Carbohydrate–protein interactions play key roles in a range of biological processes. Noticeable advancements have been made in understanding the features associated with the recognition of pyranosides (six-membered ring sugars) by proteins. In contrast, similar detailed studies about the...

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,...

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions by Nanoelectrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Surface Plasmon Resonance
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis describes the application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) techniques to identify and quantify antibody-antigen interactions in vitro. Also potential application of nanodiscs (ND) as membrane model in ESI-MS and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has...
