Stereochemical and mechanistic studies of amino acid metabolising enzymes
No full textThe stereochemical and mechanistic features of the reactions catalysed by two pyridoxal-5'-phosphate dependent enzymes, aspartate aminotransferase (AAT) and methionine decarboxylase, and by /9-methylaspartase have been examined.Chemical and enzymic approaches to the synthesis of 3- halogcnoaspartic acids, potential inhibitors for mammalian cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase were investigated. A convenient one step enzymic synthesis of (2R,3S)-3-chloroaspartic acid is described. (2R,3S)-3-Chloroaspartic acid was found to act as a Kcat inhibitor for AAT and a possible mechanism for inhibition is proposed.The stereochemical courses of the decarboxylation reaction catalysed by two methionine decarboxylase isoenzymes, one from the male fern and one from a streptomyces sp. were studied. Camphanamide derivatives of the deuteriated amine products, and the corresponding reference samples, were prepared. Both enzymes catalyse decarboxylation with retention of configuration at Cat. The chiral reference samples were synthesised from (2S)- and (2R)-[4-2Hi]- f-aminobutyric acids.The fern decarboxylase is able to utilise L-valine as a substrate, and it was expected that replacement of each methyl group of valine by a bromine atom would yield a suicide substrate. The potential inhibitors (2R.3S)- and (2R,3R)-3- bromobutyric acid were synthesised. Both of the compounds were found to be suicide inhibitors for methionine decarboxylase./9-Methylaspartase, an enzyme from clostridium tetanomorphwn has been used in the enantiospecific synthesis of highly functionalised 3-alky 1 and 3-halogenoaspartic acids. The precursors, 3-substituted fumaric acids were prepared and were incubated with the enzyme in the presence of high concentrations of ammonia to give the corresponding 3-substituted amino acids in good to excellent yields. The stereochemical course of these retro-physiological reactions has been determined. For each substrate nitrogen approaches from the C-2- si-face of the fumaric acid (the spatially equivalent re-face of the halogeno substrates) to give the anti- addition product. By conduction the experiment in deuterium oxide, the 3-deuteriated products were produced with a greater than 95 atom% of deuterium at C-3. The synthesis of chirally deuteriated aspartic acids by this method gives yields 2 to 3 times higher than that reported in the literature. These compounds have been used in kinetic studies.Together with Dr.N.P.Botting, a post-doctoral research fellow in our laboratory, the rates for the forward and reverse reaction for a range of sub-strate^roduct pairs have been determined. The primary deuterium isotope effects on V and V/K were determined for aspartic, 3-methyl and 3-ethylaspartic acid and were found to be 1.0, 1.7 and 1.2 respectively. Differential 16N-isotope effects were also observed for these substrates. The results are discussed in terms of a change in mechanism with substrate structure. (DX84433)</p
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
X-efficiency Analysis of Commercial Banks in Pakistan: A Preliminary Investigation
No full textThe emergence of a fast-paced dynamic environment in the business world in general, and in the financial services sector in particular, has highlighted the significance of competition and efficiency. The need for deregulation has become a touchstone of success in fostering both competition and efficiency especially in the economies, which are exposed to structural reforms. In addition to that, intense competition both among domestic and foreign banks, rapid speed of innovations and introduction of new financial instruments, changing consumer’s demands and desire for product augmentation have changed the way a bank conducts business and services its customers. Larger the degree of competition, it is perceived that the firms would become more efficient. However, when the structure of an industry is product of the government regulations, the degree of competition is impaired markedly implying that the efficiency suffers negatively. Banking industry acts as life-blood of modern trade and commerce acting as a bridge to provide a major source of financial intermediation. Thus, appraisal of its efficiency is vital in context of an efficient and competitive financial system. Study of x-efficiency is believed to be important in particular as Berger, et al. (1993) found that x-inefficiencies account for around 20 percent or more of banking costs. Similarly, recent drive among banks towards downsizing, rightsizing and rationalisation of banking costs also implicates for the assessment of x-efficiency analysis of banks. It becomes vital in Pakistani context as there appears to be no study in literature on efficiency or x-efficiency analysis of banks in Pakistan. “A great deal more work is needed on x-efficiency research in banking. Managerial efficiency, the concept of x-efficiency, appears to be a much more important strategic and policy consideration” [Molyneux, et al. (1960), p. 273]. Given

Also By The Same Author: AKTiveAuthor, a Citation Graph Approach to Name Disambiguation
No full textThe desire for definitive data and the semantic web drive for inference over heterogeneous data sources requires co-reference resolution to be performed on those data. In particular, name disambiguation is required to allow accurate publication lists, citation counts and impact measures to be determined. This paper describes a graph-based approach to author disambiguation on large-scale citation networks. Using self-citation, co-authorship and document source analyses, AKTiveAuthor clusters papers, achieving precision of 0.997 and recall of 0.818 over a test group of eight surname clusters
John F. Kennedy telegram to Roosevelt
No full textJersey Homesteads (later the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whom had emigrated from Europe. President John F. Kennedy sent a telegram to the citizens of Roosevelt, New Jersey, apologizing for not being able to attend the memorial dedication in honor of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. (Jersey Homesteads became Roosevelt in 1945 in honor of the president.) President Kennedy expressed his gratitude to the people of Roosevelt for constructing the memorial, and commented that it will serve as a constant reminder of Roosevelt's good works
