It is unseemly that politicians, who have cowered for years in the Murdoch shadow, should suddenly find backbone enough to berate John Yates, Andy Hayman and Clarke.
The club had found its backbone.
Wouldn't it be stunning if, now that some Republican lawmakers have found the backbone to stand up to the president and his cohort, we could start a national Find-a-Spine movement and encourage them to locate similar resolve to call the game on torture and rendition?
To Blatter's vehement critics – including some respected senior figures in European football who really loathe him – the ban by an ethics committee, which has found its backbone, represents the grubby reality of Blatter's methods finally, far too late, catching up with him.
After nine weeks of driving me slowly insane by becoming increasingly like her brother Viserys, the Khaleesi finally found her backbone this week, seeing off warlocks, former handmaidens and would-be kings in addition to having a vision of her dead husband (a welcome return from Jason Momoa) and throwing in a bit of plunder on the side.
We found that backbone methylation of residues not involved in IMHB and removal of the N-terminal amine can significantly reduce the exposed polarity of peptides, and yet retain a significant OTR agonist activity.
They found the backbone of this tree, i.e. the separation of genera, conforming to their taxonomic expectations.
These previous studies each found that backbone cleavage sites within the interdomain linker can be used to generate split proteins whose association depends upon fusion to interacting proteins.
Abundant even-electron c ions from cleavage on the N-terminal side of C39, C44, C47, and C77 were observed, whereas no products were found from backbone cleavage next to C18.
We found that backbones were modelled well, with an average RMSD100 score of <0.80 Å measured over all backbone atoms, similar to previously reported values for backbone models (Grigoryan and Degrado, 2011).
