The catalytic activity and amino acid specificity of the tomato Pto and Fen kinases were investigated. The Pto and Fen genes were fused to the carboxyl terminus of the maltose-binding protein and expressed in Escbericbia coli. lncubation of the purified fusion proteins with [y-3ZP]ATP in an in vitro assay showed that both proteins were capable of autophosphorylation. Mutant fusion proteins in w...

Predicted daily fluxes from an ecosystem model for water, carbon dioxide, and methane were compared with 1994 and 1996 Boreal Ecosystem–Atmosphere Study (BOREAS) field measurements at sites dominated by old black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) (OBS) and boreal fen vegetation near Thompson, Man. Model settings for simulating daily changes in water table depth (WTD) for both sites were design...

TO THE EDITOR—The report on the intrinsic antimycobacterial activity of ibupro-fen and low-dose aspirin in a novel murine tuberculosis model is fascinating

Eğitim en genel olarak “bireyin davranışlarında olumlu yönde istendik davranış değişikliği meydana getirme süreci” tarif edilmektedir. öğretim faaliyetlerinin birincil ve temel amacı bireyin değişiklik getirebilmektir. Bu amaca ulaşamayan eğitim başarısı eleştiri tartışma konusudur. Şiddet ise öğrenilmiş, olumsuz bir davranıştır. Eğer öğrenilmişse bunun yoluyla davranışla değiştirilmesi mümkünd...

The present study was conducted in order to investigate the relationships between central noradrenergic (NA) and serotonergic (5-HT) function and clinical characteristics of a major depressive episode according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. We measured growth hormone response (ΔGH) to clonidine (CLO) (an α2 NA agonist), as an index of central NA f...

FENs (flap endonucleases) and related FEN-like enzymes [EXO-1 (exonuclease-1), GEN-1 (gap endonuclease 1) and XPG (xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G)] are a family of bivalent-metal-ion-dependent nucleases that catalyse structure-specific hydrolysis of DNA duplex-containing nucleic acid structures during DNA replication, repair and recombination. In the case of FENs, the ability to ...

This study aimed to determine the opinions of prospective science teachers about qualifications that a teaching material should have. Qualitative research was conducted with 31 participants from 15 different universities. Data were collected through semi-structured interview form. The form applied face-to-face after training organized increase pre-service teacher's knowledge and skills on integ...
