Contribution of protein phosphorylation to binding-induced folding of the SLBP–histone mRNA complex probed by phosphorus-31 NMR
No full textAbstractPhosphorus-31 (31P) NMR can be used to characterize the structure and dynamics of phosphorylated proteins. Here, I use 31P NMR to report on the chemical nature of a phosphothreonine that lies in the RNA binding domain of SLBP (stem-loop binding protein). SLBP is an intrinsically disordered protein and phosphorylation at this threonine promotes the assembly of the SLBP–RNA complex. The data show that the 31P chemical shift can be a good spectroscopic probe for phosphate-coupled folding and binding processes in intrinsically disordered proteins, particularly where the phosphate exhibits torsional strain and is involved in a network of hydrogen-bonding interactions
Fundamental investigation of bio-surfactants-assisted harvesting strategy for microalgae
No full textThe lack of energy-sufficient harvesting technologies has dramatically impeded the commercialization of microalgae-derived bio-products. To address this challenge, a foam flotation harvesting approach using bio-surfactants has been previously developed for microalgae. However, most studies have applied chemical surfactants in the foam flotation, which is in opposition to the concept of sustainability. Thus, in this study, two bio-surfactants including rhamnolipid and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) were applied in foam flotation-assisted harvesting for Chlorella vulgaris. Initially, the ability of foam formation and foam stability in different microalgal culture media including distilled water, MiracleGro™, and Bold's Basal Medium (BBM) were evaluated. Following this, the microalgal cell adhesion mechanism was elucidated using FTIR analysis, zeta potential, and conductivity. The results showed that a higher degree of foam stability was observed when using BSA as the bio-surfactant than rhamnolipids. No big difference in the zeta potential was observed for BSA in all tested culture media, and the value of zeta potential was approx. 20 mV whereas, a difference was observed between rhamnolipid solution and rhamnolipid in culture media at all tested conditions. On the contrary, in the conductivity analysis, the use of rhamnolipids led to a higher conductivity at all investigated conditions compared to BSA. FTIR analysis suggested that the addition of either rhamnolipids or BSA did not affect the functionality. Overall, this fundamental study regarding the bio-surfactant-assisted foam flotation harvesting strategy for microalgae lays the foundation for process development.NSERCUniversity of Prince Edward Island (UPEI

Social Changes of Salt Pan Workers in Karippu Manigal
No full textThis Article deals with the novel “Karippu Manigal‟ which reflects the social changes in the lives of salt harvesters. The novel Karippu Manigal is the harrowing depiction of the lives of salt pan workers. Man’s fundamental needs are Food, Clothing, and Shelter which are produced by the working class, but their lives halts at the margin. A tamil proverbs goes like this, “Food without salt is waste”, which shows the immense use of salt in food. Though we enjoy the salt in food, we fail to know about the salt harvesters who produce that. Through this novel Rajam Krishnan portrays the appaling lives of workers in salt pans like their poor living condition, lower wages without proper standard income and their sufferings are not only constrained to money but also to physical illness such as young having grey hair at an early age, eye problems and many others. Author has also shown the other side of worker’s suffering due to employers and contractors. Rajam Krishnan clearly demonstrates that, without striving earnestly, social changes ain't possible. The objective of this dissertation is to show that only a revolution against capitalism will serve as a root cause for the social changes in the lives of salt harvesters which is proved through the novel “Karippu Manigal”
