The opportunity to design enzymatic systems is becoming more feasible due to detailed knowledge of the structure of many proteins. As a first step, investigations have aimed to redesign already existing systems, so that they can performa function different from the one for which they were syn-thesized. We have investigated the interaction of electron transfer proteins fromdifferent systems inorder to check the possibility of heterologous reconstitution among members of different chains.

The cloning of two novel genes that encode cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) in barley is described in this work. Transformation of both genes intoArabidopsisand tobacco showed that at least one of the genes codes for a functional enzyme, as its expression caused a cytokinin-deficient phenotype in the heterologous host plants. Addi-tional cloning of two gene fragments, and anin silicosearch in the public expressed sequence tag clone databases, revealed the presence of at least 13 more members of the CKXgene family in barley and wheat. ...

The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) family was for more than 25 years assumed to consist of only PDGF-A and -B. The discovery of the novel family members PDGF-C and PDGF-D triggered a search for novel activities and complementary fine tuning between the members of this fam-ily of growth factors.

Although essentially unknown, several functions are hypothesized for neu-roglobin and cytoglobin, two new members of the globin family. In this article, we try to shed more light on their possible roles in hypoxia and detoxification of reactive oxygen speciesin vivo. Thijs

S100 proteins and annexins both constitute groups of Ca 2+ -binding pro-teins, each of which comprises more than 10 members. S100 proteins are small, dimeric, EF-hand-type Ca 2+ -binding proteins that exert both intra-cellular and extracellular functions.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) offers the possibility of increased customer service while minimizing costs. Before choosing what type of supply chain strategy to pursue, a firm must first evaluate the type of supply chain(s) in which it participates. The type of functional strategies chosen should complement the type of supply chain(s) in which the firm is a member. Certain manufacturing and logistics strategies are more appropriate given the characteristics of the supply chain.
