Wild-type Salmonella typhimurium can use carnosine (,8-alanyl-L-histidine) as a source of histidine, but carnosine utilization is blocked in particular mutants defective in the constitutive enzyme peptidase D, the product of the pepD gene. Biochemical evidence for assigning carnosinase activity to peptidase D (a broadspecificity dipeptidase) includes: (i) coelution of carnosinase and dipeptidase activity from diethylaminoethyl-cellulose and Bio-Gel P-300 columns; (ii) coelectrophoresis of carnosinase and dipeptidase on polyacrylamide gels; and (iii) inactivation of carnosinase and dipeptidase activities at identical rates at both 4 and 42°C. Genetic evidence indicates that mutations leading to loss of carnosinase activity map at pepD. Several independent pepD mutants have been isolated by different selection procedures, and the patterns of peptide utilization of strains carrying various pepD alleles have been studied. Many pepD mutations lead to the production of partially active peptidase D enzymes with substrate specificities that differ strikingly from those of the wild-type enzyme. The growth yields of carnosinase-deficient strains growing in Difco nutrient broth indicate that carnosine is the major utilizable source of histidine in this medium.purity. The Gly-Pro-Ala produced only one ninhydrinpositive spot after descending paper chromatography with 72% phenol and 28% ammonia (4).

It is modernly debated whether application of the free will has potential to cause harm to nature. Power possessed to the discourse, sensory/perceptual, physical influences on life experience by the slow moving machinery of change is a viral element in the problems of civilization; failed resolution of historical paradox involving mind and matter is a recurring source of problems. Reference is taken from the writing of Euclid in which a oneness of nature as an indivisible point of thought is made prerequisite in criteria of interpretation to demonstrate that contemporary scientific methodologies alternately ensue from the point of empirically centered induction. A qualification for the conceptualization is proposed that involves a physically describable form bound to energy in addition to contemporary notions of energy bound to form and a visually based mathematical-physical form is elaborated and discussed with respect to biological and natural processes.

The theory of relativity (1) is considered form a perspective of folklore. Abstracted entities in the theory of relativity are stripped of units in order to provide explanation, to expose an ordinary meaning that employs a fulcrum for visual description. It is suggested that components of the theory"s construction are not only unusually compatible with the religious and spiritual but are also unaccounted for scientifically; they may not render the expected power struggle of church doctrine with scientific notions but an opposite situation in which logical contradiction at the root level of physical meaning and symbolism is absent and might exist only with respect to active perceptual structuring, either functioning on the unknown or belief. This situation, is projected to exist in a volatile mythological form as a "fulcrum" like bridge between points of dispersion in which the (invisible) entity of mass assumes an added social (or physical) weight imposed by the assumption of the existence of massless space; especially, should its" logically non excludable converse situation, of exclusively "mass and gravitational force containing space" for all phenomenon, find future explanation and validity. Discussion 3If one tries to visualize points of farthest dispersions of myths in attempts to correlate culture with history, hidden within the concept of geographical distance is the more rudimentary concept of distance. One might not avoid to consider lengths in terms of triangulations as he visualizes the transit by word of mouth or by written works the physical paths assumed in the migration of folklore, myths, and tales as they relate to culture. Consider the notion of "concept" itself as in theory and its" meaning. For example one might not find physical correlations for the idea of "color", but for a specific color. One might affirm the existence of "blue" for instance, and in the same breath cannot dispute the existence of color. but if he tries to image it cannot produce but particulars in example. In the world of mythology language and learning is rendered to familiar distances of relation to topics of meaning; the body of works seem to increase in "mass" with both temporal and physical distance to proximal relations. If one tries again to visualize entities from the theory of relativity, mass for instance, he can assume only images of colored objects, still unable to refuse the existence of the concept of mass. If one can exclude factors of time, replace them with a notions of distance, (mass also like time, cannot be visualized but for particulars of situations, but for the ones plus ones equals twos-one step per second for two seconds amounts to two steps along the brown earth) he arrives with a relation, analogy from the relation from the special theory of relativity, E=mc^2, of weight with respect to distance. On reading or with advanced study one might accept this associative description of the theory of relativity, in full form, a tentatively coherent mathematical rendition of the laws of nature as...
