Luciferin-Regenerating Enzyme Crystal Structure Is Solved but its Function Is Still Unclear.

abstract：:This research examines the behavior of ground-level solar UV radiation as measured by eight broadband meters in the continental United States during the period from late 1994 to late 1998. The goal is to define the variability that occurs in UV irradiance over time scales ranging from one to several years. The monthly...
