Regulation of alcohol dehydrogenase genes in maize
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Alcohol dehydrogenase mutants can be selectively isolated in maize with great efficiency. Structural gene and regulatory mutants have been characterized biochemically, immunologically and genetically. The alcohol dehydrogenase ...
The development of new drugs for genetic diseases
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
The genetic diseases of man constitute a unique challenge to the medical scientist. For the past several years our laboratory has been developing new drugs for two of the more common genetic diseases - sickle cell anemia ...
DNA packaging in isolated bacterial nucleoids : (chromosomes, DNA tertiary structure, nucleoids, DNA folding, DNA supercoiling, nascent RNA, membrane-DNA)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Properties of nucleoids isolated from Escherichia coli are described. Experiments which investigate the organization of DNA folding and supercoiling in the isolated chromosome are reviewed, and evidence is discussed ...
Dinoflagellate genetics and DNA characterization : (dinoflagellates, evolution, nucleus, DNA, genetics, mesocaryota)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Nuclear features of dinoflagellates that were used origin ally to support the Mesocaryota concept are reviewed. Although dinoflagellates possess some procaryotic nuclear features, the remainder of the cell is obviously ...
RNA : protein and protein : Protein interactions in the virions of southern bean mosaic virus : (isometric plant viruses, stabilizing interactions, capsid structure)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Virions of southern bean mosaic virus (SBMV), a small RNA-containing isometric plant virus, are stabilized with strong linkages between the coat protein subunits mediated through divalent metal ions (magnesium, calcium) ...
Mutagenic mechanisms in bacteriophage T4 : (bacteriophage T4, mutagenic mechanisms, heat mutagenesis)
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Mutagenic mechanisms can be divided into two categories, those dependent upon specific base mispairing (generating base pair substitutions and frameshift mutations) and those dependent upon misrepair (perhaps as a result ...
Genetic Regulation of fermentation organisms : fermentation, regulation, antibiotics
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
An effective fermentation organism is a wasteful creature that overproduces and excretes its metabolic intermediates and end products. Cultures obtained from screening programs usually possess subnormal regulatory controls. ...
Genetic approaches to the study of ribosomes
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Specific mutants of Escherichia coli have been used in order to investigate certain aspects of ribosome function, bio synthesis and decay. These studies show that in the function of the ribosome its various components are ...
Aphrodisiacs and anaphrodisiacs : better loving through chemistry : reproduction, behavior, pheromones, love potions, biological control
(University of Missouri, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1976)
Reproductive behavior in animals is modulated by an assortment of chemical signals. This paper focuses on substances that are externally emitted and are effective when a male and female are near or in contact with each ...
