Escherichia coli formylmethionine tRNA: mutations in GGGCCC sequence conserved in anticodon stem of initiator tRNAs affect initiation of protein synthesis and conformation of anticodon loop.

abstract：:Long-term depression (LTD) is held relevant to memory and learning. Its induction is known to require postsynaptic calcium increases. However, the source of these calcium increases remains unclear. In visual cortex slices, LTD was induced by tetanization after blockade of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and non-NMDA ionot...
