...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...
...Manhattan's Philharmonic Hall, Ferrante and Teicher skipped through a medley of their movie-theme hits: Moon River Days of Wine and Roses, The Exodus Song, Tonight. Their dual attack usually has one pianist picking out the melody while the other stitches on Liberacean lace tinselly trills, end-to-end keyboard riplings, couched in a lush orchestration of breezy, cascading strings and trickling woodwinds...

But the rival Santa Fe, whose tracks tie to Western's, contends that "side-by-side" mergers create monopolies, advocates instead "end-to-end" mergers...
...mast" has the makings of a revolution in architecture, because it puts the horizontal steel-in tension principles that apply to suspension bridges into a vertical context. The wires, in a state of tension, keep the mast unbending and rigid. The aluminum tubes, arranged like pairs of end-to-end coat hangers (see cut), push the wires apart to keep them taut. An exact balance of push-and-pull makes the tower stand...
Bell's new craft uses the same lift principle as Britain's new "Flying Bedstead," of which the Ministry of Supply released the first picture last week (see cut). The Bedstead has two engines, mounted end-to-end, with right-angle exhaust pipes to shoot the jet blast downward, thus cause the Bedstead to rise. From a seat on top, the pilot steadies and controls the contraption by shooting compressed air through nozzles mounted on outriggers. When the Bedstead is tilted forward, the jet stream thrusts it ahead. Similarly, pulling the nose up causes the jets...
