The contribution of His7.36(305) of the GnRH receptor to ligand binding and receptor activation

Bibliography: leaves 88-104.The current study was perfonned to give insights into the role of individual amino acid residues of both the GnRH receptor and the GnRH ligand in receptor function. A His7.36(3o5) residue on transmembrane helix seven of the GnRH receptor was investigated for its contribution to the overall function of the receptor

African Linguistics in Asia and Australia

Asian and Australian institutions with a research focus on African languages are of fairly recent vintage. Japan has a strong academic infrastructure devoted to African linguistics, based in several universities and research centres. China looks back more than 50 years of interest in teaching Swahili and other major African languages, recently broadening the scope to encompass other issues of linguistic interest. In South Korea, teaching Swahili was also the precursor of more general African linguistics, allowing for regional specializations of researchers. In Australia, academic interest emerges with the increasing presence of experts on African languages and linguistics in the country
