Worstell, Nolan Cecil (2018-01-19)Adhesion of carbohydrate binding proteins called lectins to cell membrane components mediates pathogen interactions with host cells. In working with cell membrane mimicking lipid bilayers, we observed that weak affinity ...
-
Guo, Yuqi (2017-07-27)Industrial biotechnology provides a sustainable and environmentally sound way to produce chemicals by using renewable raw materials. Sustainability of industrial biotechnology can be further improved if alternative water ...
-
Olson, Michelle L (2014-11-19)Isoprenoids are naturally produced compounds in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They are involved in essential cellular functions of the cell and are also further synthesized into pharmaceuticals, carotenoids, ...
-
Weatherston, Joshua David (2019-04-10)Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a modification to traditional Raman spectroscopy (RS) which inherits the high specificity of RS while featuring greatly improved sensitivity. As a result, SERS spectroscopy is ...
-
Peabody V, George Lee (2017-07-24)Adaptive laboratory evolution facilitates the development and study of complex phenotypes. In an evolving population, individuals with mutations conveying a fitness benefit are selected for, and become enriched, in the ...
-
Shih, Wei-Chun (2017-09-05)Since first pincer ligand synthesized by Shaw, the chemistry of pincer ligands has been vastly expanded and applied in organic transformation and catalysis. Herein, we have developed new PBP-type pincer complexes that ...
-
Olson, Michelle Lynn (2018-08-16)Candida spp. are commensal opportunistic fungal pathogens that often colonize and infect mucosal surfaces of the human body. Candida, along with other microbes in the microbiota, generally grow as biofilms in a polymicrobial ...
