Aside from wanting to play around with nitric acid, [Ben] really didn’t have a reason to decap a few 74xx and 4000-series logic chips. Not that we mind, as he provides a great tutorial at looking at a ...

If you are a regular searcher for exotic parts among the virtual pages of semiconductor supplies catalogs, you will have probably noticed that for a given function it is most often the part bearing ...

In budding yeast, most cytoplasmic mRNA turnover is initiated by deadenylation 1. These messages are then either decapped and subject to 5′ → 3′ decay 2,3 or degraded by the cytoplasmic exosome 4.

EDN is starting a series where we do a “tear-down” on ICs and reverse engineer them thanks to the services of Chipworks. The first feature, about a Maxim MAX8814 lithium ion charger IC is here. Since ...

Nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) degrades mRNA containing premature translation termination codons. In yeast, NMD substrates are decapped and digested exonucleolytically from the 5′ end. Despite the ...
