| Abstract | Human tryptophan hydroxylase has been expressed as a soluble and active form in Escherichia coli by fusion with an affinity tag, maltose-binding protein. The fusion protein has been purified to near homogeneity by affinity chromatography on crosslinked amylose resin. The purified fusion protein has a specific activity of 86 nmol of 5-hydroxytryptophan per min per mg of fusion protein. A series of truncation mutants have also been made to explore the domain organization of tryptophan hydroxylase. All deletion mutants were subject to affinity purification and kinetic characterization. While removal of the N-terminal 164 amino acids completely inactivates the enzyme, deletion of the first 91 residues results in a 7-fold reduction in specific activity. From the C terminus, deletion of 36, 55, or 112 amino acids abolishes the activity, whereas deletion of 19 residues decreases the specific activity by approximately 11-fold. These results are consistent with a model for tryptophan hydroxylase in which the enzyme consists of an N-terminal regulatory domain, a catalytic core, and a small C-terminal region of uncertain but important function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
