TLDR
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.
Abstract
A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described. It is similar to the “plus and minus” method [Sanger, F. & Coulson, A. R. (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 94, 441-448] but makes use of the 2′,3′-dideoxy and arabinonucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase. The technique has been applied to the DNA of bacteriophage ϕX174 and is more rapid and more accurate than either the plus or the minus method.

Primary structure and functional expression from complementary DNA of the rod photoreceptor cyclic GMP-gated channel

TL;DR: The complete amino-acid sequence of the cyclic GMP-gated channel from bovine retinal rod photo-receptors, deduced by cloning and sequencing its complementary DNA, shows that the protein contains several putative transmembrane segments, followed by a region that is similar to the cyclo-GMP-binding domains of cyclicGMP-dependent protein kinase.

Cloning and expression of multiple protein kinase C cDNAs

TL;DR: Three different protein kinase C related cDNA clones were isolated from a rat brain cDNA library and designatedPKC-I, PKC-II, and PKD-III, each encode very similar, but distinct, polypeptides that contain a region homologous with other protein kinases.

A component of calcium-activated potassium channels encoded by the Drosophila slo locus

TL;DR: Results indicate that slo encodes a structural component of Ca(2+)- activated K+ channels, similar to voltage-activated K+ channel polypeptides in discrete domains known to be essential for function.

Resistance to ddI and Sensitivity to AZT Induced by a Mutation in HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase

TL;DR: Analysis of HIV-1 variants confirmed that the ddI resistance mutation alone conferred ddI and 2',3'-dideoxycytidine resistance, and suppressed the effect of the AZT resistance mutation.

A rapid method for determining sequences in DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase.

TL;DR: A simple and rapid method for determining nucleotide sequences in single-stranded DNA by primed synthesis with DNA polymerase is described and was used to determine two sequences in bacteriophage φX174 DNA.

Nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage G4 DNA.

TL;DR: The sequence identifies many of the features responsible for the production of the proteins of the nine known genes of the organism, including initiation and termination sites for the proteins and RNAs.
