Sulfation of fucoidan in Fucus embryos and its possible role in localization

Creator:

Crayton, Michele Allen

Abstract:

Under defined cultural conditions, zygotes of the brown alga Fucus distichus L. Powell divide synchronously to form two-celled embryos at approximately 24 hours after fertilization. These two cells differ from one another in gross morphology, ultrastructure, cytochemistry, and developmental fate. Cytochemical staining and autoradiography indicated that a sulfated polysaccharide was...

Towards the understanding of the function of the histone "tails" with respect to the structure, stability, and function of chromatin

Creator:

Dong, Feng

Abstract:

By using immobilized trypsin, I have been able to prepare well-defined, stable trypsinized nucleosomes. The difficulties of lacking of control in the extent of trypsinization, which were encountered in previous studies with the use of free trypsin, have been eliminated. The nucleosomes and oligonucleosomes prepared by immobilized trypsin are suitable...

The effect of food processing on the bioavailability of selenium in tuna and wheat : human and rat studies

Creator:

Alexander, Anne Rose

Abstract:

Bioavailability of selenium (Se) in processed tuna and wheat products was studied in humans and rats. The protein source of the rat diets was torula yeast with Se supplied by either raw, precooked or canned tuna, or whole wheat flour, bread or bran. Sodium selenite was used as a control....
