Real exchange rates in Latin America : the PPP hypothesis and fractional integration by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Gil-Alana, Luis A.

“…Compared to earlier studies on these economies, this approach has the advantage of allowing for non-integer values for the degree of integration, and thus for the possibility of PPP not holding continuously but as a long-run equilibrium condition.

Sequence-dependent drug binding to the minor groove of DNA: crystal structure of the DNA dodecamer d(CGCAAATTTGCG)2 complexed with propamidine by Nunn, Christine M., Neidle, Stephen

“…The structure shows binding of the propamidine molecule within the AT tract of the DNA minor groove with a shift from the center of the duplex toward the 3’ end of ca. 2 A. The long AT tract of six base pairs in length allows the propamidine many potential binding sites in the DNA groove, and its binding is seen to occur where there is least perturbation to the DNA from that seen in the native structure. …”
