153-Eastern Dallmann Bay to capture
Antarctic fish by trawling and trapping.
The live fishes will be transported to the
aquarium facilities at Palmer Station for
experimentation. The applicant will use
Escherichia coli strain BL21DE3 for the
production of 35S-labeled proteins to be
used in protein folding assays in the
continued analysis of a cold-functioning
chaperonin protein folding system from
testis tissue of the Antarctic fish.
