(2018-04-19)Previous research indicates that Set1 is the catalytically active protein in COMPASS, a protein methyltransferase complex associated with transcription in budding yeast cells. However, the mechanistic role that Set1 and ...
-
(1977)Lysyl oxidase from bovine ligamentum nuchae has been purified by two different methods. The first method utilized urea extraction, ion exchange chromatography, and affinity chromatography. The second method consisted of ...
-
(1993)E. coli cells expressing a recombinant organophosphate degrading gene (opd) were successfully encapsulated in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) using cryoimmobilization. Gel matrices were composed of 10% cells in 10% PVA, and electron ...
-
Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile), the microbe responsible for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), is a common nosocomial infection that exerts its pathogenicity primarily by two toxins, TcdA and TcdB. Designed ...
-
(1983)The potential of using biological control agents to promote agricultural by plant scientists. production is now being recognized One agent, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf-5, produces antibiotics which protect cotton ...
-
(1979)In this study, cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase from human lung tissue was investigated. After a brief review of the literature, some physical properties of the enzyme were characterized. A Heat Lability study ...
-
(1977)Rats and fish were used to study the effect of diets differing only in carbohydrate supplement on the specific activity of the enzyme acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase which catalyzes the first step in the de novo biosynthesis ...
-
(1993)Biomolecular visualization through interactive computer graphics has indeed revolutionized the x-ray crystallographic technique. As a result, an understanding of many important biological functions has been realized. The ...
-
(1985)I have studied the maintenance of methyl groups at the HpaII sites of autonomously functioning DNA upon transformation into mammalian cells. DNA molecules, containing the SV40 origin, were methylated in vitro with the ...
-
(2019-04-29)As the issue of bacterial antibiotic resistance becomes more prevalent, phage technology research attempts to investigate viruses to possibly target and kill pathogens effectively with specificity. This study is an ...
-
Telomeres consist of repeating sequences of nucleotides at the end of linear chromosomes and associated proteins that together serve to protect chromosome ends from degradation or fusion. Misregulation of telomeres leads ...
-
(1977)Initial attempts to find mutant strains incapable of transporting guanine into the cells yielded no mutants. Further studies on the transport of guanine into N. crassa cells revealed a second guanine uptake system which ...
-
(1998)The dimerization specificity of a leucine zipper is partially determined by the interactions of charged amino acids on the surfaces of dimer interfaces (e and g positions). A series of e and g position GCN4 mutants has ...
-
(1978)This report describes the develpment of a direct, spectrophotometric assay for arginase. The assay may be conveniently used at high substrate concentrations (8Km) for assaying crude sources of arginase, and for steady-state ...
-
(2021-04-27)Astrocytes are the most populous cell type in the central nervous system (CNS) and are vital in neuron development, regulating blood flow, and maintaining communication between neurons. Astrocytic control on the CNS is due ...
-
The goal of this project is to develop methods to manipulate the genome of Peromyscus maniculatus for the future eradication of diseases such as Hantavirus and Lyme disease that this species can transmit to humans. The ...
-
Botryococcus braunii is a green microalga that is capable of producing large amounts of liquid hydrocarbons that can be processed into liquid fuels such as gasoline, kerosene and diesel. Lycopaoctaene is a C40 hydrocarbon ...
-
(1990)Alcohol oxidase from the yeast Candida boidinii is a flavin enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of primary alcohols to their respective aldehydes using molecular oxygen. R—CH₂—OH + O₂ ⟶ R—CHO + H₂O₂ The function of alcohol ...
-
(2017-04-28)With an ever-increasing incidence of antibiotic resistance in clinical settings, bacterial viruses, or “phages”, are being considered as alternatives to chemical antibiotics. One type of phage in particular, single-stranded ...
-
The genotypic factors that affect antler size in whitetail deer are currently unknown. Environmental factors, such as nutrition, have been studied and have been shown to affect antler size, but the role of genomic variation ...
