Metabolic Engineering of Central Carbon Metabolism for Production of Isobutanol and other Higher Alcohol Biofuels in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
DownloadFall 2012
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered for production of high-value alcohols including isobutanol and isopentanol. This strategy uses the host’s highly active valine amino acid biosynthetic pathway and diverts its 2-ketoacid intermediate for alcohol synthesis. A 2-ketoacid...

Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the Production of Isopentenol, a Valuable Biochemical and Potential Biofuel
DownloadFall 2015
The rising concern about limited fossil fuel resources and the environmental factors associated with it has motivated the development of alternative fuels. Ethanol is currently the primary substitute to gasoline, however the intrinsic properties of ethanol have limited its ability to fully...

Modulator of apoptosis 1 (MOAP-1) is a BH3-like protein that plays a key role in death receptor-dependent apoptosis and cooperates with the tumor suppressor protein Ras association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) to promote Bax activation during cell death. Although loss of RASSF1A expression is...

Neurodegenerative diseases caused by prions afflict both humans and animals, and result from conformational conversion of the cellular prion protein, PrPC, coded for by the PRNP gene, to an isoform called PrPSc. The infectious agent of PrPSc assembles into aggregate structures and can continue...
