Amino acid and biogenic amine concentrations during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and the disease-modifying effects of phenelzine treatment
DownloadFall 2011
The project described in this thesis began with a broad analysis of the changes to amino acid and biogenic amine concentrations in the central nervous system (CNS) during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice, an animal model of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). That study identified...

Conformations of Some Amino Acids in Aqueous Solutions by Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2012
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy has been utilized to reveal the detailed conformational distributions of the dominant serine species and leucine species in aqueous solutions under three representative pH conditions, together with vibrational absorption (VA) spectroscopy, density...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...
