  • The asymmetric binding of Actinomycin D to DNA hexamers

    Creator:
    Ivancic, Monika
    Abstract:
    The solution structure determination of DNA molecules has been an important part of structural biology. NMR solution structures are a complement to structures solved via X-ray crystallography; the two methods are the only ways of obtaining three dimensional coordinates of macromolecules. Because of the nature of the molecule, the solution...

  • Phylogeny and zoogeography of glyptocephalines (Pisces: Pleuronectidae)

    Creator:
    Chiu, Tai-sheng
    Abstract:
    Hypotheses of phylogenetic and historical zoogeographic relationships of glyptocephalines (Glyptocephalus cynoglossus, G. zachirus, G. stelleri, Microstomus kitt, H. pacificus, H. achne, Embassichthys bathybius, and Tanakius kitaharae) were constructed based on comparative anatomy and external morphology. The phylogenetic approach was cladistic and character polarity was determined by using out-group comparison. One...

  • Palmitylation of vaccinia virus proteins : identification of modification sites and biological relevance

    Creator:
    Grosenbach, Douglas W.
    Abstract:
    Vaccinia virus encodes at least eight proteins that are modified post-translationally by the addition of a 16-carbon saturated fatty acid through thioester linkage to cysteine residues. This is referred to as palmitylation of proteins. The purpose of this work was to gain an understanding of palmitylation, focusing on what defined...

  • The influence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation on T cell fate

    Creator:
    Funatake, Castle J.
    Abstract:
    2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds are well-recognized for their immunosuppressive activity, which is mediated through an intracellular receptor and transcription factor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Laboratory animals exposed to TCDD are less resistant to infection and have severely impaired humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. This dissertation addressed the hypothesis that...

  • Bioactive natural products from marine algae

    Creator:
    Tan, Lik Tong
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an account of my investigation on the natural products deriving from various marine algae and has resulted in the discovery of thirteen novel bioactive metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these unique molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by careful analyses of 1D and 2D...

  • The language of mathematics : a functional definition and the development of an instrument of measure teacher perceived self-efficacy

    Creator:
    Gray, Virginia
    Abstract:
    Mathematics is permeated with language; it appears in the form of new words and some old words with new meanings. There are new symbols to be able to read and consume; much information is presented in tabular or graphic form, and finally the language in a mathematics class has its...

  • Variation in female reproductive success in amphibians

    Creator:
    Dyal, Leslie A.
    Abstract:
    My dissertation focuses on the factors that influence variation in female reproductive success in plethodontid salamanders and in toads. Variation in reproductive success fuels evolutionary change. Although, females often have been overlooked in studies of reproductive success due to perceived lower levels of variation when compared to variation in male...

  • A simulation model of wood dynamics in Pacific Northwest streams

    Creator:
    Meleason, Mark Alan
    Abstract:
    Conceptually, the dynamics of wood in streams can be viewed in terms of input and in-channel processes. Input processes are associated with both the riparian (tree fall, bank cutting, windthrow) and upslope forests (mass failures). In-channel processes include log breakage, movement, and decomposition. A mechanistic view of these processes is...
