Screening of natural products and alkylating agents for antineoplastic activity
(2007)
Apoptosis is a process in which a cell programmes its own death. It is a highly organized physiological mechanism in which injured or damaged cells are destroyed. Apart from physiological stimuli however, exogenous factors ...

Spartial distribution of cyanobacterial phylotypes in Antarctic Dry Valley soil biotopes
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Recent advances in moleculr methods have enabled the analysis of cyanobacterial diversity using PCR- based approaches. Snap-shot techniques such as 16S rDNA library construction and DGGE have allowed for increased access ...
Engineering homoaromatic substrate specificity into aliphatic-specific Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8 nitrile hydratase
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
Geobacillus pallidus RAPc8 is a thermophilic nitrile-degrading isolate, obtained from thermal sediment samples of a New Zealand hot spring. The G. pallidus RAPc8 NHase gene has been cloned and expressed in E. coli. The ...
Analysis of the proteome of red and green leaf phenotypes of 'Bon Rouge' pear trees \trus communrls L. by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis
(University of the Western Cape, 2007)
The 'Bon Rouge' pear is a red pear cultivar derived from a rare, spontaneous bud
mutation which occurred on the green pear 'William's Bon Chretien' (Bartlett). 'Bon
Rouge' pear cultivar was observed to be reverting back ...
