PANDA Group

In 1963 a group of Swiss authors (12) isolated zizyphine from Zizyphus oenoplia and recognized isoleucine and proline as components. Two years later Zbiral etal. (13) proposed a complete structure which was later revised (14). Pais et al. (15) in an earlier preliminary report suggested the structure of pandamine which had been isolated from Panda oleosa. This was confirmed in 1966, and the structure of the similarly constituted pandamine was reported (17). Shortly thereafter Tschesche and co-workers (18) reported the structure of an alkaloid of this type scutianine-A from Scutia buxifolia. Since then the number of cyclopeptide alkaloids of known structure has risen to more than sixty, a figure which Klein and Rapoport had envisioned in 1968 (20). The workers at Gif-sur-Yvette and at Bonn have been in the forefront of these researches but others have made important contributions (19-26). 

EMBL—the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (Heidelberg) Nucleotide Sequence Database (also known as EMBL-Bank). The database is produced in an international collaboration with GenBank (USA) and the DNA Database of Japan (DDBJ). The EMBL nucleotide sequence database is part of the Protein and Nucleotide Database Group (PANDA). 

Other useful addresses, especially in the context of research on allergens in the fields of proteomics and genomics, are the databases on sequences of nucleotides corresponding to particular proteins or epitopes, e.g., The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Database—http //www.ebi.ac.uk/embl/Access/, or the Protein and Nucleotide Database Group (PANDA)—http //www.ebi.ac.uk/panda/ or the database Ensembl— http //www.ensembl.org/index.html, http //www.ebi.ac.uk/ensembl/. 

Other Pharmacological Activity In mice orally administered 40 or 100 mg/kg neem leaf extract daily for 20 days, animals in the higher dose group had a decrease in serum triiodothyronine (T3) and increased serum thyroxine (T4) concentrations. No significant alterations of Tj or T4 levels were observed in the lower dose group (Panda and Kar 2000).

There is a range of data available at national, LEA, whole-school, individual and group levels. These include Performance and Assessment (PANDA) data (including value added information), Standardised Assessment Tests and Cognitive Ability Tests, to name but a few.
