Analysis of secondary structures in nucleic acid binding proteins and nuclear magnetic resonance investigation of helix propagation and residual motions in proteins

Creator:: Hicks, Joshua M.
Abstract:: This thesis involves analyses of 3₂-helices, a-helices and of the change in residual entropy of a protein upon chemical modification. Part of the long-term goal of understanding the formation, function and stability of proteins requires that all conformations be accurately assigned and structurally understood. By a statistical analysis of 258...

The relationship of selected academic factors to the persistence of general educational development (GED) recipients enrolled in community colleges : an Oregon study

Creator:: Sanders, Karen M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between selected academic factors and the persistence of GED recipients in community colleges in the state of Oregon. With this purpose in mind, the study addressed the following research question: Is there a relationship between selected academic variables and...

A descriptive analysis of the tasks and focus of individual supervision in an agency setting

Creator:: Aasheim, Lisa Langfuss
Abstract:: Individual supervision is a widely accepted practice in the counseling profession, yet the tasks and focus of individual supervision in an agency setting remain largely uninvestigated. The tasks and focus areas inherent to agency supervision are especially important to counselors, counselor educators, agency administrators, and licensing boards, all of whom...

The mechanism of interaction of the linker histone with DNA and nucleosomes

Creator:: Ellen, Thomas Patrick
Abstract:: This dissertation examines the interaction of the linker histone with DNA and with nucleosomes. The first goal of the project was to characterize the interaction of the linker histone with DNA. Three factors previously reported to influence the linker histone's interaction with DNA were examined: ratio of linker histone to...

Modeling protein structure at atomic resolution

Creator:: Berkholz, Donald S.
Abstract:: This thesis includes three studies involving different aspects of modeling protein structure. The first study illustrates the levels of insight available from atomic-resolution protein structures. The second study derives general trends of protein geometry from atomic-resolution structures and shows their implications for modeling. The third study creates a model of...

Spatial and temporal variations of bioavailable polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the lower Willamette River

Creator:: Sower, Gregory J.
Abstract:: Urban rivers with a history of industrial use can exhibit spatial and temporal variations in contaminant concentrations that may significantly affect risk evaluations and assessment of remediation efforts. To more effectively estimate human and ecological health risks, we evaluated the spatial and temporal distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in...

The effect of cytosine methylation on DNA structure

Creator:: Vargason, Jeffrey M.
Abstract:: DNA methylation is common in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and has been implicated in various biological roles including gene silencing, X-chromosome inactivation, and genomic imprinting. 5-methylcytosine the "fifth base" of the genetic code comprises 1-3% of the human genome and is primarily found on cytosines within the context of the CpG...

Two new roles for the TYMV tRNA-like structure : translation enhancement and repression of minus strand synthesis

Creator:: Matsuda, Daiki
Abstract:: Some positive-strand RNA plant viruses possess a transfer RNA-like structure (TLS) at the 3'-terminus of their genomic RNAs. The closest mimicry to tRNA is exhibited by the valylatable TLSs from tymoviruses and furo-like viruses, which are able to interact with key cellular tRNA enzymes: [CTP, ATP]:tRNA nucleotidyltransferase (CCA NTase), valyl-tRNA...

Plasma carotenoids and retinol and dietary intake : association with in situ and invasive cervical carcinomas in Bangkok, Thailand

Creator:: Kaunda, Jean R.
Abstract:: There is a strong evidence that human papillomavirus (HPV) is the key causative agent of cervical cancer. However, the majority of women who are exposed to the oncogenic HPV do not develop invasive cervical cancer, suggesting that other factors could play a role in the cause and progression of cervical...

Intergenerational responses to the death of a child

Creator:: White, Diana L.
Abstract:: The death of a child is a traumatic family event. This qualitative study examined the experiences of parents and grandparents in 10 families who had lost a baby to SIDS, stillbirth, or birth defects. Key questions focused on support given and received, meanings attributed to the loss, continuing bonds, and...
