Fall 2017
Amino acids are building blocks for protein synthesis and are essential to every metabolic process. A well-balanced diet is one in which all required amino acids are present in the food that is eaten. Unfortunately, this is not always the case and nutritional supplements can be used to make up...

Amino acid and biogenic amine concentrations during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and the disease-modifying effects of phenelzine treatment
DownloadFall 2011
The project described in this thesis began with a broad analysis of the changes to amino acid and biogenic amine concentrations in the central nervous system (CNS) during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice, an animal model of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). That study identified...

Analysis of Nitrogen Species in Gas Oils Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
The nitrogen content of products derived from oil sands bitumen is important, as nitrogen causes problems in upgrading and hydrotreating. Normal phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been previously used to attempt separation of the nitrogen group types (pyrrole and pyridine)...

Conformations of Some Amino Acids in Aqueous Solutions by Vibrational Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2012
Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy has been utilized to reveal the detailed conformational distributions of the dominant serine species and leucine species in aqueous solutions under three representative pH conditions, together with vibrational absorption (VA) spectroscopy, density...

Development and Characterization of New Stationary Phases for Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography
DownloadSpring 2014
Ibrahim, Mohammed Elsayed Abdelatif
Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) has gained high popularity among separation scientists in the last two decades due to its ability to retain polar analytes. Many new HILIC stationary phases with different selectivities have appeared in the recent literature. Such developments...

Evaluation of the threonine requirement and the bioavailability of threonine in feedstuffs in pregnant sows
DownloadFall 2010
Current recommendations for amino acid intake during pregnancy are for a constant amino acid intake throughout. However, the demand for amino acids changes from maternal tissue growth in early gestation to fetal, conceptus and mammary tissue development in late gestation. The availability of...

Functional characterization of the L-type Amino acid Transporters (LATs) in Arabidopsis thaliana
DownloadFall 2012
The distribution of amino acids (AAs) in plants is a complex process that involves 67 amino acid transporters (AATs) in Arabidopsis, many of which have yet to be characterized. The L-type Amino acid Transporter (LAT) family, which in Arabidopsis contains five members, remained uncharacterized in...
