The effects of oligoribonucleotides of identical or similar sequences to a
ribosomal protein binding site, specifically S8, on prokaryotic 30S ribosomal assembly
were investigated in Escherichia coli. The oligoribonucleotides were expected to bind to
the target protein S8 and block its incorporation into the 30S subunit, resulting in a nonfunctional...
During the Tropical Composition, Clouds and Climate Coupling (TC4) experiment
that occurred in July and August of 2007, extensive sampling of active convection in the
ITCZ region near Central America was performed from multiple aircraft and satellite
sensors. As part of a sampling strategy designed to study cloud processes, the...
