I hope i wouldn say both sides are bad, either. That not a great message i agree. I desperately want to believe the factional fighting in any direction is from a minority and that the majority of us look at all of it, from any position, with horror.

TGases (transglutaminases) are a class of calcium dependent enzymes that catalyse the interactions between acyl acceptor glutamyl residues and amine donors, potentially making crosslinks between proteins. To assess the activity of apple (Malus domestica) pollen TGase on the functional properties of actin and tubulin, TGase was prepared from apple pollen by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and assayed on actin and tubulin purified from the same cell type. The enzyme catalysed the incorporation of putrescine in the cytoskeleton monomers.
