Theory of molecular machines. I, Channel capacity of molecular machines

Thomas D. Schneider
- 07 Jan 1991 -

TLDR
The capacity of a molecular machine is sharply limited by the dissipation and the thermal noise, but the machine failure rate can be reduced to whatever low level may be required for the organism to survive.

Features of spliceosome evolution and function inferred from an analysis of the information at human splice sites.

TL;DR: An information analysis of the 5' (donor) and 3' (acceptor) sequences spanning the ends of nearly 1800 human introns has provided evidence for structural features of splice sites that bear upon spliceosome evolution and function.

Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid

James D. Watson, +1 more
- 25 Apr 1953 - 
TL;DR: The determination in 1953 of the structure of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), with its two entwined helices and paired organic bases, was a tour de force in X-ray crystallography and opened the way for a deeper understanding of perhaps the most important biological process.
