| Abstract | Hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase hydrolyze fatty acids from triacylglycerols and are critical in the metabolism of circulating lipoproteins. The two lipases are similar in size and amino acid sequence but are distinguished by functional differences in substrate preference and cofactor requirement. Presumably, these distinctions result from structural differences in functional domains. To begin localization of these domains, a chimeric lipase was constructed composed of the N-terminal 329 residues of rat hepatic lipase linked to the C-terminal 136 residues of human lipoprotein lipase. The chimera hydrolyzed both monodisperse short-chain (esterase) and emulsified long-chain (lipase) triacylglycerol substrates with catalytic and kinetic properties closely resembling those of native hepatic lipase. However, monoclonal antibodies to lipoprotein lipase inhibited the lipase activity, but not the esterase function, of the chimera. Therefore, the chimeric molecule is a functional lipase and contains elements and characteristics from both parental enzymes. It is proposed that the N-terminal domain, containing the active center from hepatic lipase, governs the catalytic character of the chimera, and the C-terminal domain is essential for hydrolysis of long-chain substrates. |

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.
