The first is an absorbing, low-budget art movie about conjoined twins, the weaker of whom is dying and mordant, the other torn (so to speak) between loyalty to his brother and a tenuous connection to the external world--embodied in part by a prostitute (Michele Hicks) who looks like Bridget Fonda as Vampira and acts like a slightly less wooden porn star.
This David Lynch-ian film about a love triangle involving a pair of conjoined twins and a prostitute provokes a fittingly dual response from reviewers.
As always in any collection of wordplays, many— most—are terrible or toothless (e.g., Tuning Fork , which lacks the desirable distance between the two items suddenly conjoined).
The second part, ‘The Dangerous Womb’, is about birth defects, conjoined twins, and basic embryology.
For example, Herschlag and co-workers have previously shown that a nucleobase could complement an abasic site within the hammerhead ribozyme, restoring cleavage activity [ 1 ] . Similarly, Porta and Lizardi engineered a hammerhead ribozyme that assumed an inactive secondary structure; upon the addition of an oligonucleotide that disrupted the engineered secondary structure, the ribozyme was activated [ 2 ] . More recently, it has previously been shown that many selected nucleic acid binding species (aptamers) undergo conformational changes upon ligand binding [ 3 4 5 6 ] In addition, when aptamers are conjoined to ribozymes, the ligand-induced conformational changes in the aptamers frequently modulate the structures and hence the activities of the ribozymes [ 7 8 9 ] For example, binding of theophylline to the anti-theophylline aptamer [ 10 ] modulates the conformation of residue [ 11 12 ] and the overall stability of the aptamer [ 10 13 ] . Appending the anti-theophylline aptamer to the hammerhead ribozyme allowed cleavage activity to be modulated by 110-fold by theophylline [ 13 ] . Similarly, appending the anti-theophylline aptamer to a small ribozyme ligase (L1) generated an aptazyme that was activated 1,600-fold by saturating theophylline concentrations [ 14 ] .
