Exploring and Exploiting Ribonuclease 1: from Protein Biochemistry to Protein Engineering by Wralstad, Evans Christian

“…The zymogen is inactivated by steric occlusion and conformational distortion of the active site, and site-specific activation by 3CL superscript pro results in a multi-order of magnitude increase in ribonucleolytic activity. 3CL superscript pro action upon the zymogen leads to ribonucleolytic turnover of a fluorescent RNA substrate by the activated species, affording signal amplification that enables detection of nanomolar 3CLpro concentrations in a timeframe comparable to rapid antigen detection testing.…”

How to learn Chinese characters? Exploring the effectiveness of different learning methods in young Singaporean children by Toh, Wendy Hwee Bin

“…In addition, the study also investigated whether children’s level of radical awareness (RA), which refers to the perception of radicals and components that make up compound characters, would mediate the effectiveness of specific learning conditions. Findings of Experiment 1 revealed that the presence of Pinyin during character learning affected character recognition (CR) accuracy by interfering with the orthographic form recognition (OR) and sound retrieval among the low RA children. …”
