The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) is one of the two largest families of membrane transporters found on Earth. It is present ubiquitously in bacteria, archaea, and eukarya and includes members that can function by solute uniport, solute/cation symport, solute/cation antiport and/or solute/solute antiport with inwardly and/or outwardly directed polarity. All homologous MFS protein sequences...

This study was conducted in district Gujranwala with the major objective to identify factors impeding awareness level and adoption of weed management practices among farmers from Rice-Wheat, Rice-Potato, Rice-Maize Rice-Peas cropping systems. Total 356 farmers, selected through proportionate sampling technique four systems participated study. Data were collected a structured validated questionn...

Facilitators are oligonucleotides capable of affecting hammerhead ribozyme activity by interacting with the substrate at the termini of the ribozyme. Facilitator effects were determined in vitro using a system consisting of a ribozyme with 7 nucleotides in every stem sequence and two substrates with inverted facilitator binding sequences. The effects of 9mer and 12mer RNA as well as DNA facilit...

This paper is an extension of an earlier study that examined the factors influencing facilitators’ successful adaptation to a problem-based learning (PBL) environment. The current study focuses on the specific strategies employed by effective facilitators in the PBL classroom to promote critical thinking as well as collaborative and self-directed learning among learners. Republic Polytechnic’s ...
