The last steps of the biosynthesis of mycolic acids, essential and specific lipids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and related bacteria, are catalyzed by proteins encoded by the fadD32-pks13-accD4 cluster. Here, we produced and purified an active form of the Pks13 polyketide synthase, with a phosphopantetheinyl (P-pant) arm at both positions Ser-55 and Ser-1266 of its two acyl carrier protein (AC...

In this paper, the concept of compatibility of type (A) and weak compatibility in Menger space has been applied to prove a common fixed point theorem for six self maps which generalizes the result of Pant et. al. [8].

An accurate and reproducible UV-spectrophotometric methods and liquid chromatographic assay method were developed and validated for the determination of mosapride and pantaprazole in capsule formulation. Two wavelengths were selected for each UV method, first simultaneous equation 274 nm, 288.2 nm and second Q value analysis method 274 nm, 302 nm was the isobestic point for both the drugs. The ...

In the present study Satellite Image Processing (SIP) technique is applied on ASTER (Advance Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer) satellite image. A comprehensive spectral library of rice crop varieties: Hybrid-6129 (IET 18815), Pant Dhan-19 (IET 17544), Pusa Basmati-1 (IET-18990) and Pant Dhan-18 (IET-17920) has been developed with Blue (0.56 nm), Red (0.66 nm) and NIR (0.81 ...

Recombination was used to construct 22 two- or three-way combinations of down- and up-mutations in Pant, a strong, near-consensus promoter of phage P22. The relative strengths of these promoters in vivo were assayed by fusing them to an ant/lacZ gene fusion and measuring beta-galactosidase levels produced by lysogens carrying the fusions on single-copy prophages. The results of these assays sho...

Since it is necessary for leg bags to be emptied several times daily, independence in urinary drainage is essential if a quadriplegic person is to be left unattended for more than a few hours, This goal is often overlooked, however, in an initial rehabi Ii tation program. Conventional approaches to leg bag emptying involve lifting the leg ontoa toilet seat or leaning down to empty the bag into ...
