From Formamide to RNA, the Path Is Tenuous but Continuous
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reactions of formamide (NH2COH) in the presence of catalysts of both terrestrial and meteoritic origin yield, in plausible and variegated conditions, a large panel of precursors of (pre)genetic and (pre)metabolic interest. Formamide chemistry potentially satisfies all of the steps from the very initial precursors to RNA. Water chemistry enters the scene in RNA non-enzymatic synthesis and recombination.

Longest Path in Networks of Queues in the Steady-State
Due to the importance of longest path analysis in networks of queues, we develop an analytical method for computing the steady-state distribution function of longest path in acyclic networks of queues. We assume the network consists of a number of queuing systems and each one has either one or infinite servers. The distribution function of service time is assumed to be exponential or Erlang. Fu...
متن کاملA general method of gene isolation.
A general method of gene isolation has been developed that involves the chemical linkage of RNA to cellulose by a water-soluble carbodiimide, and the continuous circulation of DNA containing specific sequences complementary to the RNA. The temperature of the cellulose matrix is maintained at 37 degrees (50% formamide, 0.3 M NaCl-0.03 M Na(3) citrate) to allow efficient DNA-RNA interaction in th...
متن کاملCircular forms of Uukuniemi virion RNA: an electron microscopic study.
Because the ribonucleoprotein forms of the segments of the Uukuniemi virus genome have previously been characterized as circular, we examined the isolated RNAs by electron microscopy under conditions of increasing denaturation. After spreading under moderately denaturing conditions (50 or 60% formamide), 50 to 70% of the molecules were circular. Increasing the formamide concentration to 70 and ...

Aim and Background: Chronic pain self-management is one of the improvement, rehabilitation and prevent worsening of the pain programs influenced by several factors such as severity of pain and type of recurrent and continuous chronic pain, that the present study examines these two factors through catastrophic thoughts and pain self-efficacy. Methods and Materials: This study was descriptive an...
متن کاملOne-step hot formamide extraction of RNA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Current methods for isolating RNA from budding yeast require lengthy and laborious steps such as freezing and heating with phenol, homogenization with glass beads, or enzymatic digestion of the cell wall. Here, extraction with a solution of formamide and EDTA was adapted to isolate RNA from whole yeast cells through a rapid and easily scalable procedure that does not require mechanical cell lys...
