A unifying framework for the transient parasite dynamics of migratory hosts.

abstract：:Some strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum produce rhizobitoxine, a phytotoxin that causes foliar chlorosis on susceptible host plants. We have previously obtained Tn5-induced rhizobitoxine null mutants of B. japonicum. DNA sequence analysis of the region surrounding two Tn5 insertions identifies two overlapping open re...

abstract：:We present a model describing how Mg(2+) binds and stabilizes specific RNA structures. In this model, RNA stabilization arises from two energetically distinct modes of Mg(2+) binding: diffuse- and site-binding. Diffusely bound Mg(2+) are electrostatically attracted to the strong anionic field around the RNA and are ac...
