Proteomic analyses of marine bacteria

Creator:

Sowell, Sarah M.

Abstract:

Proteins are the metabolic machines of the cell and as such, the study of proteins could illuminate the dominant biological activities that are occurring within cells and reveal how an organism interacts with its environment. Here, we used proteomic techniques to study the abundant marine bacterium SAR11 both as an...

Elevated ceramide levels contribute to the age-associated decline in vascular endothelial nitric oxide : pharmacologic administration of lipoic acid partially restores function

Creator:

Smith, Anthony R.

Abstract:

The vascular endothelium is a single cell layer that lines the lumen of the entire vasculature. It is the site of synthesis of nitric oxide (NO), a vasodilatory compound synthesized by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). NO causes intracellular calcium sequestration of the vascular smooth muscle cells, relaxing and dilating...
