Metalloproteins play structural and catalytic roles in gene expression. The metalloregulatory
proteins are a subclass that exerts metal-responsive control of genes involved in respiration …

The 7S particle of Xenopus laevis oocytes contains 5S RNA and a 40‐K protein which is
required for 5S RNA transcription in vitro. Proteolytic digestion of the protein in the particle …

Contemporary views on the structure and function of chromatin are presented and the

We have examined “preimmune” serum samples from a patient who progressively
developed the symptoms of scleroderma CREST over a period of several years. During this …

We report the interaction between a human centromere antigen and an alphoid DNA, a
human centromeric satellite DNA, which consists of 170-bp repeating units. A cloned …

The Third Edition of Chromatin: Structure and Function brings the reader up-to-date with the
remarkable progress in chromatin research over the past three years. It has been …

How a long strand of genomic DNA is compacted into a mitotic chromosome remains one of
the basic questions in biology. The nucleosome fibre, in which DNA is wrapped around core …

Copper has long been known as essential to living systems, in part through its fundamental
role in electron transport and respiration. Over the years into the present, its involvement in …

Since Flemming described a nuclear substance in the nineteenth century and named it
“chromatin,” this substance has fascinated biologists. What is the structure of chromatin …
