Evaluation of Phosphatidylserine-Binding Peptides Radiolabeled with Fluorine 18 for in vivo Imaging of Apoptosis
DownloadSpring 2012
We currently do not have a clinical method to directly assess apoptosis induced by cancer therapies. Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an attractive target for imaging apoptosis since it is on the exterior of the apoptotic cells and PS externalization is an early marker of apoptosis. PS-binding peptides...

Examining the structure, function and mode of action of bacteriocins from lactic acid bacteria
DownloadSpring 2010
Carnocyclin A (CclA) is a remarkably stable, potent bacteriocin produced by Carnobacterium maltaromaticum UAL307. Elucidation of the amino acid and genetic sequences revealed that CclA is a circular bacteriocin. Preliminary structural studies (dynamic light scattering, NMR, circular dichroism,...

The growth of Listeria monocytogenes and spoilage microorganisms is a concern in sodium-reduced ready-to-eat (RTE) meats. To assess the microbial risk of sodium-reduced RTE meats, the microbiota of retail RTE meats was profiled and the growth of L. monocytogenes and an autochthonous microbiota...

Biomining is an efficient way for improving mineral extraction and remediation processes. Using specific/targeted separation is a promising method to increase purification yield of minerals and metals at low cost. In traditional methods extraction and purification of the desired materials from...

Light Responsive Linchpins for Accelerated Discovery of Light-Responsive Mono- and Bicyclic Peptide Ligands
DownloadSpring 2016
In this thesis I describe the development and application of light-responsive (LR) linchpins for efficient discovery of LR-peptides from genetically encoded peptide librar-ies. LR-linchpins have been used for dynamic control of the structure of peptides and their biochemical properties such as...

Quantification of bacteriocin gene expression in Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313
DownloadFall 2014
Carnobacterium maltaromaticum ATCC PTA-5313, which produces bacteriocins carnocyclin A, piscicolin 126 and carnobacteriocin BM1, has been approved for use on meat products to control the growth of Listeria monocytogenes. This combination of bacteriocins is very effective as a biopreservative. It...
