Spring 2018
The development of rapid and bioorthogonal chemical reactions has expanded greatly the utility of bioconjugation chemistry in the service of site-selective protein labeling, even allowing molecular imaging in live cells or animals. âClickâ chemistry is particularly desirable due to its fast...

Spring 2018
Intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in proteins lack stable three dimensional structure under physiological conditions. IDRs are prevalent in nature, functionally important, and difficult to characterize experimentally due to their unstructuredness. As a result, many computational methods...

Fall 2018
Chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) proteins comprise six members CLIC1–CLIC6 in mammals and mediate functions not fully known. Their founding member was isolated from bovine kidney using the chloride channel inhibitor indanyloxyacetic acid-94, so CLICs were assumed to be typical anion...

Energy use by the mountain pine beetle (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) for dispersal by flight
Download2019-01-01
Wijerathna, Asha, Evenden, Maya
The mountain pine beetle, Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins is a major native pest of pine (Pinus Linnaeus (Pinaceae)) in western North America. Host colonization by mountain pine beetle is associated with an obligatory dispersal phase, during which beetles fly in search of a suitable host....

Probing microscopic conformational dynamics in folding reactions by measuring transition paths
Download2019-12-01
Hoffer, Noel Q, Woodside, Michael T
Transition paths comprise those parts of a folding trajectory where the molecule passes through the high-energy transition states separating folded and unfolded conformations. The transition states determine the folding kinetics and mechanism but are difficult to observe because of their brief...

Interfacing Silicon-Based Quantum Dots with Proteins for Biological and Sensing Applications
DownloadFall 2020
This dissertation presents the preparation of functional bioinorganic hybrids from silicon-based quantum dots (SiQDs) and enzymes and the use of SiQDs and green fluorescent protein as ratiometric photoluminescent sensors for nerve agents. Chapter 2 discusses the preparation of water-soluble...

Development and Application of Protected Amino Acids for the Installation of Stable Post-translational Modifications Using Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis
DownloadFall 2022
This thesis describes the synthesis of non-canonical amino acid building blocks and their use in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to explore peptidic drug analogues based on natural products. We replaced sensitive functionalities found in the structure of naturally produced peptides with...

Synthesis, biological evaluation, and screening of 2,5-anhydro-D-mannitol derivatives towards selective targeting and imaging of GLUT5 transporter protein
DownloadFall 2022
The solute carrier (SLC) family of membrane proteins is responsible for the internalization of a variety of essential small molecule compounds such as amino acids, monosaccharides, neurotransmitters, vitamins, as well as many inorganic ions. In recent years, these proteins have been recognized as...

Fall 2024
The chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) isoform 5A was discovered in a complex with ezrin and actin in placenta microvilli. CLIC5A is also greatly enriched in kidney glomeruli and is essential for assembly of the ezrin/NHERF2/podocalyxin complex at the apical domain of glomerular podocyte foot...
