We review the current st,atus of the determbation of the CKM matrix elements. We explain the concept of quark mixing and describe various parametrizations of the mixing matrix. We give the ranges for the parameters as determined by direct measurements (tree-level processes), unitarity and indirect measurements (one-loop processes). We explain how schemes for mass matrices may give reMions among...

Studies of Escherichia coli 30S ribosomal subunit assembly have revealed a hierarchical and cooperative association of ribosomal proteins with 16S ribosomal RNA; these results have been used to compile an in vitro 30S subunit assembly map. In single protein addition and omission studies, ribosomal protein S13 was shown to be dependent on the prior association of ribosomal protein S20 for bindin...

A series of recent molecular systematic studies of the African electric fishes (Mormyroidea) have challenged many aspects of their traditional taxonomy and precladistic hypotheses of their phylogeny. However, poor resolution of some interrelationships within the subfamily Mormyrinae in these studies highlights the need for additional data and analyses. Here we evaluate the phylogenetic informat...
