✦ Synopsis

Limb profiles from Voyager 2 images of Triton show it to be an ellipsoid of axes 1354.6, 1352.8, and 1352.4 km (Β±0.9 km). Topography on the limbs suggests no large provinces such as "continents" with relief over a kilometer. The shape solution is not accurate enough to constrain Triton's moments of inertia. The apparently relaxed shape is consistent with the youthful geologic features and supports interpretations that atmospheric distortion suggested by occultation data is due to atmospheric phenomena rather than physical body distortions.

Photo-electric observations of the intensity profile of a sunspot at a heliocentric angle of 76 ~ at four wavelengths are reported. An intensity peak at the centre-side penumbra-photosphere border predicted by Jensen et al. (1969) has been observed. Several papers have recently been published in th

## Abstract Bromelain inhibitor VI (BI‐VI) is a cysteine proteinase inhibitor from pineapple stem and a unique two‐chain inhibitor composed of two distinct domains. BI‐VI's inhibitory activity toward the target enzyme bromelain is maximal at pH 4 and shows a bell‐shaped pH profile with p__K__~a~ va
