Biblioscape Tag File - July 10, 2001
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. 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 "------". 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.

--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.

The following is a list of all data fields in a reference record. A generic label name is in bold face. The table field name, its data type, and field length (amount of data each field can hold) are listed in parenthesis. The field length can be changed with the Restructure utility to store more data or save some disk space. A brief explanation about each field is also listed.
Abstract (Abstract: memo: 256MB) A summary of full content. See Notes, Abstract, and Document for more.
Accession Number (Accession_Num: char: 20) For storing an ID number use by the original database during records importing.

Categories (Categories: char: 100) A category is a keyword or phrase that helps you keep track of references so you can easily find, sort, filter, or group them. Use categories to keep track of different types of references that are related but stored in different folders. For example, you can keep track of all the references for the "Chem 102" project when you create a category named "Chem 102" and assign references to it.
In the Reference Editor Window, if you are in the Categories field on "User Defined" panel, clicking on the Search button at the end of the field will bring up a lookup window where all categories used are listed. You can then pick one of them. If there is more than one category in this field, separate them with "; ".

Reference Read (Ref_read: char: 1) For storing a single character to identify if a reference has been read by the user. When you import a large number of references in a batch, all of them are designated as Unread. Once an Unread reference has been shown in the reference editor or preview window, the reference's Unread status is changed to Read. You can add the Ref_read column to the data grid by going to the menu command "View | Current View | Field Chooser".
Reference Type (Ref_type: char: 30) Biblioscape 4 has 27 pre-defined Reference Types. Each reference type has a set of associated data fields. The reference type determines how the reference is going to be formatted in the bibliography. See Reference Type for more.
Reprint Edition (Reprint: char: 150) The reprint information about a publication, usually include the publisher, the date published, etc.

Start Page (Page_start: char: 20) The start page number of the reference. If you only have one page number for a reference, put it into the Page_start field.
Subject (Subject: char: 255) The Subject field can be used to classify references, so you can easily find, sort, filter, or group them. Use Subject to keep track of different types of references that are related but stored in different folders. For example, you can keep track of all the references about "Computational Chemistry" when you create a subject named "Computational Chemistry" and assign references to it.
In the Reference Editor Window, if you are in the Subject field on the "User Defined" panel, clicking on the Search button at the end of the field will bring up a lookup window where all subjects used are listed. You can then pick one of them. If there is more than one subject in this field, separate them with "; ".
Subject also gives you a way to keep track of references without putting them in separate folders. For example, you can keep references belonging to different subjects in the same folder, then use "By Subject" view to group them.
Title (Title: char: 255) Title of the reference. You should enter the title in the same way you would like it to be capitalized in your bibliographies. See Title for more.

Work Reviewed (Work_reviewed: char: 100) For entering works reviewed by the reference. Reference types like Journal Article, Magazine Article, Newspaper Article, and Book Chapter can be a review of books, computer programs, films and so. You can enter the name and author of a work being reviewed into this field.
Year (Year_pub: integer) The year a reference is published. If you need to enter a publication date for a reference like newspaper article, you don't need to enter the Year, it will be automatically added by Biblioscape according to the value in Date_pub.
