antisense strand (medicine)


antisense strand
<molecular biology> The strand of DNA which is not used during transcription to make mRNA (anticoding strand). The mRNA made during transcription thus has the same sequence as this strand, so that the eventual protein will be a sense version.


Tesla, Nikola (sh)




born July 9/10, 1856, Smiljan, Lika, Austria-Hungary
died Jan. 7, 1943, New York, N.Y., U.S.

Serbian U.S. inventor and researcher.

He studied in Austria and Bohemia and worked in Paris before coming to the U.S. in 1884. He worked for Thomas Alva Edison and George Westinghouse but preferred independent research. His inventions made possible the production and distribution of alternating-current electric power. He invented an induction coil that is still widely used in Radio technology, the Tesla coil (งใ 1890); his system was used by Westinghouse to light the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition. Tesla established an electric power station at Niagara Falls in 1893. His research also included work on a carbon button lamp and on the power of electrical resonance. He discovered terrestrial stationary waves (1899-1900), proving that the Earth is a conductor. Due to lack of funds, many of his ideas remained only in his notebooks, which are still examined by engineers for inventive clues.
