Ten treatment combinations comprising five different organic sources viz., Vermicompost, FYM, NADEP-compost, Bangalore-compost and No manure two levels of mulching mulch with wheat straw @ 2.5t/ha no were evaluated in randomized block design factorial concept four replications. An application vermicompost recorded significantly higher plant height (13.72, 30.00 54.56 cm at 30, 60 DAS harvest, r...

The fast atom bombardment spectra of three phospholipids containing a secondary, tertiary, and quaternary nitrogenous base attached to a 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate skeleton were shown to each contain an ion derived from the intact nitrogenous base. The collisional activation mass analyzed ion kinetic energy spectroscopy (CA MIKES) spectrum produced from each of these ions was shown ...

BACKGROUND Parathyroid hormone is an 84-amino acid peptide secreted by the parathyroid glands. Its physiological role is maintenance of normal serum calcium level and bone remodeling. Biological activity of this hormone is related to N-terminal 1-34 amino acids. The recombinant form of hormone (1-34) has been approved for treatment of osteoporosis from 2002. In this study, a novel fusion partne...

A-kinase anchoring protein 79 (AKAP79) is a human anchoring protein that organizes cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), Ca(2+)/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein phosphatase (PP2B), and protein kinase C (PKC) for phosphoregulation of synaptic signaling. Quantitative biochemical analyses of selected AKAP79 complexes have determined the quaternary structure of these signaling complexes. We show t...

Dietary cation anion difference (DCAD) is an important aspect of dairy nutrition, especially in the transition period. Sahiwal cattle is the highest milk producing breed among Zebu cattle. We planned first study on transition Sahiwal cattle to determine the effects of feeding varying levels of negative DCAD. For this purpose, twenty pregnant cows (at the 250th day of gestation) were selected an...

The current trend of the investigation of the chemistry of nutrition is emphasizing the significance of the amino-acids as the fundamental factors in all problems in which hitherto the r61e of proteins has been involved. The remarkable success which has at’tended the efforts to supplant completely the proteins in the food intake by their ultimate products of hydrolysis-the so-called amino-acid ...

Single and multiple Xaa----Ala substitutions were constructed in the alpha-helix comprising residues 39-50 in bacteriophage T4 lysozyme. The variant with alanines at 10 consecutive positions (A40-49) folds normally and has activity essentially the same as wild type, although it is less stable. The crystal structure of this polyalanine mutant displays no significant change in the main-chain atom...

1. A study of ammonia and urea metabolism in sheep was made using isotope dilution techniques with (15NH4)2SO4,[15N]urea and [14C]urea in order to determine quantitatively the movements of urea-N and NH3-N throughout the body of normal, feeding sheep. 2. Single injections of 15N-labelled compounds were made into the rumen fluid NH3, caecal fluid NH3 and the blood urea pools, in order to estimat...

Phenotypic reversion of six independent Saccharomyces cerevisiae cho1 mutants was shown to be due predominantly to mutation of an unlinked gene, eam1. The eam1 gene was located very close to ino1 on chromosome X by meiotic tetrad analysis. Recessive eam1 mutations did not correct the primary cho1 defect in phosphatidylserine synthesis but made endogenous ethanolamine available for sustained nit...
