Effect of undernutrition on some biochemical aspects of developing rat brain
Undernutrition in suckling rat pups was induced by increasing the litter size. The control group contained 6 pups per mother, while the undernourished group contained 16-18 pups per mother until weaning (21 days of age). ... -
Enzymes involved in hydroxylations : Inborn errors of metabolism involving Hydroxylation defects & mechanism of aromatic aminoacid Hydroxylations
The present studies represent an attempt at inter-institutional collaboration between the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore and the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Bangalore. The investigations ... -

Reaction of O-Quinones with methionine and its application in the chemical modification in the chemical modification of Enzyme ribonuclease A
The present work has its origin in a recent report describing a new reaction of o-benzoquinone (oBQ) with the thioether group of methionine. The reactions of o-quinones, in general, with proteins have great biological ... -
Isolation of a ribonucleus from grain sorghum (Sorghum vulgare pers) and initial studies on its physico-chemical properties and mode of action
The present thesis is concerned with the detection, isolation and characterization of a ribonuclease from a cereal, namely grain sorghum (Sorghum vulgare Pers.). Grain sorghum is a very important cereal forming the staple ... -
Studies on APO-beta-cartoenals and related compounds
The existence of an aesthetically fascinating group of organisms, the fruiting myxobacteria, was first recognised by Thaxter (309). He studied carefully the life cycles of six species of this group and found them to be ... -

Studies on fluorine and fluorine poisoning
Synopsis of the thesis titled Studies on Fluorine and Fluorine Poisoning, with a chapter each on (i) constitution of bone salt and tricalcium phosphate, and (ii) mechanism of calcification, submitted by T. K. Wadhwani for ... -
Metabolism of water soluble vitamins : studies on enzymes from mung bean (phasseolus radiatus) seedlings, hydrolyzing coenzyme nucleotides
The levels of coenzyme nucleotides can be controlled by the availability of the vitamin in the diet, by environmental conditions such as availability of oxygen or metal ions, by regulation of the enzymes involved in their ... -

Chemical and biochemical studies on3-dehydrovitamkn A and its derivatives
Vitamin A and dehydrovitamin A are, in appropriate species, fully effective. Thus, neither theionone ring nor the dehydroionone ring is fully specific to the action of vitamin A. Oxidation at the terminal side chain end ...
