Make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh, make 'em laugh

Article Abstract:

The Goofus and Gallant technique uses humor and interactive techniques to prepare employees for the audit. The dryness of the auditing process is sought to be eliminated through imaginative presentations that catch the employees' attention. Videotaped training sessions based on the characters of Goofus and Gallant use real audit situations and instances from internal audits to incite employees to the goodness of the auditing process. The success of the technique derives from its inherent humor through devices such as exaggeration, role playing, and association.

The reaction cycle of isopenicillin N synthase observed by X-ray diffraction

Article Abstract:

Research involving the direct oxygenation of anaerobically grown crystals of isopenicillin N synthase, a non-haem iron-dependent oxidase, complexed with Fe2+ and substrates, then structural analysis by X-ray crystallography, supports the hypothesis of a two-stage reaction sequence leading to penicillin. The most simple explanation for the formation of a monocyclic sulphoxide product from delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-L-S-methylcysteine is the interception of a high-valency iron-oxo species.
