Regulation of translation and cell growth by eIF-4E.

abstract：:Although halogenated hydrocarbons are noted for low chemical reactivity, small amounts are toxic to humans. Cytochromes P450 have been implicated in transforming these compounds to more reactive species, under anaerobic conditions, through reduction at the heme. A significant amount of effort has been directed toward ...
