This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Light Responsive Linchpins for Accelerated Discovery of Light-Responsive Mono- and Bicyclic Peptide Ligands
DownloadSpring 2016
In this thesis I describe the development and application of light-responsive (LR) linchpins for efficient discovery of LR-peptides from genetically encoded peptide librar-ies. LR-linchpins have been used for dynamic control of the structure of peptides and their biochemical properties such as...

Spring 2016
The lipopeptides, tridecaptin A1, tridecaptin B1 and cerexin A1 were isolated from Paenibacillus terrae NRRL B-30644, Paenibacillus polymyxa NRRL B-30507 and Bacillus mycoides ATCC 21929, respectively. A combination of chemical synthesis, peptide derivatization, high performance liquid...

Fall 2014
Paenibacillus polymyxa NRRL B-30509, Paenibacillus terrae NRRL B-30644 and P. polymyxa NRRL B-30507 were found to produce several bacteriocins and non-ribosomal peptides. All three strains produce tridecaptins, non-ribosomal lipopeptides antimicrobially active against food pathogen Campylobacter...

Spring 2018
Acidocin B (AcdB), a bacteriocin from Lactobacillus acidophilus M46 that was initially reported to be a linear peptide, was purified and shown to be circular based on MALDI-TOF MS and MS/MS sequencing. MS analysis further revealed that AcdB is comprised of 58 amino acid residues, instead of 59...

Targeting Phosphatidylserine for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Cell Death: Annexin V versus Phosphatidylserine-Binding Peptides
DownloadSpring 2016
There is currently no clinically approved, widely used molecular imaging agent for in vivo detection of cell death. Such an agent would be highly useful for early assessment of treatment efficacy in cancer patients, as well as for monitoring many other diseases in which cell death plays an...
