On the origin of the mitochondrial genetic code: Towards a unified mathematical framework for the management of genetic information [PDF]
The origin of the genetic code represents one of the most challenging problems in molecular evolution. The genetic code is an important universal feature of extant organisms and indicates a common ancestry of different forms of life on earth.

Biophysical Interactions Underpin the Emergence of Information in the Genetic Code
The genetic code conceals a ‘code within the codons’, which hints at biophysical interactions between amino acids and their cognate nucleotides. Yet, research over decades has failed to corroborate systematic biophysical interactions across the code ...

Summary: Melanin is a pigment produced from the amino acid L-tyrosine in melanosomes. The CNC-family transcription factor Nrf3 is expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis, where melanocytes reside, but its melanogenic function is unclear.

New Genotypes of Sweetleaf (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) Acclimatized and Bred at Buzau
In Romania, during the 1980s, this species was studied in addition to other sweetener plants, such as Jerusalem artichoke, sweet sorghum, sweet iris, etc. After 1996, the researches were restarted intensively at Vegetable Research and Development Station

Stops making sense: translational trade-offs and stop codon reassignment [PDF]
Background Efficient gene expression involves a trade-off between (i) premature termination of protein synthesis; and (ii) readthrough, where the ribosome fails to dissociate at the terminal stop. Sense codons that are similar in sequence to stop codons

NRF3 activates mTORC1 arginine-dependently for cancer cell viability
Summary: Cancer cells coordinate the mTORC1 signals and the related metabolic pathways to robustly and rapidly grow in response to nutrient conditions. Although a CNC-family transcription factor NRF3 promotes cancer development, the biological relevance ...

Detection of meta - and ortho -cleavage dioxygenases in bacterial phenol-degraders
In the last five years, in our lab, several bacterial genera capable of degrading phenol as sole carbon source were isolated from different Egyptian ecosystems. Phenol mineralization using these isolates was ranged from 55% to 0.4%.

Codon Distribution in Error-Detecting Circular Codes
In 1957, Francis Crick et al. suggested an ingenious explanation for the process of frame maintenance. The idea was based on the notion of comma-free codes.
