Biology and Prognostic Value of N-Myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) and NMT2 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
DownloadFall 2017
Myristoylation is the post-translational modification of proteins with a 14-carbon fatty- acid by N-myristoyltransferase 1 (NMT1) or NMT2. Myristoylation is key to protein membrane binding and cell survival. Bioinformatics data suggests NMT mRNA expression impacts overall survival (OS) in AML. We...

Background: In metabolic disease statues, such as diabetes and obesity, dyslipidemia is characterized by a dysregulation of lipid homeostasis, due in part to elevated triglyceride (TG)-rich very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-TG) production and secretion by the liver. Further, these metabolic...

In-line Ozonolysis coupled to Mass Spectrometry- A New Dimension of Structural Determination for Lipids
DownloadFall 2014
The location of double bonds within unsaturated lipids can greatly affect their biological functions. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful tool for lipid separation and structural elucidation. However, the determination of double bond position remains...

J-Coupling Effects on Quantification of the 1.3 ppm Lipid Methylene Resonance with In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy at 3 T
DownloadFall 2015
Quantification of 1.3 ppm lipid methylene protons by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been shown to be relevant to a number of diseases. Additionally, T2 estimation of 1.3 ppm methylene protons has been used to grade the metastatic potential of colon tumours. J-coupling...
