Peptide hydrolases in senescing ragi leaves
Two peptide hydrolases — one active at pH 7.0 and the other at pH 3.4 (SH-dependent) were detected in ragi (Eleusine coracana Gaertn. cv. PR 202) leaves. The absolute activities of both acid and neutral peptide hydrolases were move or less stable in attached leaves and exhibited a mild rise in excised leaves, whereas the specific activities exhibited a

Modeling the architecture of depolymerase-containing receptor binding proteins in Klebsiella phages [PDF]
Klebsiella pneumoniae carries a thick polysaccharide capsule. This highly variable chemical structure plays an important role in its virulence. Many Klebsiella bacteriophages recognize this capsule with a receptor binding protein (RBP) that contains a ...
