Post-termination complex disassembly by ribosome recycling factor, a functional tRNA mimic

Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) together with elongation factor G (EF-G) disassembles the post- termination ribosomal complex. Inhibitors of translocation, thiostrepton, viomycin and aminoglycosides, inhibited the release of tRNA and mRNA from the post-termination complex. In contrast, fusidic acid and a GTP analog that fix EF-G to the ribosome, allowing one round of tRNA translocation, inhibited

Recycling of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored heparan sulphate proteoglycan (glypican) in skin fibroblasts

We have used suramin and brefeldin A to investigate the nature of a heparan sulphate proteoglycan that appears to recycle from the cell surface to intracellular compartments which synthesize new heparan sulphate chains. Suramin, which would block internalization and deglycanation of a putative recycling cell surface proteoglycan, markedly increases the yield of a membrane-bound proteoglycan with a

State of protochlorophyll and chlorophyll in corn roots

The protochlorophyll(ide) present in primary roots of dark-grown corn (Zea mays) seedlings has an in vivo absorption maximum at 634 nm. Red light converts the pigment to chlorophyll(ide) a with an absorption maximum at 675 nm.

Characterization of Polyisoprene-b-Poly(methyl methacrylate) Diblock Copolymer Micelles in Acetonitrile

In acetonitrile, polyisoprene-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PI−PMMA) diblock copolymers form starlike micelles with a dense core of the insoluble PI blocks and a soft solvent-swollen corona of the soluble PMMA blocks. Static and dynamic light scattering experiments in combination with viscosity measurements show that these micelles behave hydrodynamically as hard spheres. The block copolymers are l

Tropes as Mechanisms

This paper is an attempt to further our understanding of mechanisms conceived of as ontologically separable from laws. What opportunities are there for a mechanistic perspective to be independent of, or even more fundamental than, a law perspective? Advocates of the mechanistic view often play with the possibility of internal and external reliability, or with the paralleling possibilities of enfor

Acetate formation during the ethanol oxidation on Rh(1 1 1)

The catalytic cracking of ethanol on clean and oxygen precovered Rh(1 1 1) surfaces has been studied by a combination of synchrotron based high-resolution core level spectroscopy and surface infrared spectroscopy. On the clean surface the decomposition of ethanol occurs without any formation of atomic oxygen. The presence of oxygen on the surface changes the reactivity significantly and previous t

The Demand for Information Services and the Market Structure

Uninformed buyers' demand for statistical screening between privately informed sellers is studied in a fixed price market. A single buyer will screen more extensively than would two or more buyers, since in the latter case buyers realize that sellers will be attracted to buyers with the most favorable screening policy (i.e., not to screen at all). This result is robust to some but not all types of

Successful Swedish headmasters in tension fields and alliances

What makes a headmaster successful? And what does a successful headmaster do? This article presents some results from a research project – Successful school leadership in different school cultures – that aims to provide answers to these questions. The results derive from interviews, questionnaires, observations and pupils’ essays, and comprise the criteria by which different parties involved in sc

Etik i handledning av doktorander.

The article considers various ethical issues in the supervision of doctoral students. Narratives collected at seven Swedish universities describing problematic situations in supervision were analyzed against the background of basic ethical principles, professional ethics of European psychologists, a list of critical incidents from the US, and a code of conduct for supervisors at Oslo University. A

The extent of endosonographic anal sphincter defects after primary repair of obstetric sphincter tears increases over time and is related to anal incontinence.

Objective To describe and classify endosonographic obstetric sphincter defects at 1 week, 3 months and 1 year after primary repair, and to relate the endosonographic results to anal sphincter pressure and to symptoms of anal incontinence over time. Methods Forty-one women who had suffered a third- or fourth-degree perineal tear at delivery underwent anal endosonography and anal manometry 1 week,

Effect of warmer climate on the depletion of snowcovered area in the Satluj basin in the western Himalayan region

The effect of warmer climate on the depletion of snow-covered area has been evaluated for the Satluj River basin located in the western Himalayan region in India. Snowmelt runoff contributes substantially to the annual streamflow of this river. In order to study the impact of three warming scenarios (T+1, T+2 and T+3degreesC), more than 160 new snow depletion curves were prepared for different ele
