In molecular biology , initiation factors are proteins that bind to the small subunit of the ribosome during the initiation of translation , a part of protein biosynthesis . [ 1 ] Initiation factors can interact with repressors to slow down or prevent translation. They have the ability to interact with activators to h...

Injection locking and injection pulling are the frequency effects that can occur when a harmonic oscillator is disturbed by a second oscillator operating at a nearby frequency. When the coupling is strong enough and the frequencies near enough, the second oscillator can capture the first oscillator, causing it to have ...
