Perai
Perai is an urban settlement in the city of Seberang Perai, Penang, Malaysia. It lies at the southern bank of the Perai River and borders Butterworth to the north. Perai gave its name to the city of Seberang Perai, the mainland half of the State of Penang. The area now known as Perai was obtained by the British East India Company in 1800, with the Perai River serving as the boundary between the newly-acquired British territory and Kedah to the north. A nascent railway line was built between Perai and Perak in the 1890s, transforming Perai into a transit point for the export of tin. Perai became heavily industrialised in the late 20th century. Today, Perai is home to an eponymous industrial estate, as well as the adjacent township of Seberang Jaya. The town is connected to Penang Island via the Penang Bridge and contains several facilities of the Port of Penang. Etymology Perai, situated at the estuary of the Perai River, lent its name from the waterway. Upon the acquisition of ...

Phosphoribosylanthranilate Isomerase
In enzymology, a phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase (PRAI) () is an enzyme that catalysis, catalyzes the third step of the Tryptophan biosynthesis, synthesis of the amino acid tryptophan. This enzyme participates in the phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis pathway, also known as the Aromatic amino-acid, aromatic amino acid biosynthesis pathway In yeast, it is encoded by the ''TRP1'' gene. Nomenclature This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting aldoses and ketoses. The List of enzymes, systematic name of this enzyme class is N-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)anthranilate aldose-ketose-isomerase. Other names in common use include: * PRA isomerase, * PRAI, * IGPS:PRAI (indole-3-glycerol-phosphate, * synthetase/N-5'-phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase complex), and * N-(5-phospho-beta-D-ribosyl)anthranilate ketol-isomerase. *xPRAI (monomeric variant in Saccharmyces cerevisiae) *PRAI[ML256-452] (en ...

Jacob Prai
Jacob (; ; ar, يَعْقُوب, Yaʿqūb; gr, Ἰακώβ, Iakṓb), later given the name Israel, is regarded as a patriarch of the Israelites and is an important figure in Abrahamic religions, such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Jacob first appears in the Book of Genesis, where he is described as the son of Isaac and Rebecca, and the grandson of Abraham, Sarah, and Bethuel. According to the biblical account, he was the second-born of Isaac's children, the elder being Jacob's fraternal twin brother, Esau. Jacob is said to have bought Esau's birthright and, with his mother's help, deceived his aging father to bless him instead of Esau. Later in the narrative, following a severe drought in his homeland of Canaan, Jacob and his descendants, with the help of his son Joseph (who had become a confidant of the pharaoh), moved to Egypt where Jacob died at the age of 147. He is supposed to have been buried in the Cave of Machpelah. Jacob had twelve sons through four women, his ...
