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...

The B subunit of cholera toxin has been covalently attached to the surface of Uposomes made from a mixture of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphati- dylcholine and cholesterol. Adenylate cydase inhibitors and chloride conduc- tance inhibitors were encapsulated within the liposomes. These...

The computational ability of principal neurons and interneurons in the brain and their ability to work together in concert are thought to underlie higher order cognitive processes such as learning, memory, and attention. Dendrites play a very important role in neuronal information processing...

Molecular cloning, pharmacological characterization and brain mapping of the melanocortin 4 receptor in the goldfish: Involvement in the control of food intake
Download2003
Schioth, H.B., Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E., Ringholm, A.
We report cloning, pharmacological characterization, tissue distribution, detailed brain mapping, and role in control of food intake of melanocortin 4 receptor in goldfish (gMC4R). The gMC4R protein has 68% identity with the human ortholog and is conserved in important functional domains....

The evolution of GnRH and the role of multiple forms within the brain are examined. Three forms of GnRH were purified from the brain of Pacific herring (Clupea harengus pallasi) and characterized using Edman degradation and mass spectrometry. Two forms correspond with the known structures of...

Somoza, G.M., Rivier, J.E., Fischer, W.H., Park, M.K., Chang, J.P., Craig, A.G., Montaner, A.D., Sherwood, N.M.
The neuropeptide GnRH is the major regulator of reproduction in vertebrates acting as a first signal from the hypothalamus to pituitary gonadotropes. Three GnRH molecular variants were detected in the brain of a fish, pejerrey (Odontesthes bonariensis), using chromatographic and immunological...
