The effect of hand muscle mechanical vibration on the somatosensory potential (SEP) evoked by median nerve stimulation, was investigated in 10 healthy subjects. A marked decrease in the amplitude of the N17, N20 and P25 components of the cerebral SEP was observed, while the S11 and S13 components of the cervical response did not change. The amplitude reduction of the SEP components was larger w...

with maximum neutrino energy of 18.6 KeV . Such low energy neutrino oscillations can only be detected via neutrino electron scattering. The novel feature is the fact that the cross section is sensitive to both charged and neutral currents. Thus one can simultaneously probe the electron neutrino disappearance as well as the appearance of the other two flavors. By folding the differential cross s...

We have isolated a mutant form of Escherichia coli ribosomal protein S4. This mutant is temperature sensitive and apparently fails to autogenously regulate the gene products of the alpha operon, which consists of the genes for proteins S13, S11, S4, L17, and the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase (1). We have shown that this mutation results in the production of an S4 protein with a molecular weig...

A stable homogeneous ribonucleoprotein fragment of the 30 S ribosomal subunit of E. coli has been prepared by mild nuclease digestion and heating in a constant ionic environment. The fragment contains about half of the 16 S ribosomal RNa and six proteins: S4, S7, S9, S13, S16 and S19. The RNA moiety contains the reported binding sites of all six proteins. After deproteinization, 80% of the RNA ...

Rat liver 5 S and 5.8 S rRNAs were oxidized with periodate and the 3' termini were coupled to Sepharose 4B through an adipic acid dihydrazide spacer. Ribosomal proteins were passed through the nucleic acid affinity columns to form ribonucleoprotein complexes containing the nucleic acid and the proteins that bind to it (5 S . L6, L7, L19; and 5.8 S . L6, L19, S9, S13). Pure isoaccepting species ...

As a contribution to the hypothesis of mixing of three active neutrinos with, at least, one sterile neutrino, we report on a simple 4× 4 texture whose 3× 3 part arises from the popular bimaximal texture for three active neutrinos νe , νμ , ντ , where c12 = 1/ √ 2 = s12, c23 = 1/ √ 2 = s23 and s13 = 0. Such a 3 × 3 bimaximal texture is perturbed through a rotation in the 14 plane, where ν4 is th...

Three ribosomal protein genes induced by low-temperature treatment were isolated from soybean. GmRPS13 (742 bp) encodes a 17.1 kDa protein which has 95% identity with the 40S ribosomal protein S13 of Panax ginseng (AB043974). GmRPS6 (925 bp) encodes a 28.1 kDa protein which has 94% identity with the 40S ribosomal protein S6 of Asparagus officinalis (AJ277533). GmRPL37 (494 bp) encodes a 10.7 kD...

We have developed a cysteine anchoring method for the synthesis of DILP8 and its analogues. The first is to synthesis of DILP8A SS13-18, C14-MeOBzl, C24-Acm and activate it as DILP8A S13-18, C14-SSPyr C24-Acm. A next step is to synthesize the DILP8BC16-Acm. The desired peptide, DILP8 with Cys(Acm) at A-24 and B-16, was then dissolved in 75% HOAc by addition of Iodine in MeOH and 4M HCl in dioxa...
