Functional analysis and recombinant expression of a sea urchin G-string binding factor
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The sea urchin G-string binding factor 1 (suGF1) has previously been shown to bind with
high affinity and selectivity to stretches of contiguous deoxyguanosine residues, a DNA
motif found in the upstream ...
Cloning and identification of genes involved in the interaction between the bacterial stone fruit pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain NV and plum trees
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-03)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Bacterial canker of stone fruit, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae, is one of
the most destructive crop diseases in South Africa. Chemical control has failed completely
and effective long-term ...
An investigation of the interactions of the androgen receptor with a non-steroidal compound and two synthetic progestins
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis was to define the interactions of the androgen receptor
(AR) with an analog of a non-steroidal plant compound, Compound A (CpdA), as
well as two synthetic progestins, medroxyprogesterone ...
Isolation and characterisation of a polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP) and its encoding gene from Vitis vinifera L.
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2001-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Polygalacturonase-inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) are present in the cell walls of a variety
of plant species. These proteins have been shown to specifically inhibit
endopolygalacturonases (endo-PGs) ...
Investigation of glucocorticoid and dissociated glucocorticoid activity in hepatoma cell lines with specific reference to regulation of the corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) proximal promoter'
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study investigated the effect of several hormones on the rat corticosteroid binding
globulin proximal promotor and for the first time showed that modulation occurs at the
promotor level and can ...

b) Re-engineering / development of a new method for ...
Sequence analysis of a Cowdria ruminantium lamdba (sic) GEM-11 clone
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2002-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Heartwater is a major threat to livestock in Africa due to its high mortality rate. The
intracellular nature of the causative organism, Cowdria ruminantium, makes it difficult to
study, hence an effective ...

(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study describes:
a) the optimization of the current industrial-scale extraction and purification of Horseradish
peroxidase from horseradish at BBI Enzymes, focussing on:
a. Raw material quality,
b. ...
Changes in cell surface and metabolism associated with strains of Listeria monocytogenes displaying different sensitivities to class IIa bacteriocins
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2003-12)
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The possible use of the bacterially produced antimicrobial peptides, and in particular class IIa
bacteriocins as food preservatives is a motivating factor in studies on resistance to them by
food-borne ...
