Universiti Pertanian Malaysia was established in 1971 as a result of the merger between the College of Agriculture, Malaya and the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Malaya. The Library of the College of Agriculture, Malaya thus became the Universiti Pertanian Malaysia Library. When the university was named as Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 1997, the Library became the Universiti Putra Malaysia Library. As of 23rd May 2002, the Library has been named as Perpustakaan Sultan Abdul Samad (PSAS), Universiti Putra Malaysia, after the late gre [...]

Calmodulin was isolated from the hepatopancreas of Achatina fulica by phenyl-Sepharose affinity column chromatography. Calmodulin accounted for 1.2 of the total protein in the heat-treated extract. It has a molecular weight of 16 800 and pI value of 3.9. Mobility studies revealed that the protein migrated faster in the presence of EGTA than it did in the presence of calcium ions under non-denaturing electrophoretic conditions. Absorption spectral scan of the purified protein showed peaks at 259, 265, 268 and 278 nm. Upon incubation of the purified calmodulin with the ovatesticular microsomal fraction in the presence of various factors such as calcium, EGTA and trifluoperazine it was evident that calmodulin in the presence of calcium ions increased the production of testosterone by almost 2.5-fold but had little or no effect on the production of other steroids
