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.

Biosynthetic Study of CcsA and a Polyketide Synthase with Homology to Carnitine Acyltransferase
DownloadFall 2017
Polyketides are a class of natural products with large structural and biochemical diversity. Polyketides are assembled by the polymerization of short-chain fatty acids by enzymes named polyketide synthases. Fungal iterative polyketide synthases are notable in that they contain multiple active...

Investigations of Fungal Highly Reducing Polyketide Synthases: The Biosyntheses of Lovastatin and Hypothemycin
DownloadFall 2017
Fungal highly reducing polyketide synthases (HR-PKSs) are large, multi-domain enzymes central to the biosynthesis of fungal polyketides. They assemble complex secondary metabolites, called polyketides, through the condensation of two-carbon acetate units and tailoring of the functional groups at...
