  • In order to determine which helicases facilitate DNA replication across these barriers, we analyzed fork progression through them in wild-type and mutant yeast cells, using 2-dimensional gel-electrophoretic analysis of the replication intermediates. (uthscsa.edu)
  • All three conservation analysis returned intermediate score near to "0" which suggest a neither close nor distant conservation relationship between two residuese. (tu-muenchen.de)
  • We used immunohistochemical and Western blot analysis to determine the distribution and amount of this protein in the frontal and temporal cortices of diseased and control subjects. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Glycine and alanine are both small amino acids, but glycine prefers turns while alanine prefers helices, and glycine is extremely flexible and intermediate while alanine is hydrophobic. (wikipedia.org)
  • Pospiviroidae's type species, potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd), has a rod-like secondary structure ∼360-nt-long genome that can be functionally and structurally divided into five domains: (i) terminal left, (ii) pathogenicity (P), (iii) central (C) containing the conserved central region, (iv) variable (v) and (5) terminal right (TR) (5).
