Replicable and recombinogenic RNAs.

Abstract:

:This paper summarizes results of the 40-year studies on replication and recombination of RNA molecules in the cell-free amplification system of bacteriophage Q. Special attention is paid to the molecular colony technique that has provided for the discovery of the nature of "spontaneous" RNA synthesis by Q replicase and of the ability of RNA molecules to spontaneously rearrange their sequences under physiological conditions. Also discussed is the impact of these data on the concept of RNA World and on the development of new in vitro cloning and diagnostic tools.

  • Increased muscarinic receptor binding in heart membranes by an inhibitor of protein kinase C.

    abstract::The number of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (MAChRs), as detected by binding of [3H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB), was investigated under conditions which promote protein phosphorylation.
