But even Prusiner hasn't been able to explain how a protein that has no nucleic acid could encode for the variations.
His analysis of the finches' structural features was the foundation for his theory on the origin and evolution of biological species [ 1 ] . Today, 150 years later, our understanding of cells from a molecular perspective, in parallel with the technological advances in nucleic acid sequencing and computer hardware and software, affords us the opportunity to determine and study the sequences for many genes from a comparative perspective, followed by the computational analysis, cataloging, and presentation of the resulting data on the World Wide Web.
Yet, expression profiling using nucleic acid microarrays does not necessarily correlate with other forms of analysis for all genes [ 21 22 ] . This may be especially true when altered expression of a gene is reported to be present in a subset of a population of tumors, since a small sample number (as are the Chr samples in this study) may not include the alteration.
The first proposes that the mutated SOD1 interacts with NO to produce peroxynitrite (ONOO -), which damages proteins by modifying tyrosine to nitrotyrosine residues [ 42 43 44 ] . The second postulates that the mutant SOD1 possesses an enhanced peroxidase activity, which causes oxidative modification of nucleic acids, proteins and lipids [ 45 46 47 ] . Both of these activities require copper at the active center of SOD1.
Recombinant viral vectors have become the primary agents for both in vitro and in vivo gene transfer applications [ 1 2 3 4 ] . Viruses are powerful gene transfer agents, since they have evolved specific, efficient machinery to deliver nucleic acids into cells.
