Jv Riman

Biography

Riman studied, by original cytocchemical quantitative studies, the growth periods of haematopoietic organs (including the cellular differentiation) during postnatal ontogenesis; revealed the virus induced acute Avian lyeloblasosis as a rhythmic growth process. In the field of biochemistry of retroviruses, he first demonstrated a messenger activity of the viral genome molecule (AMV). He collected original data on special host nucleic acid components occluded in retroviruses, e.g. special host tRNAs and aminoacyl tRNA transpherases, virus occluded ribosomes and their features. He first detected 7S host DNA in virions of AMV and discovered that this DNA bound with the retrovirus nucleoprotein core complex represents minute early replicative structures.
