Balance of payments constrained growth model: an examination of Thirlwall's Hypothesis using McCombie's Individual Country Method by Mat Ghani, Gairuzazmi

“…The balance of payments constrained growth (BOP) model is tested using the McCombie's cross-country and individual country test for 90 developed and developing countries for the period 1980 to 2000, and the McCombie's test is extended using export elasticity. If in the long run, the growth of exports is equal to the growth of imports and the affect of prices are not statistically significant, the estimated import elasticity from time series regression should not be statistically different from the BOP implied import elasticity, this also implied that the estimated export elasticity, also should not be statistically different from the BOP implied export elasticity. …”

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. …”
