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...

Bacterial stimulation of lipid vesicle production in green microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta
DownloadFall 2019
Algae and bacteria form complex interactions through the exchange of bioactive molecules and nutrients. A wide range of phenotypes, and often their very survival, are influenced by these chemically mediated relationships, shaping the ecology and diversity of marine communities. Here we sought to...

Development and Analysis of Magnetic Carbon Nanotube and Microbubble-Assisted High Centrifugation Field Techniques For The Increase of Cell Membrane Permeability
DownloadSpring 2014
To cure diseases at the gene level, therapeutic biomaterials need to enter the cells. However, since the cell membrane is a highly selective structure, its permeability is usually very low. In this thesis, we propose two innovative and efficient methods to increase cell membrane permeability....

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...

Proteins, which participate in virtually every process within cells, implement many of their functions through interactions with various ligands. Although a substantial effort in characterization and prediction of protein-ligand interactions was observed in the past two decades, these subjects...

A bacterial colony constitutes a complex microcosm which is equipped with a wide range of defensive adaptations that allow the colony to survive adverse environmental conditions and predation. The extreme resilience of bacteria in colonies has been a subject of continued research for nearly two...

Graphene has created much excitement in the scientific community since 2004, when Novoselov and Geim developed a method to exfoliate atomic layers from graphite, earning them the 2010 Nobel prize. The great interest in graphene stems from its outstanding material properties such as atomic...
