Research is on hairpin catalytic RNA, a catalytic RNA discovered and characterized here in my laboratory at Northern Illinois University. Hairpin catalytic RNA is a molecule which can be engineered to very efficiently cleave target RNA sequences in a unique and efficient reaction. The catalytic RNA can thus be used for the specific down regulation of gene expression since it can be designed to destroy mRNA. Current applications being developed are down regulation of selected genes, including those in the virus HIV-1. Thus it has potential as an AIDS therapeutic. 1, record 11, English, - catalytic%20RNA

The Canadian Grand Prix is usually a race of attrition where it is rare to see half of the grid finishing the race so a strong car is vital... "Montreal is a great place to go as everyone enjoys the circuit there and the city itself... This is a strange place, "said Irvine; "Being neither a street circuit nor a permanent race track. With some fast sections, short corners and a hairpin it can be very tough on the car, especially brakes. The surface is usually very dirty on the first day of practice and gets better as more rubber goes down. " 1, record 18, English, - permanent%20race%20track

The lower lip of an insect formed by the union of a pair of appendages homologous with the second maxillae of a crustacean. It consists of the fixed mentum and the movable prementum to which are attached laterally the 2 labial palps and distally the ligula. The latter, in a generalized insect such as the cockroach, consists of a pair of inner lobes or glossae and outer lobes or paraglossae. In some specialized mouth-parts such as those of the bee the ligula may be lengthened to form a tubular proboscis. 2, record 20, English, - labium

("Unusual" means a base other than A, G, C, or U.) Many of the unusual bases differ from normal bases by the presence of one or more methyl(-CH3) groups. Most, if not all, of the methyl groups are enzymatically added after the nucleotides are linked together by 3’-5’ phosphodiester linkages. Very probably, the other unusual bases also arise by the enzymatic modification of a preexisting polynucleotide. The function of the unusual bases is not yet clear. They are not limited to alanine tRNA but occur in varying proportions in all tRNA molecules. Our only hint of their role is the fact that several unusual bases cannot form conventional base pairs. Some of the unusual bases may thus have the function of disruption double-helical hairpin regions, thereby exposing free keto and amino groups which can then form secondary bonds. Depending upon the specific bases, the free groups may form secondary bonds to template RNA, to a ribosome, or to the enzyme needed to attach a specific amino acid to its specific tRNA molecule. [Examples of those rare nucleotides are : Inosine, 1-methylinosine, N2-dimethylguanosine, 1-methylguanosine, Ribothymidine, Dihydrouridine and Pseudouridine]. 1, record 21, English, - unusual%20base

Les deux classes de bases trouvées dans tous les mononucléotides sont dérivées de corps aromatiques hétérocycliques appelés purine et pyrimidine. La purine dérive elle-même de la pyrimidine par la fusion d'un cycle pyrimidine et imidazole. Les trois bases pyrimidiques les plus communes sont : l'uracile, la thymine et la cytosine, désignées couramment par U, T et C respectivement. Les bases puriques intervenant le plus souvent comme composantes des mononucléotides sont l'adénine et la guanine, respectivement désignées par A et G. Il existe [aussi] de nombreuses bases rares, telles que la 5-méthylcytosine, ou la 5-hydroxyméthyl-cytosine, [l'ionosine, la pseudouridine, etc...] Le rôle de ces bases rares n'est pas clair pour l'instant. Elles (...) existent en proportions variables dans toutes les molécules de tARN. Seul indice connu sur leur rôle possible, ces bases rares ne peuvent pas s'apparier de la manière habituelle. Certaines de ces bases rares pourraient donc avoir pour fonction de provoquer l'ouverture de quelques régions en épingle à cheveux de la double hélice, exposant ainsi des groupements cétones et aminés libres susceptibles de former des liaisons secondaires. Selon la nature des bases exposées, ces groupements libres pourraient former des liaisons secondaires avec la matrice d'ARN, avec le ribosome ou avec l'enzyme qui attache l'acide aminé à son tARN spécifique. 1, record 21, French, - base%20rare

A new method for direct sequence analysis of DNA restriction fragments uses synthetic covalently linked complementary oligodeoxynucleotides, as universal sequencing primer linkers(splinkers). These splinkers were designed to contain an inverted repeat sequence which forms a double-stranded hairpin structure with a known restriction site. The splinkers were characterized by their ability to be self-ligating(dimerized) and by their restriction digest product analysis of both the monomer and dimer. 1, record 22, English, - universal%20sequencing%20primer%20linker
