In the previous papers of this series (1, 2), some of the properties of purified mung bean cytochrome b-555 have been described. The present investigation was undertaken to gain some information on the chemical structure of this hemoprotein. The size, amino acid composition, and terminal amino acids of cytochrome b-555 have been examined; the nature of the binding between heme and protein has a...

Bush bean, long bean, mung bean, and winged bean plants were grown with N fertilizer at rates of 0, 2, 4, and 6 g N m(-2) preceding rice planting. Concurrently, rice was grown with N fertilizer at rates of 0, 4, 8, and 12 g N m(-2). No chemical fertilizer was used in the 2nd year of crop to estimate the nitrogen agronomic efficiency (NAE), nitrogen recovery efficiency (NRE), N uptake, and rice ...

Availability and uptake of heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Fe, Al, Cr, Ni) by mung bean grown on coal mine spoil was studied. The experiment was carried out as a pot culture experiment using garden soil and different proportion of coal mine spoil. The heavy metals were transported to roots then shoot and were found in traces in the fruits. No toxicity symptom was reported during vegetative as well as rep...

An indirect high resolution method has been developed for finding the location of intrastrand crosslinks in RNA. An end-labeled DNA strand that overlaps the approximate crosslink position is hybridized to the RNA and then treated with mung bean nuclease. The resulting digest is analyzed on a sequencing-type gel. The method was tested with the major psoralen crosslink seen in the 16S rRNA of ina...

Yogurt is one of the most popular fermented dairy products worldwide, with huge consumer acceptance due to its health benefits. While shelf life still relatively low, freeze-drying could extend yogurt. Other non-milk raw materials that can be an alternative substrate in yogurt are local Indonesian beans, namely Mung bean and Garut red bean. Additionally, added fiber- carbohydrate-rich Manonjaya...
