We discuss various Penrose limits of conformal and nonconformal backgrounds. InAdS5£T 1;1 , for a particular choice of the angular coordinate inT 1;1 the resulting Penrose limit coincides with the similar limit forAdS5£S 5 . In this case an identiflcation of a subset of fleld theory operators with the string zero mode creation operators is possible. For another limit we obtain a light-cone string action that resembles a particle in a magnetic fleld. We also consider three difierent types of backgrounds that are dual to nonconformal fleld theories: The Schwarzschild black hole in AdS5, D3-branes on the small resolution of the conifold and the Klebanov-Tseytlin background. We flnd that in all three cases the introduction of nonconformality renders a theory that is no longer exactly solvable and that the form of the deformation is universal. The corresponding world sheet theory in the light-cone gauge has a ? = x + dependent mass term.
