A soluble sheep lacrimal-gland peroxidase was purified to apparent homogeneity. It had a native molecular mass of 75 kDa with a subunit molecular mass of 82 kDa and an isoelectric point of 6.5. Western blotting showed that it shares some of the enzyme antigenic determinants in common with other soluble peroxidases. The enzyme exhibits a Soret peak at 410 nm which is shifted to 431 nm by 5 equiv...

Background: Accelerated ageing causes seeds to deteriorate that affect the seed quality of groundnut seeds. Seed deterioration will cause metabolic and chemical changes viz., lipid peroxidation autoxidation, leading loss membrane integrity enzyme activities. These are associated with reduced germination vigour. Methods: The cv. VRI 8 was subjected for accelerated at 40oC 100% RH upto 11 days ev...

this research investigate the potential of rhizobium leguminosarum b.v .phaseoli to improve growth and nutritional status of common bean (akhtar cultivar) at three levels of salinity of s0, s1 and s2 (0, 35 and 70 mm sodium chloride, or 0, 3 and 6 ds/m, respectively). the greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial design in randomized completely with three replications by using the ster...

understanding of physiological responses of salt tolerance might be lead to identify main salt tolerance mechanisms and essential approaches for improving grain yield stability, and also to select salt tolerant wheat cultivars. thus, the effects of salinity were investigated on grain yield and some of the characteristics related to salt tolerance. six wheat cultivars (roshan, kavir, karchia, ga...

The biochemistry of human semen is poorly understood, and despite initial studies by Mann (1964) little is known about the metabolism of spermatozoa1 cells, and even less about the seminal plasma. We have attempted the simultaneous purification of fumarase, peroxidase, diamine oxidase and adenosine deaminase from human seminal plasma, and compared the properties of these enzymes with those from...
