though. If Stanford beats Oregon and UCLA beats USC, the Bruins and Cardinal will have a very interesting contest next week. If Stanford also beats UCLA, the Cardinal win the North, the Bruins would have already won the South and they would meet again one week later in the conference title game. But we'll wait until that potentially awkward scenario actually happens before weighing in.

Contender: USC closes out the regular season with Notre Dame, so this is the Trojans' last chance to grab a conference win. It's the same scenario as with UCLA. If the Trojans win this weekend, they win the South Division regardless of what happens the following week. They would have six wins, and even if UCLA beats Stanford, the Trojans would hold the tiebreaker.DNA breaks induction by mimosine.
Mouse erythroleukemic F4 N cells were treated with mimosine, etoposide, Fe(II)-EDTA, and Cu(II) in the presence of ascorbate. DNA was isolated and subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis and the size and distribution of the DNA fragments produced by the agents were compared. With increasing concentration of Cu(II) the production of DNA fragments was increased without decrease of the average length of the fragments, and their sizes were similar to those produced by etoposide as expected for cleavage of DNA at the nuclear matrix attachments sites. In contrast, mimosine and Fe(II) produced fragments of random size and with the progression of the reaction the average length of the fragments decreased. These results indicate that mimosine cuts DNA in a random fashion, regardless of its higher
