abstract：:The tumour suppressor p53 is required to induce programmed cell death (apoptosis) by DNA-damaging agents. As p53 is a transcriptional activator that mediates gene induction after DNA damage, it has been proposed to be a genetic switch that activates apoptosis-mediator genes. Here we evaluate the role of p53 in DNA-dam...

As estimated from stiffness and equatorial X-ray diffraction of muscle and muscle fibres, most myosin crossbridges are attached to actin during isometric contraction, but a much smaller fraction is bound stereospecifically.
