Eco RII restriction endonuclease cleaves synthetic DNA-duplexes in which the recognition sites of this enzyme (5'...CCATGG...) are repeated every 9 base pairs with the alternating orientation of the central AT pair. It operates in a processive mode, i.e. the bound enzyme molecule slides along the substrate toward neighboring recognition sites. Nona-nucleotides are the main products of the cleavage. The data obtained neighboring recognition sites. Nona-nucleotides are the main products of the cleavage. The data obtained point to the capability of Eco RII endonuclease to recognize and cleave the substrate under both possible orientations of the central AT-pair of the recognition site with respect to the bound enzyme molecule. These data also show the close similarity of DNA structures in a complex with the enzyme and without.

Rising vulnerability of the urban green infrastructure (UGI) is grabbing global attention, for which inclusive urban landscape and greening policies (ULGP) and frameworks are crucial to support green growth. As such, this research intends to explore the local community's perspective to assemble sustainable UGI indicators for vital taxonomy of the urban green space (UGS) elements, aiming to develop a multi-functional and sustainable UGI-indicator-based framework that is eco-friendly and supports green-resilient cities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, Pakistan. An in-depth household survey was executed in three KP districts: Charsadda, Peshawar, and Mardan, placing self-administered 192 questionnaires while covering themes around climate change adaptation, urban resilience, and UGI.

Urban expansion and land cover change driven primarily by human activities have significant influences on the urban eco-environment, and together with climate change jointly alter net primary productivity (NPP). However, at the spatiotemporal scale, there has been limited quantitative analysis of the impacts of human activities independent of climate change on NPP. We chose Guangzhou city as a study area to analyze the impacts of human activities on NPP, as well as the spatiotemporal variations of those impacts within three segments, using a relative impact index (RII) based on potential NPP (NPP), actual NPP (NPP), and NPP appropriation due to land use/land cover change (NPP).

How restriction enzymes with their different specificities and mode of cleavage evolved has been a long standing question in evolutionary biology. We have recently shown that several Type II restriction endonucleases, namely SsoII (downward arrow CCNGG), PspGI (downward arrow CCWGG), Eco-RII (downward arrow CCWGG), NgoMIV (G downward arrow CCGGC), and Cfr10I (R downward arrow CCGGY), which recognize similar DNA sequences (as indicated, where the downward arrows denote cleavage position), share limited sequence similarity over an interrupted stretch of approximately 70 amino acid residues with MboI, a Type II restriction endonuclease from Moraxella bovis (Pingoud, V., Conzelmann, C.
