There were a thousand strands of heavy unkind seaweed and some seals on a distant rock.
Two frayed strands of heavy Manila rope hung limply from her hands, and she smiled at me. "Would you like to do a rope trick?" she asked softly.
The metallic beasts, often smiling despite their chipped paint and unveiled innards, appear relatively sturdy and rigid, even when swept into mid-air and left there, hovering in an organic structure bound by strands of heavy wire.
Attach four or more strands of heavy-duty fishing line to this wire circle.
I'm enormously fond of high school movies, particularly that strand of dialogue-heavy cinema pioneered by John Hughes and Amy Heckerling in the 1980s.
Meselson and Stahl concluded that the new DNA molecules were composed of one strand of each: the heavy inherited, the light newly synthesized.
The D-loop contains the site of mtDNA replication initiation (origin of heavy strand synthesis, OH) and is also the site of both H-strand transcription promoters (HSP1 and HSP2).
The CR acts as the origin of heavy strand replication, in addition to its role as the promoter for both heavy and light strand transcription [ 18].
In vertebrate mt genomes, the origin of heavy strand replication (OH) is thought to be within the control region (CR), and the origin of light strand replication (OL) in the tRNA cluster referred to as the WANCY region (named for the five amino acids coded for by these five tRNAs).
We present a Bayesian genetic approach that suggests that the duplicated control region can function as an additional origin of heavy strand replication.
In vertebrates, tRNALeu has been shown to decouple rates of rRNA and mRNA transcription by acting as a terminator of ~95% of heavy strand transcripts (leading to ~20-fold higher rRNA vs. mRNA levels; [ 18]).
