Why Brussels? Neruda’s ‘título absolutamente enigmático’ by Moran, D

“…<p>The primary purpose of this article is to propose a solution to longstanding literary mystery, namely, why Neruda&rsquo;s disconcertingly enigmatic poem &lsquo;Bruselas&rsquo; (from&nbsp;<em>Tercera residencia</em>&nbsp;[1947]) has a title which seems to bear little if any relation either to the city of Brussels itself or to its sometimes bewilderingly obscure content and imagery. …”

Analysis of the role played by ligand-induced folding of the cocaine-binding aptamer in the photochrome aptamer switch assay by Shoara, Aron A., Churcher, Zachary R., Steele, Terry W. J., Johnson, Philip E.

“…Fluorescence anisotropy measurements were used to quantify the affinity of the conjugated aptamer to cocaine. We also used thermal melt analysis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to show that the addition of the stilbene to the aptamer increases the melt temperature of the cocaine-bound structure-switching aptamer by (6.4 ± 0.3) °C compared to the unconjugated aptamer while the free form of the structure-switching aptamer-stilbene conjugate remains unfolded.…”
