Complete nucleotide sequence of the influenza B/Singapore/222/79 virus hemagglutinin gene and comparison with the B/Lee/40 Hemagglutinin [PDF]
The complete nucleotide sequence of the hemagglutinin (HA) gene of the human type B influenza virus B/Singapore/222/79 is presented. Comparison with the only other known sequence of a B hemagglutinin (B/Lee/40) shows that antigenic drift in type B HA ...

Synthesis and Purification of Peptide Nucleic Acids [PDF]
AbstractPeptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are DNA analogs in which the normal phosphodiester backbone is replaced by 2‐aminoethyl glycine linkages. Hybridization of PNAs with RNA or DNA follows normal rules for Watson‐Crick base pairing and occurs with high affinity.

Atomic mutagenesis of stop codon nucleotides reveals the chemical prerequisites for release factor-mediated peptide release. [PDF]
Termination of protein synthesis is triggered by the recognition of a stop codon at the ribosomal A site and is mediated by class I release factors (RFs).

Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a nucleic acid analog in which the sugar phosphate backbone of natural nucleic acid has been replaced by a synthetic peptide backbone usually formed from N-(2-amino-ethyl)-glycine units. It is chemically stable and resistant to hydrolytic enzyme cleavage and thus not expected to be degraded inside a living cell.

Potential applications of peptide nucleic acid in biomedical domain
Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) are DNA/RNA synthetic analogs with 2‐([2‐aminoethyl] amino) acetic acid backbone. They partake unique antisense and antigene properties, just due to its inhibitory effect on transcription and translation; they also undergo ...

Chiral Peptide Nucleic Acids with a Substituent in the N-(2-Aminoethy)glycine Backbone
A peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is a synthetic nucleic acid mimic in which the sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by a peptide backbone. PNAs hybridize to complementary DNA and RNA with higher affinity and superior sequence selectivity compared to DNA ...

Specific recognition of a multiply phosphorylated motif in the DNA repair scaffold XRCC1 by the FHA domain of human PNK. [PDF]
Short-patch repair of DNA single-strand breaks and gaps (SSB) is coordinated by XRCC1, a scaffold protein that recruits the DNA polymerase and DNA ligase required for filling and sealing the damaged strand.

N-terminal proteomics assisted profiling of the unexplored translation initiation landscape in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
Proteogenomics is an emerging research field yet lacking a uniform method of analysis. Proteogenomic studies in which N-terminal proteomics and ribosome profiling are combined, suggest that a high number of protein start sites are currently missing in ...
