Crystal structure of rat intestinal fatty-acid-binding protein. Refinement and analysis of the Escherichia coli-derived protein with bound palmitate.

TL;DR: The refined molecular model of holo-I-FABP suggests several potential locations for entry and exiting of the fatty acid, including the "cradle" formed by the side-chains of hydrophobic, mainly aromatic, amino acid residues.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors

TL;DR: 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.

A simple method for displaying the hydropathic character of a protein

TL;DR: A computer program that progressively evaluates the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a protein along its amino acid sequence has been devised and its simplicity and its graphic nature make it a very useful tool for the evaluation of protein structures.

A rapid alkaline extraction procedure for screening recombinant plasmid DNA

H C Birnboim, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure for extracting plasmid DNA from bacterial cells is described, which is simple enough to permit the analysis by gel electrophoresis of 100 or more clones per day, yet yields DNA which is pure enough to be digestible by restriction enzymes.
