By studying the linker histone/DNA complex in vitro, our goal was to
gain further insight into the interaction of these histones in chromatin structure,
which, in turn, helps us in better understanding critical biological processes such
as replication, transcription, and recombination. In direct competition
experiments, we have confirmed previous results...
A novel protocol for the study of protein-nucleic acid interactions is presented and demonstrated
to be feasible. The protocol combines photochemical crosslinking techniques and mass
spectrometric methods into a new strategy for identifying protein domains or amino acid residues
that are in close contact with nucleic acid in protein-nucleic acid...
Summer Youth Employment Programs (SYEPs) provide disadvantaged youth
jobs and employment experiences. These federally funded programs meet a practical
need to help adolescents earn money and have positive summer activities. In addition,
federal administrators have implemented program requirements designed to give youth
relevant training for future employment.
One federal requirement...
Regulation of expression of three genes in the polyhedron
envelope protein (PEP) gene region of the Orgyia pseudotsugata
multinucleocapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (OpMNPV) was
examined. These genes include open reading frame (ORF) 1 (encoding
p21), ORF 2 (encoding gp16), and ORF 3 (encoding the polyhedron
envelope protein). The effect of...

The ecology of netleaf hackberry (Celtis reticulata Torr.) is poorly known
throughout its broad western range. To gain some understanding of the species' basic
ecology, three components of its life history were studied. First, seed germination
requirements were analyzed under laboratory conditions. Second, hackberry population
dynamics were evaluated from tree...
