Benzoxazolinate is a rare bis‐heterocyclic moiety that interacts with proteins and DNA. It was found that a putative acyl AMP‐ligase mediates the last cyclization step to afford benzoxazolinate. The enzyme was then used as a probe for genome mining, which led to the discovery of a new class of benzoxazolinate‐containing compounds in diverse bacteria ...

Occurrence in Korea of Rust Disease on Tilia mandshurica Caused by Pucciniastrum tiliae
Tilia mandshurica trees with rust symptoms have consistently been noticed during disease surveys in Korea since 2006. Based on the morphological examination and molecular sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer and large subunit of ribosomal

Dynamics of ribosomes in mRNA translation under steady and non-steady state conditions [PDF]
Recent advances in DNA sequencing and fluorescence imaging have made it possible to monitor the dynamics of ribosomes actively engaged in messenger RNA (mRNA) translation. Here, we model these experiments within the inhomogeneous totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP) using realistic kinetic parameters.

First Reports of Unrecorded Mortierellomycetes and Umbelopsidomycetes Fungi from Freshwater Ecosystems in Korea [PDF]
In this study, we isolated several fungal strains from filtered water and sediment collected from rivers and streams. The strains were identified by molecular phylogenetic analyses of rDNA sequences (internal transcribed spacer [ITS], large subunit of ...

Phylogenetic analysis of Polystigma and its relationship to Phyllachorales
Polystigma amygdalinum, which causes red leaf blotch of almond, is one of the few fungal plant pathogens to remain a taxonomic enigma, primarily because it has resisted cultivation and causes almond leaf blotch only in restricted regions of the world. To

Dermea piceina (Dermateaceae): An Unrecorded Endophytic Fungus of Isolated from Abies koreana
We found an unrecorded endophytic fungus, Dermea piceina J.W. Groves, isolated from alpine conifer Abies koreana. Until now only one Dermea species, D. cerasi, has been reported in Korea.

Towards New Liquid Crystal Phases of DNA mesogens [PDF]
Short, partially complementary, single-stranded (ss)DNA strands can form nanostructures with a wide variety of shapes and mechanical properties. It is well known that semiflexible, linear dsDNA can undergo an isotropic to nematic (IN) phase transition and that sufficiently bent structures can form a biaxial nematic phase.
