Bax degradation by the ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent pathway: involvement in tumor survival and progression.

abstract：:The CuAAC reaction (click chemistry) has been used in conjunction with solid-phase synthesis to produce catalytically active hairpin ribozymes around 100 nucleotides in length. Cross-strand ligation through neighboring nucleobases was successful in covalently linking presynthesized RNA strands with high efficiency (tr...
