DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
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.read more

Sequence of protein disulphide isomerase and implications of its relationship to thioredoxin
TL;DR: The sequence of cloned rat liver PDI complementary DNA is described which predicts a protein with two distinct regions homologous with Escherichia coli thioredoxin, a known cofactor in oxidation–reduction reactions, suggesting that PDI, similar in action to thiOREDoxin, catalyses disulphide bond interchange via an internal disulPHide–sulphydryl interchange.

TL;DR: Examination of human tau mRNA indicates that the human cerebrocortical splicing pattern differs from that previously reported for the murine and bovine tau mRNAs, despite conserved exon organization in all three genes.
