ATTEMPTS have been made to classify the phenolases into groups such as the catechol oxidases, tyrosinases, and laccases [Raper, 1928], but the classification is made difficult by the lack of satisfactory methods of characterising the enzymes [Onslow and Robinson, 1928]. The present work was undertaken with the object of testing whether the catechol oxidases of different origin behave similarly ...

This currently monotypic genus is entirely restricted to South America, with no known representatives in Central or North America. Prior to this work, Schaus (1928) and subsequent lists of the family (Gaede 1931, Becker 1996) have menti...

Attention will accordingly be devoted particularly to those aspects of virology of nterest in medicine. (This is the more appropriate as this symposium has been organized in honour of Sir Charles Stuart-Harris, who has so...

We present the results of photometric measurements from images of the LMC globular clusters NGC 1928, 1939 and Reticulum taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope. Exposures through the F555W and F814W filters result in high accuracy colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) for these three clusters. This is the first time that CMDs for NGC 1928 and 1939 have been publishe...
