Isolation of biologically active ribonucleic acid from sources enriched in ribonuclease

John M. Chirgwin, Alan Przybyla, Raymond J. MacDonald et al. · 1 Nov 1979

Intact ribonucleic acid (RNA) has been prepared from tissues rich in ribonuclease such as the rat pancreas by efficient homogenization in a 4 M solution of the potent protein denaturant guanidinium thiocyanate plus 0.1 M 2-mercaptoethanol to break protein disulfide bonds. The RNA was isolated free of protein by ethanol precipitation or by sedimentation through…

Dominant forces in protein folding

Ken A. Dill · 7 Aug 1990

T e purpose of this review is to assess the nature and mag-nitudes of the dominant forces in protein folding. Since proteins are only marginally stable at room temperature, ’ no type of molecular interaction is unimportant, and even small interactions can contribute significantly (positively or nega-tively) to stability (Alber, 1989a,b; Matthews, 1987a,b). However, the…

Biochemistry template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biochemistry format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biochemistry template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biochemistry use?
Biochemistry uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Biochemistry 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biochemistry?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Biochemistry document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biochemistry template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biochemistry format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is Biochemistry?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Biochemistry PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biochemistry template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biochemistry template cost?
You can start writing in the Biochemistry template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biochemistry PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
