An integrated systems biology approach to understanding the rules of keratinocyte colony formation

Sun, Tao, McMinn, Phil, Coakley, Simon, Holcombe, Mike, Smallwood, Rod, MacNeil, Sheila

Closely coupled in vitro and in virtuo models have been used to explore the self-organization of normal human keratinocytes (NHK). Although it can be observed experimentally, we lack the tools to...

Coordination of two sequential ester-transfer reactions: exogenous guanosine binding promotes the subsequent ωG binding to a group I intron

Bao, Penghui, Wu, Qi-Jia, Yin, Ping, Jiang, Yanfei, Wang, Xu, Xie, Mao-Hua, ...

Self-splicing of group I introns is accomplished by two sequential ester-transfer reactions mediated by sequential binding of two different guanosine ligands, but it is yet unclear how the binding is...
