Word decoding of protein amino Acid sequences with availability analysis: a linguistic approach.
The amino acid sequences of proteins determine their three-dimensional structures and functions. However, how sequence information is related to structures and functions is still enigmatic.

Simple models of protein folding and of non--conventional drug design [PDF]
While all the information required for the folding of a protein is contained in its amino acid sequence, one has not yet learned how to extract this information to predict the three--dimensional, biologically active, native conformation of a protein ...

Amino acid metabolism conflicts with protein diversity [PDF]
The twenty protein coding amino acids are found in proteomes with different relative abundances. The most abundant amino acid, leucine, is nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent than the least abundant amino acid, cysteine.

The amino acid sequence of Scenedesmus ferredoxin
The complete amino acid sequence of ferredoxin isolated from a green alga, Scenedesmus species, was determined by analyses of tryptic and chymotryptic digests, and cyanogen bromide cleavage of the S-carboxymethylcysteinylferredoxin. The total number of amino acid residues is 96, one less than for the higher plant ferredoxins.

On the Species Specificity of Acceptor RNA and Attachment Enzymes [PDF]
One of the steps in protein biosynthesis appears to be the attachment of each amino acid to a specific acceptor (SRNA) molecule. According to the adaptor hypothesis, each SRNA molecule would then fit to a specific complementary base sequence on a linear ...

Isolation and Identification of a Novel Phlebovirus, Hedi Virus, from Sandflies Collected in China
We report the isolation of a newly recognized phlebovirus, Hedi virus (HEDV), from Phlebotomus chinensis sandflies collected in Shanxi Province, China. The virus’ RNA is comprised of three segments.

Cloning and sequence analysis of cDNAs encoding the cytosolic precursors of subunits GapA and GapB of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from pea and spinach [PDF]
Chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is composed of two different subunits, GapA and GapB. cDNA clones containing the entire coding sequences of the cytosolic precursors for GapA from pea and for GapB from pea and spinach have ...

Pancreatic cancer-derived S-100A8 N-terminal peptide: a diabetes cause? [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Our aim was to identify the pancreatic cancer diabetogenic peptide. METHODS: Pancreatic tumor samples from patients with (n=15) or without (n=7) diabetes were compared with 6 non-neoplastic pancreas samples using SDS-PAGE.
