This paper considers the key instrumental components of intergovernmental fiscal relations in the Russian Federation – expenditures, revenues, transfers, borrowing, and institutional arrangements – in comparison both to Canada’s lengthy experience with federalism and to a framework developed on the basis of previous work on fiscal federalism in a variety of transitional and developing countries. .

We report here the draft genome sequence of the bacteriocin producer Enterococcus faecium strain L-3, isolated from a probiotic preparation, Laminolact, which is widely used in the Russian Federation. The draft genome sequence is composed of 74 contigs for a total of 2,643,001 bp, with 2,646 coding genes. Five clusters for bacteriocin production were found.

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are specific proteins that are able to lower the freezing point of aqueous solutions relative to the melting point. Hyperactive AFPs, identified in insects, have an especially high ability to depress the freezing point by far exceeding the abilities of other AFPs. In previous studies, we postulated that the activity of AFPs can be attributed to two distinct molecular ...

Galactose oxidase from Dactylium dendroides was shown to contain one molecule of covalently bound pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)/enzyme molecule. From the spectroscopic characteristics reported for the enzyme forms, a mechanistic role for PQQ could be deduced. In analogy with other quinoproteins, the initial formation of a PQQ-substrate adduct is proposed. Following internal hydrogen transfer, ...

The motion of linear and circular DNA molecules is studied under pressure driven buffer flow in a 50 nm slit channel with arrays of transverse 150 nm deep nanogrooves. Transport occurs through two states of propagation unique to this nanogroove geometry, a slow, stepwise groove-to-groove translation called the "sidewinder" and a fast, continuous tumbling across the grooves called the "tumblewee...
