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.

Fall 2010
This thesis describes the application of mass spectrometry (MS) to glycoprotein and oligosaccharide analysis. Glycosylated proteins are involved in cell-cell and cell-matrix recognition. Applications of trypsin and proteinase K to hydrolyze glycoproteins into glycopeptides that are compatible...

Development and Application of ESI-MS Based Techniques for Quantitative Determination of Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions
DownloadFall 2016
This thesis describes the development and application of mass spectrometry methods to study protein-ligand interactions in vitro. Liquid sample desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (liquid sample DESI-MS) was employed to quantify protein-carbohydrate interactions in aqueous buffer...

Quantitative Characterization of Noncovalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2015
The interactions between water-soluble proteins and carbohydrates found on the surfaces of cells play important roles in many physiological and pathological cellular processes. Carbohydrates function as receptors for signaling, cellular recognition and adhesion, and pathogen infections. This...
