Abstract:: The studies described in this thesis were motivated by ongoing efforts to develop lignocellulosic biomass as an efficient and practical source of renewable energy. Enormous problems complicate these efforts to reduce reliance on greenhouse gas-generating fossil fuels. Simply obtaining the fermentable sugars available in the cellulose and hemicellulose components of...

Abstract:: The structural polymorphic nature of DNA has been long been recognized since the model of the right-handed B-DNA duplex proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick was accepted. Its malleability is thought to be critical in protein recognition and manipulation. In particular, it can form Holliday junctions, four-way DNA structural...

Abstract:: The spatial and temporal patterning of sequence specific transcription factors (SSTFs) contributes to cell type specification and organ formation during embryogenesis. Homeodomain transcription factors are evolutionally conserved among invertebrate and vertebrate animals. They are responsible for body segmentation and organogenesis. Lbx1 and Pitx2 both are homeodomain transcription factors contributing to...
