Hydrocarbons and the evolution of human culture.

Abstract:

:Most of the progress in human culture has required the exploitation of energy resources. About 100 years ago, the major source of energy shifted from recent solar to fossil hydrocarbons, including liquid and gaseous petroleum. Technology has generally led to a greater use of hydrocarbon fuels for most human activities, making civilization vulnerable to decreases in supply. At this time our knowledge is not sufficient for us to choose between the different estimates of, for example, resources of conventional oil.

  • Eukaryotic ribosomes can recognize preproinsulin initiation codons irrespective of their position relative to the 5' end of mRNA.

    abstract::The functional assay of a eukaryotic mRNA, into which additional AUG codons have been introduced by in vitro mutagenesis, shows that a translational initiation site need not necessarily be the nearest AUG codon to the 5' end of a mRNA. Hence, the sequence surrounding the AUG, and not simply its position relative to th...
