Biblioscape User Community

Biblioscape uses a plain text ASCII file to transfer record data between different Biblioscape databases. You can view the file with any word processor or editor.  When you need to create bibliographic record in other devices like Plam or PocketPC, you can use Biblioscape Tag File which can be easily imported into Biblioscape database by go to "File | Import". Select the file to be imported after clicking the Browse button, choose import filter "Biblioscape Tag File", click Start button to import.

Transfer records between two databases using Biblioscape tag file

When you need to transfer references from one database to another one, references should be exported as Biblioscape tag file, and imported into the other database using the import filter "Biblioscape Tag File". In this way, no data will be lost during the export and import process. The following 3 fields are changed.

• Reference ID: The field Ref_ID is database dependent. User has no control over the value assigned. A Ref_ID number is only assinged once in a database to guarantuee each value is unique. So the number will change when you import a reference from one database to another. If you want an ID number that won't change during export and import, you have to enter it manually in the Label field or another field. Biblioscape also keeps an unique value in the File As field which include first author, year published and part of the title.
• Date Created: The value is Date_created is stamped by Biblioscape when a new record is created. So when you import a reference, this value is generated according to the current date, not the Date_created value in the Biblioscape tag file. Since the original Date Created value may be important for some users, Biblioscape will put it in the Custom 1 field if there is one.
• Date Modified: The value is Date_modified is stamped by Biblioscape when a new record is changed. So when you import a reference, this value is generated according to the current date, not the Date_modified value in the Biblioscape tag file.

Field code used in Biblioscape tag file

The Biblioscape tag file uses two-letter codes to represent different data fields. These codes are preceded by two dashes "--", and followed by two dashes plus a space "-- ". The following table lists the data fields and their corresponding two-letter code. An example of a Biblioscape tag file is shown at the end. In a Biblioscape tag file, each record is separated by a line with six dashes "------".

--AB-- Protein 4.1 is an 80-kD structural component of the red blood cell (RBC) cytoskeleton. It is critical for the formation of the spectrin/actin/protein 4.1 junctional complex, the integrity of which is important for the horizontal strength and elasticity of RBCs. We and others have previously shown that multiple protein 4.1 mRNA isoforms are generated from a single genomic locus by several alternative mRNA splicing events, leading to the insertion or skipping of discrete internal sequence motifs. The physiologic significance of these splicing events has been established for only two of these motifs: (1) an upstream 17-nucleotide sequence located at the 5' end of exon 2 that contains an in-frame ATG initiation codon, the inclusion of which by use of an alternative splice acceptor site in exon 2 allows the production of a 135-kD high-molecular-weight isoform present in nonerythroid cells; (2) exon 16, which encodes a 21-amino acid (21aa) segment located in the 10-kD ''spectrin/actin binding domain'' (SAB), the presence of which is required for junctional complex stability in RBCs. Previous studies by our group and others suggested that, among blood cells, this exon was retained only in mature mRNA in the erythroid lineage. Exon 16 is one of a series of three closely linked alternatively spliced exons, generating eight possible mRNA products with unique configurations of the SAB. In this communication, we report studies of the expression of both the translation initiation region and the SAB region during induced erythroid maturation in mouse erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. We have found that only two of eight possible combinatorial patterns of exon splicing at the SAB region are encountered: the isoform lacking all three exons, present in predifferentiated cells, and the isoform containing only exon 16, which increases in amount during erythroid differentiation. The proteinisoform containing the 21aa segment encoded by exon 16 efficiently and exclusively incorporates into the membrane, whereas the isoform lacking this 21aa segment remains in the cytoplasm, as well as the membrane.

--AB-- The mild base-promoted reaction of methyl 2-phenyl-1-azirine-3-acetate (1) with aldehydes and acetone provides a new and simple route to the 3-oxazolines 5, which are formed in good yields by the electrophilic trapping of an imino anion produced by C-N bond cleavage in the 1-azirine enolate intermediate 6. Chloranil oxidation of 5 containing an aromatic substituent at C-2 affords oxazoles 7, while reaction of 5 containing an aliphaticgroup at C-2 produces 5-methylene-3-oxazolines 8 and 5-spiro-2-oxazolines 9 in addition to 7.
