Dr. R. Bruce Dunlap of USC has receiv6d a three-year cancer research grant of $84,000 from the National Institutes of Health to study two particular enzymes, both of which are related to the synthesis of DNA, the genetic material of life. "Every living cell has hundreds of enzymes which work to produce reactions within the cell," Dunlap explained. "The two enzymes I'm Interested in play an especially Important role in the formation of two compounds which in turn are incorporated into DNA. "If we could understand how and why these enzymes work to produce reactions within t'e cell," Dunlap explained. "The two en zymes I'm interested in play an Professor sa: developing i A "very tense situation is developing between India and Pakistan, but a war is not necessarily inevitable, Peter Sederberg USC political science professor said.

"If we could understand how and why these enzymes work the way they do, we would be a lot closer to controlling the growth of cells," he said. Cancer cells, Dunlap said, grow much more rapidly than normal cells and thus act "like a swarm of locusts" to rob normal cells of their needed nutrients. "If we could slow down the growth of cancer cells," he said, "we could diminish their effect on the organism." To obtain his enzymes in a purified state Dunlap grows bacteria which contain large amounts of the enzymes and then "cracks open the bacterial cells" to separate the enzymes. A scientific breakthrough less than two years ago, he said, enables researchers to isolate these two enzymes in a pure state. In an attempt to learn how the rs 'very tense between India, Pakistan ran short of supplies in a 1965 India clash. Nevertheless, both countries are building up troops along their borders, they admitted this week. "The continuing rebellion in East Pakistan is causing pressures for war in both countries, because of India's support of the Bengali rebels," Sederberg said. id.is your favor ur After all.. choice is hope beer ou1 that you my. nt ygrows two enzymes work, Dunlap and his four graduate assistants are ex perimenting with them in a laboratory where the temperature is 38 degrees fahrenheit. Pure enzymes, he said, will break down chemically unless kept at a cold temperature. After studying the mechanisms of the two enzynies found. in nor mal bacterial cells, Dunlap will extend his study to examine the same two enzymes taken from cancer cells. "It's possible cow to obtain enzymes from experimenttal leukemia and tumor cells," he said. "We hope to find how the mechanisms of the two enzymes in these cancerous tissues compare with the enzyme mechanisms in normal cells." Dunlap said he and his assistants are among 10 cancer-research groups around the world working with these same two enzymes, but in different ways.

Some Indians are especially upset because their wages have fallen," Sederberg said. The U. S., Great Britain and France are begining to consult with both governments to try to lower the chance of war, Seder berg said. lite beer...
