Effect of the Length of Antisense RNA on Bacterial Enzyme Production
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Antisense RNA molecules for the beta-galactosidase enzyme of E. coli and the urease enzyme of Proteus vulgaris were synthesized using the polymerase chain reaction. The artificial genes were designed to produce single stranded RNA molecules complementary to various lengths of the 5’ end of the messenger RNA molecules of the two bacterial enzymes. Four different antisense RNA molecules for each enzyme were …

Effect of Complexation of Copper with a Preferred Amino acid of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3558 on its Metabolism
Abstract: The present work studies the effect on the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3558when copper sulphate pentahydrate is complexed with a preferred amino acid of S.cerevisiaeNCIM. The study showed the fact that not only the amino acid or ligand but also the metal ioninvolved is an important factor for the biological effects of ligand–metal complexes effects onyeast metabolism per se. Studies are elaborated extensively.Keywords: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glutamine copper, antagonist, glucose …
