vlicata | September 23, 2011Yanling Yang, who just graduated with a Ph.D. from my lab, has a paper in the just published November issue of Biophysical Chemistry. The entire issue of the journal celebrates the 25th Anniversary of a conference called "The Gibbs Conference on Biothermodynamics", and each of the papers is from the laboratory of one of the organizers of one of the previous 25 annual meetings (I co-organized #24). Despite the restricted invitation list, however, all the papers were peer reviewed (some quite viciously according to reports) and some required several months of revisions to qualify for the…
vlicata | August 7, 2010Our lab has a new paper coming out this week in the Journal of Molecular Biology (JMB):
The Glutamate Effect on DNA Binding by Pol I DNA Polymerases: Osmotic Stress and the Effective Reversal of Salt Linkage
I'm going to talk about a few highlights here, but if you actually want the full article, say so in the comments or email me directly and I'll send you a reprint, because unless you or your university has a subscription to the Journal of Molecular Biology, you'll only be able to see the abstract.
The paper comes primarily from the Ph.D. dissertation of Daniel Deredge and osmotic stress…
