enzyme (Pu-NPase ID is a mi-or enzyme that eMciently phosphorolyzes adienosine and its deriyatiyes ratheT tha" Gther puri"e rmcleosides ]ike Escherichia coti Pu-NPase. The gene coding for Pu-NPase II (punB' gene) has beelt clloned andi sequenced from TH 6-2 strain. The deduced amine acid sequence of Pu-NPase II shared 54`M, iderwity with that of E. coii enzyme, while it had no significant homel...

After summarizing the development of black hole thermodynamics in the seventies, we describe a recent microscopic model. This model suggests that the Bekenstein-Hawking area formula holds for extremal black holes as well as for ordinary (non-extremal) ones. On the other hand, semiclassical studies have suggested a discontinuity between non-extremal and extremal cases. We indicate how a reconcil...

Glutathione transferases are multifunctional enzymes. Some of the known functions of the enzymes are biotransformation of xenobiotics, countering oxidative stress and partici‐ pating in cell regulatory functions. As the isoforms present in number of classes the puri‐ fication of a particular isoform for characterization is a challenging task. In insect, the study of GSTs is focusing on their ro...
