INHIBITOR STUDIES ON MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS MALATE SYNTHASE
(2008-08-03)
The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has intensified efforts to discover novel drugs for tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Targeting the persistent state of Mtb, a condition in which ...
Survey of Brain Variations of Young Adult and Aged B2 (-/-) Knockout Mice
(2008-07-16)
Neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are pentameric, ligand-gated ion channels whose activation is triggered by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and by the exogenous compound, nicotine. In previous studies, ...
Searching for Dark Matter in Particle Physics Experiments
(2008-05-25)
Astronomical observations have shown that the amount of visible matter
in the universe comprises only a fraction of the total mass of the
universe. This extra mass is described as ``dark
matter''. In this thesis we ...
The Effects of an Increased Amount of Mitochondrial DNA on the Yeast Metabolic Cycle
(2008-05-21)
When prototrophic yeast cells undergo continuous growth in nutrient-limited conditions, they experience robust metabolic oscillations. Additionally, the processes of metabolism in yeast cells have been shown to be coordinated ...
Effect of Amino Acid Subsititution in Set1 on Histone H3 Methylation and Gene Silencing in Saaccharomyces Cerevisiae
(2008-08-24)
Chromosomal DNA in our cells is wrapped around a histone protein octomer like thread on a spool, forming a structure called a nucleosome. Series of nucleosomes form the nuclear chromosomes found in all eukaryotic organisms. ...
Genetic and Functional Analysis of Siderophores in Trichoderma virens
(2008-05-21)
Trichoderma virens, an avirulent plant symbiotic fungus ubiquitous in soils
worldwide, is remarkable as it induces systemic resistance in plants, enhances plant
growth, and acts as a mycoparasite of plant-pathogenic ...
Robustness of Compressed Sensing in Sensor Networks
(2008-05-22)
Compressed sensing is a new theory that is based on the fact that many natural
images can be sparsely represented in an orthonormal wavelet basis. This theory holds
valuable implications for wireless sensor networks ...
