A sophisticated computer program is developed to analyze flow linear dichroism data on nucleic acids for individual base inclinations. Measured absorption and linear dichroism data for synthetic AT and GC polymers and ...

This thesis explores the feasibility of using melanophore-based biosensors from Oreochromis niloticus. Melanophores are one type of pigmented cell of the scales and fins of fish that respond in a motile fashion to a d ...

Marine cyanobacteria have been shown to produce a variety of biologically active and stucturally diverse secondary metabolites. These compounds are of interest to natural products researchers mainly because of their po ...

Glioblastoma is the most malignant primary brain tumor with the average patients surviving only one year after diagnosis, even with aggressive therapy. The formation of numerous micro-tumors dispersed into the brain du ...

A novel protocol for the study of protein-nucleic acid interactions is presented and demonstrated to be feasible. The protocol combines photochemical crosslinking techniques and mass spectrometric methods into a new st ...

This dissertation describes the cloning and characterization of the TOUSLEDlike kinases genes of maize (ZmTLKs). The TOUSLED-like kinases (TLKs) are a conserved family of nuclear Ser/Thr kinases in higher eukaryotes. T ...
