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.

Calnexin is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that in conjunction with the similar endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calreticulin and protein disulfide isomerase ERp57, is responsible for protein folding and quality control in the secretory pathway. We generated a...

Prion diseases are rare, inexorably progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disorders, with no therapy other than palliation. The key event in the pathogenesis of prion diseases is the conformational conversion of the cell-surface glycoprotein (PrPC), from a predominantly α-helical structure...

DNA is a detailed layout of instructions for cellular function. The integrity of human DNA is constantly challenged by a barrage of exogenous and endogenous sources. A regime of genome stability maintenance has evolved to repair the many different types of DNA damage. A form of communication...

An NMR-based approach to the structural and functional investigation of the Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1
DownloadFall 2013
The Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is the predominant isoform in mammalian cells, and regulates intracellular pH and ion concentrations. NHE1 also interacts with numerous proteins and signalling pathways. Consequently, it has been found to influence cell volume, growth, differentiation, and...

Most antivirals target viral proteins and are specific for only one virus, or even one viral genotype. Whereas viral proteins are encoded in the plastic viral genome, virion lipids are not and their rearrangements during fusion of the virion envelope to cellular membranes are conserved among...

Fall 2017
The Apoptotic Stimulating Proteins of p53 (ASPPs) are key regulators of the human tumour suppressor transcription factor, p53. These regulators either activate (ASPP1 and ASPP2) or inhibit (iASPP) p53’s function in response to DNA damage. iASPP is overexpressed and attributed to poor survival in...
