The mathematical formalism of mass-action chemical reaction networks (CRNs) has been proposed as a mid-level programming language for dynamic molecular systems. Several systematic methods for translating CRNs into domain-level strand displacement (DSD) systems have been developed theoretically, and in some cases demonstrated experimentally. Software that facilitates the simulation of CRNs and D...

H IV rides the tRNA train to the nucleus, according to Lyubov Zaitseva, Richard Myers, and Ariberto Fassati (University College, London, UK). For HIV to propagate inside cells, it must fi rst enter the nucleus and, using its reverse transcription complex (RTC), integrate into the host genome.
