Rounding out this weekend's traveling squad are veterans Rich Corrado in the 142-lb, class. Alex Montgomery and Mark Cocalis at 150 and 167 lbs, respectively and co-captain Doug Mason. Mason's recovery from last year's long-term virus is a definite plus. Always a bright spot in the program over the past three years, he fills the 158 slot solidly...
...feeling well," confessed the Ayatullah to his followers. He then launched into a feverish attack on the U.S. Said he: "The U.S. has grabbed our money just like thieves. We should not fall for their propaganda." An aide reported that Khomeini was suffering from a flu virus communicated to him by "various visitors who have come to Qum in that condition." Said one observer: "The Imam has never sounded this bad before...
Research on genetic growth patterns of the virus might help scientists understand the process of gene control in humans, Ptashne added...
About three months ago he discovered that two proteins of the virus bind to the host cell's DNA and determine the cell's growth pattern. One protein activates the genes that trigger destructive growth, while the other, the repressor protein counteracts the growth...
Last month, Ptashne announced that he had induced sythesis of a protein in a virus by using DNA. The Harvard research group applied the technique developed in the synthesis experiments to their investigation of the genetic role of the two proteins in the phage lambda. "It's all come together in the last several months," Ptashne said...
