...paper to be published in June. Mario R. Capecchi says that in a typical bacteria. E. coli, one special amino acid is probably required to initiate the synthesis of all proteins. He suggests that this some amino acid may be necessary for the initiation of all protein synthesis...
...process of protein synthesis, information is transferred from DNA, a linear sequence of nucleotides, to messenger-DNA another type of nucleic acid. The messenger is then "read" and amino acids corresponding to the "words," or codens are joined together end-to-end in a long chain to form a protein...
...known that one messenger sometimes codes for more than one protein. However, it was not understood how the cell "punctuated" the message to separate one protein from the next: the chain of the first protein must be terminated right before the first amino acid of the second protein. For a while it was thought that the only signal required was a special codon in the messenger that said "stop...
...last fall Capecchi and Jerry M. Adams, another pre-doctoral student at the Biology labs, found evidence that an initiator signal was also required, and that part one of this signal was the amino acid N-formylmethionine...
Make no mistake: if He rose at all it was as His body; if the cells' dissolution did not reverse, the molecules reknit, the amino acids rekindle, the Church will fall...
