounds phosphinidenes occupy a special place. In ‘free’ phosphinidenes the phosphorus atom carries a single... -
On the Prebiotic Synthesis of Nucleobases, Nucleotides, Oligonucleotides, Pre-RNA and Pre-DNA Molecules
All the strategies for the prebiotic syntheses of RNA and DNA assume the adequate availability of the presumptive precursors such as purine and... -
Checkpoint and Coordinated Cellular Responses to DNA Damage
The DNA damage and replication checkpoints are signaling mechanisms that regulate and coordinate cellular responses to genotoxic conditions. The... -
Systems biology of apoptosis
New approaches are required for the mathematical modelling and system identification of complex signal transduction networks, which are characterized... -
Molecular Components of Physiological Stress Responses in Escherichia coli
In order to survive under and adapt to different conditions Escherichia coli has evolved elaborate systems that are able to sense and respond to... -
Application of Knowledge Information Processing Methods to Biochemical Engineering, Biomedical and Bioinformatics Fields
In biochemical and biomedical engineering fields there are a variety of phenomena with many complex chemical reactions, in which many genes and... -
Polarons and Transport in DNA
It has been widely considered that the wavefunction of an extra electron or hole on the base stack of a DNA molecule is confined to a single site,... -
Crystallographic Studies of Native and Mutant Orotidine 5′phosphate Decarboxylases
This review aims to use the results of an approach combining crystallographic structure analysis with mutational studies as a framework for the... -
Electrophoretic mobility of colloidal particles in salt-free media
It is shown that the electrophoretic mobility μ of dilute spherical colloidal particles of radius a, carrying charge Q in a salt-free medium... -
Nanoscale Objects: Perspectives Regarding Methodologies for Their Assembly, Covalent Stabilization, and Utilization
In this review, we highlight some of the most recent advances in the design and utilization of organic nanoscale objects. Initially discussed is the... -
Chemical Signalling in Beetles
This chapter reviews chemical structures of biologically active, volatile compounds in beetles. Techniques used for structure elucidation are briefly... -
S. cerevisiae K28 toxin – a secreted virus toxin of the A/B family of protein toxins
Since the initial discovery of toxin-secreting killer strains in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae more than 40 years ago, continuous research on... -
Between Objectivity and Whim: Nucleic Acid Structural Biology
Here we explore the subjectivity intrinsic to macromolecular crystallography, focusing on the hydration/counter-ion region of nucleic acids. Water... -
The Rise of Organophosphorus Derivatives in π-Conjugated Materials Chemistry
This chapter concerns the synthesis and properties of π-conjugated oligomers and polymers containing phosphorus moieties, an area of increasing... -
Development of Technetium-99m and Rhenium-188 Radiopharmaceuticals Containing a Terminal Metal–Nitrido Multiple Bond for Diagnosis and Therapy
The chemistry of nitrido complexes of technetium has played an important role in the search of new Tc-99m radiopharmaceuticals and in providing... -
Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy in Single Molecule Nanobioscience
Recent development in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) has made it possible to directly monitor the behaviors of... -
Tracking Movement in Cell Biology
This article is an overview of techniques for measuring movement of proteins, vesicles and cells using digital image processing. Diverse techniques... -
The biosynthesis and functional roles of methylated nucleosides in eukaryotic mRNA
Modified nucleosides are present in mRNA of all eukaryotes, albeit at much lower levels than in other RNA moieties such as rRNA, tRNA, and snRNA....
