Optimization of the reaction conditions of two enzymes for use in a carbon sequestration process, and investigation into immobilization via encapsulation within polymersomes
DownloadFall 2016
Carbon dioxide emissions from human activities contribute to an increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. In nature, this gas is sequestered through the use of enzymes found in the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle, with useful molecules such as sugars being synthesized as products. A biomimetic...

P. aeruginosa SGNH hydrolase-like proteins AlgJ and AlgX have similar topology but separate and distinct roles in alginate acetylation
Download2014
Howell, P. Lynne, Klassen, John S., Robinson, Howard, Kitova, Elena N., Dawson, Karen, Clarke, Anthony J., Little, Dustin J., Walvoort, Marthe T., Weadge, Joel T., Codee, Jeroen D. C., Baker, Perrin, Whitney, John C., Ohman, Dennis E., Ricer, Tyler, Moynihan, Patrick J.
The O-acetylation of polysaccharides is a common modification used by pathogenic organisms to protect against external forces. Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes the anionic, O-acetylated exopolysaccharide alginate during chronic infection in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients to form the major...

Plant acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferases (LPCATs) have different specificities in their forward and reverse reactions
Download2013
Heinz, Ernst, Zhou, Xue-Rong, Banas, Antoni, Green, Allan, Jasieniecka, Katarzyna, Weselake, Randall, Smith, Mark A., Stymne, Sten, Bayon, Shen, Zou, Jitao, Lager, Ida, Dyer, John M., Shockey, Jay M., Yilmaz, Jenny L., Wang, Peng, Kazachkov, Michael
Acyl-CoA:lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT) enzymes have central roles in acyl editing of phosphatidylcholine (PC). Plant LPCAT genes were expressed in yeast and characterized biochemically in microsomal preparations of the cells. Specificities for different acyl-CoAs were similar...

Pulse-based Vegan Dog Food: Examination of Digestibility with or without Added Enzymes in Adult Dogs and Ileal Cannulated Pigs as a Model
DownloadFall 2023
Demand for vegan dog foods is growing, yet little research has been conducted concerning the digestibility of these foods for dogs. The pulses and pulse protein concentrates that provide protein in these foods contain anti-nutritional factors (ANF), which may reduce nutrient digestibility....

Ruminal acidosis and the rapid onset of ruminal parakeratosis in a mature dairy cow: A case report
Download2009
Hook, Sarah E., AlZahal, Ousama, McBride, Brian W., Croom, Jim, Steele, Michael A.
A mature dairy cow was transitioned from a high forage (100% forage) to a high-grain (79% grain) diet over seven days. Continuous ruminal pH recordings were utilized to diagnose the severity of ruminal acidosis. Additionally, blood and rumen papillae biopsies were collected to describe the...

The role of YVH1, a dual specificity phosphatase, in the production of alternative oxidase in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa
DownloadFall 2013
Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a single protein enzyme that carries electrons from ubiquinol to molecular oxygen. AOX is induced in many organisms, including Neurospora crassa, when the standard electron transport chain is blocked through various inhibitors or mutations. A knockout (KO) for a dual...
