Spectral Tuning of Shortwave-sensitive Visual Pigments in Vertebrates[dagger]
|
ABSTRACT
Of the four classes of vertebrate cone visual pigments, the shortwave-sensitive SWS1 class shows some of the largest shifts in λ^sub max^, with values ranging in different species from 390-435 nm in the violet region of the spectrum to <360 nm in the ultraviolet. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the ancestral pigment most probably had a λ^sub max^ in the UV and that shifts between violet and UV have occurred many times during evolution. In violet-sensitive (VS...

Using Trypsin & Soybean Trypsin Inhibitor To Teach Principles of Enzyme Kinetics
The American Biology Teacher
; Trypsin and soybean trypsin inhibitor (Kunitz inhibitor) can be used in a relatively simple and inexpensive student exercise to demonstrate the usefulness of enzyme kinetics. The study of enzyme kinetics is essential to biology because enzymes play such a crucial role in the biochemical pathways of
