A protein is a large, complex macromolecule composed of one or more long chains of amino acids. Proteins are 15-25% nitrogen and an equal amount of oxygen, and are present in and vital to every living cell. They are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. As a matter of fact, proteins hold together, protect, and provide structure to the body of a multi-celled organism furthermore, they are responsible for catalyzing and regulating the body chemistry. yte, before frederick sanger one of only two people to ever receiver two Nobel prizes in the same category little was known about proteins and the sequence of their amino acid chains Frederick sanger graduated with a doctorate in biochemistry from st. John's college in 1943, where he had spent three years resear4ching the metabolism of the amino acid lysine. yet, it wasn't until his work with insulin that sanger differentiated himself in the field of chemistry. His first true accomplishment occurred when he successfully determined the complete amino acid sequence of the two polypeptide chains of bovine insulin A and Bin the early 1950s. His research proved that proteins have a defined chemical composition, and he ultimately concluded that every protein had a unique sequence. In 1958, sanger wasawarded the Nobel prize in chemistry for showing howamino acids link together to form insulin and therefore, providing the tools for scientists to analyze any protein inthe body. Much later, after his retirement, he would describe himself as just a chap who messed about in a lab." Four years later, sanger took a position as the head of the protein chemistry Division on the midical research council, where he began to work on the sequencing of ribonucleic acid. He developed methods for separating ribonucleotide fragments generated with specific nucleases which triggeree the discovery of formylmethionine tRNA. responsible for initiating protein synthesis bin bacteria. yet his earlier work with insulin helped him to form and deliberate on ideas of how DNA codes for proteins When he turned to sequencing DAN-the blue print like molecule that carries the genetic instructions for all living organisms -sanger collaborated with alan coulson to publish the plus and Minus Technique, " a sequenceing procedure he developed to determine the order of the chemical bases adenin, thymine, guanine, and cytosine which spell out the genetic code for all living things.

Four years later, sanger took a position as the head of the protein chemistry Division on the midical research council, where he began to work on the sequencing of ribonucleic acid. He developed methods for separating ribonucleotide fragments generated with specific nucleases which triggeree the discovery of formylmethionine tRNA. responsible for initiating protein synthesis bin bacteria. yet his earlier work with insulin helped him to form and deliberate on ideas of how DNA codes for proteins When he turned to sequencing DAN-the blue print like molecule that carries the genetic instructions for all living organisms -sanger collaborated with alan coulson to publish the plus and Minus Technique, " a sequenceing procedure he developed to determine the order of the chemical bases adenin, thymine, guanine, and cytosine which spell out the genetic code for all living things. When he devised a more efficient method for readint the molecular letters that make up the genetic code in 1977, he christened it the Sanger Method." The " sanger method" allows long stretches iof DNA to be rapidly adn accurately sequenced, which earned him his second Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1980. He employed his invention to decipher the sixteen thousand letters of mitochondria. More significantly, this method eventually allowed scientists to decode the three biollion letters of the human genetic code, givng secienc the ability todistinguish between normal and abnormal genes. In the sam way, sanger's wrom directly contributed to the development of biotechnology drugs like human growth hormone. In 1986, the celebrated chemist accepted an order of Merit. Shortly after, he helped open te sanger institue outside of cambridge, which is now one of the world's largest genomic research centers sanger died in November 2013, his obituary documented his supereme modesty in an autobiographical account of himself as academically not brilliant. " At any rate, sanger research prompted the decoding of the human genome. (Q) 25.

And it's impossible for me not to marry. In the first place, I'm already 35—a critical age, so to speak. In the second place, I ought to lead a quiet and regular life. I suffer from palpitations, I'm excitable and always getting awfully upset, at this very moment my lips are trembling, and there's a twitch in my right eyebrow. But the very worst of all is the way I sleep. I no sooner get into bed and begin to go off, when suddenly something in my left side gives a pull, and I can feel it in my shoulder and head... I jump up like a lunatic, walk about a bit and die down again, but as soon as I begin to get off to sleep there's another pull! And this may happen twenty times... Why does Lomov think it impossible not to marry? |
Answer» Solution :Lomov STANDS at a critical age. He is already THIRTY five. For a MAN of his age, it is almost impossible not to marry. For leading a QUIET and regular life, he must marry without any further delay. | |

"Ausable did not fit any description of a secret agent Fowler had ever read." What do secret agents in books and films look like, in your opinion? Discuss in groups or in class some stories or movies featuring spies, detectives and secret agents, and compare their appearance with that of Ausable in this story. (You may mention characters from fiction in languages other than English. In English fiction you may have come across Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, or Miss Marple. Have you watched any movies featuring James Bond?) |
Answer» Solution :DEFINITELY, Ausable didn.t fit any description of a secret agent. FOWLER, a young and romantic writer was RATHER disappointed to see such a fat and sloppy man as a secret agent. In books and films, the secret agents are exceptionally smart. They are well dressed. They move about in long and costly cars. They usually have a hat on their HEADS, wear black goggles. They wear long coats and gloves in their hands. They are always surrounded by .darkeyed. beauties. They shoot more often than they talk. Fowler is disappointed because he finds no such quality of a secret agent in Ausable. In English fiction, we come across such smart and SHARP characters like Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Yes, I have watched movies featuring James Bond. Films like .Dr. No., .Goldfish., 007 with Love. which present secret agents with exceptionally sharp features and minds. |

Answer» Solution :Bholi.s real name is Sulekha. In Hindi, “Su. means good and .lekha. means a WRITER. So Sulekha means a woman who writes with a good hand. But unfortunately Sulekha became Bholi, the simpleton. Once a fair and beautiful GIRL became disfigured with pock-marks with all over the body due to an ATTACK of small-pox. She also damaged a part of the brain when she fell off the cot. So the girl was called .Bholi. or .witless.. Apart from at the very beginning of the story, the word “Sulekha. comes only at the end of the story. But here, the word is used in the proper context. The writer, K.A. Abbas, wants to highlight that Bholi is no more Bholi the simpleton, but she has transformed herself into .Sulekha., an educated girl with a beautiful handwriting.

1. The two great epics of ancient India – The Ramayana and the Mahabharata - probably took shapein the course of several hundred years, and even subsequently, additions were made to them. They deal with the early days of the Indo-Aryans, their conquests and civil wars, when they were expanding and consolidating themselves, but they were composed and compiled later. I do not know of any books anywhere which have exercises such a continuous and pervasive influence on the mass mind as these two. Dating back to a remote antiquity, they are still a living force in the life of the Indian people. Not in the original Sanskrit, except for a few intellectuals, but in translations and adaptations, and in those innumerable ways in which tradition and legend spread and become a part of the texture of a person's life. They represent the typical Indian method of catering all together for various degrees of cultural development, from the highest intellectual to the simple unread and untaught villager. They make us understand somewhat the secret of the old Indians in holding together a variegated society divided up in many ways and graded in castes, in harmonising their discords, and giving them a common background of heroic tradition and ethical living. Deliberately, they tried to build up a unity of outlook among the people, which was to survive and overshadow all diversity. 2. Among the earliest memories of my childhood are the stories from these epics told to me by my mother or the older ladies of the house, just as a child in Europe or America might listen to fairy tales or stories of adventure. There was for me both adventure and the fairy element in them. And, then, I used to be taken every year to the popular, open-air performances where the Ramayana story was enacted and vast crowds came to see it and join in the processions. It was all very crude, but that did not matter, for everyone knew the story by heart and it was carnival time.On the basis of your reading of the above passage answer thequestion: In the stories, the narrator enjoyed: |

1. A couple of weeks ago, while detailing the many ways in which coping with the bleak economycan actually better our lives, I touched upon the romance of train travel and suggested that wewould do well to introduce our children to its charms.2. I have to confess that I was surprised by the kind of response triggered from readers with storiesto tell of their own rail adventures.3. Browsing through them reminded me yet again why trains have such a special place in our lives.Well, perhaps not in the lives of a generation brought up on the dubious pleasures of cheap air travel.4. I still vividly recall every detail of my first such excursion, taking a train from Sealdah stationin Calcutta to visit my aunt's tea garden in Assam. I settled down at my window seat and evenbefore the train had pulled out, I was burrowing deep into the pleasures of Indian mythology.5. But as the scene outside grew more rustic, even picturesque, my attention wandered to the marvellous moving display outside my window. There were gently rolling fields, green andlush, more palm trees than I could count and endless expanse of bright blue sky.6. Just then, a man entered my peripheral vision. Scythe in hand, he was intently cutting downsome tall grass in the fields. “Oh look," I cried out to my mother, “It's a farmer, a real-life farmer!” A city-bred child, I hadn't realised until then that farmers actually had an independentexistence outside of my storybooks.7.
