abstract:The N-end rule is a rule related to ubiquitination, discovered by Alexander Varshavsky and co-workers in 1986. The rule states that the N-terminal amino acid of a protein determines its half-life (likelihood of being degraded).
So if the HRC says we're to eradicate the F-word from our language, just as the NAACP says we're to get rid of the N-word, then why do we allow the exceptions to the rule, and end up praising the offenders as friends of our communities?
