Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes (1997)
Journal Article

In investigating the composition of stored (maternal) mRNP particles in Xenopus oocytes, attention has focussed primarily on the phosphoproteins pp60/56, which are Y-box proteins involved in a general packaging of mRNA. We now identify a third, abund... Read More about Xp54, the Xenopus homologue of human RNA helicase p54, is an integral component of stored mRNP particles in oocytes.

Masking of messenger RNA by Y-box proteins (1996)
Journal Article

The Y-box proteins are defined by their ability to bind to Y-box promoter elements and to help regulate transcription of a wide variety of genes. However, Y-box proteins are also identified as abundant proteins in the cytoplasm of germ cells, where t... Read More about Masking of messenger RNA by Y-box proteins.

Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins (1996)
Journal Article

Gametogenesis is directed by various specialized genetic mechanisms which, to a considerable extent, apply to the production of both eggs and sperm and have been conserved across a wide spectrum of eukaryotic organisms. Two key aspects which are disc... Read More about Transcription and masking of mRNA in germ cells: Involvement of Y-box proteins.

Electrorheological properties of polypyrrole prepared by the action of mineral acids on pyrrole (1996)
Journal Article

Polypyrrole was prepared in high yield by the polymerisation of pyrrole in strongly acidic conditions using hydrofluoric, hydrochloric (at 20°C and 100°C), hydrobromic, nitric and orthophosphoric acids. The polymer products incorporated significant a... Read More about Electrorheological properties of polypyrrole prepared by the action of mineral acids on pyrrole.

Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours (1996)
Journal Article

Composites of tin dioxide (an n-type semiconductor) and derivatives of the conducting polymer polypyrrole (a p-type semiconductor) gave reversible changes in electrical resistance at room temperature when exposed to a range of organic vapours. The op... Read More about Novel composite organic-inorganic semiconductor sensors for the quantitative detection of target organic vapours.
