This work is dedicated to protein purification. When we talk of proteins someone has rightly said "never waste pure thoughts on an impure protein." Nothing makes sense unless we are rellay working on pure protein. This book will be useful to the beginners of protein purification. The book systemetically illustrates the points to partially purify the protein alpha D mannosidae from Tomatao (Lycopersicon esculentum). The crude tomato has been used to isolate alpha D mannosidae.The book typically explains the basic details right from crushing of the crude tomato in liquid nitrogen to ammonium...

The geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrographs (GIUH) were developed to predict the direct runoff hydrograph from two hilly sub-watersheds of Ramganga catchment in Uttarakhand State of India. Based on the kinematic-wave theory, the topographic characteristics and Horton's stream-order-law ratios for the watersheds, the travel times for overland and stream-flows in a stream-ordering system of the watershed were analytically and probabilistically determined to develop the GIUH. The two-parameter Gamma-type model was also used to develop the GIUH for these watersheds. The performance of the...

Xylanase (Endo-1, 4-β-D-xylan, xylanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.8) is an important xylan degrading enzyme involved in the random cleavage of xylan to produce xylose, xylobiose and xylo-oligosaccharides. It is predominantly present in microbes and plants. This enzyme has been studied more extensively from fungal and bacterial sources and produced commercially. Its commercial applications in biobleaching paper pulp and increasing pulp brightness, biofueling, improving animal feed, bread making industry, fruit juice clarification are well known. The molecular structure and hydrolytic pattern of...
