Characterization of α-Galactooligosaccharides formed via Heterologous Expression of α- 2 Galactosidases from Lactobacillus reuteri in Lactococcus lactis
Download2014-01-01
Wang, Yvonne, Black, Brenna A., Curtis, Jonathan M., Gänzle, Michael G.
α-Galacto-oligosaccharides (α-GOS) are produced by transgalactosylation reactions of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) or by conversion of raffinose family oligosaccharides by levansucrase. Similarly to β-GOS, α-GOS have the potential to mimic glycan receptors on eukaryotic cells and act as molecular...

Characterization of γ-glutamyl cysteine ligases from Limosilactobacillus reuteri producing kokumi-active γ-glutamyl dipeptides
Download2021-07-01
γ-Glutamyl cysteine ligases (Gcls) catalyze the first step of glutathione synthesis in prokaryotes and many eukaryotes. This study aimed to determine the biochemical properties of three different Gcls from strains of Limosilactobacillus reuteri that accumulate γ-glutamyl dipeptides. Gcl1, Gcl2,...

Climate change adaptation policy and practice: The role of agents, institutions and systems
Download2021-01-01
Birchall, S. Jeff, Bonnett, Nicole
Surrey, British Columbia, stands out in its efforts to go beyond the provincial mandate on climate change mitigation and incorporate adaptation into strategic planning. The community is not currently overwhelmed by climate change impacts, and has local agents and institutions in place to...

Climate change resilience in the Canadian Arctic: The need for collaboration in the face of a changing landscape
Download2019-12-17
MacDonald, Seghan, Birchall, Jeff S.
Human-induced changes to global climate have become increasingly difficult to ignore in recent years. As the frequency and severity of extreme weather events increases, the impacts on both natural and human systems are becoming difficult to manage with the current policies. In Canada, one of the...

Coastal Climate Adaptation Planning and Evolutionary Governance: Insights from Homer, Alaska
Download2020-01-01
Climate variability is not a new challenge for coastal communities. However, because climate variability is manifesting with more extreme climate impacts, occurring with greater frequency and with more intensity, the necessity for adaptation to minimize risk is becoming more pronounced. Though...

Coastal communities in the Circumpolar North and the need for sustainable climate adaptation approaches
Download2020-08-15
Bonnett, Nicole, Birchall, Jeff S.
Climate change is one of society’s greatest contemporary challenges. Increasing global temperatures leave coastal locations in particular, vulnerable to impacts that include rising sea levels and more extreme and variable weather events. Stress can be acute for small coastal communities located...

Pisavadia, Harshil, Toussaint, Geneviève, Dolez, Patricia, Hogan, James D.
In this paper, a trilinear cohesive zone modeling approach available in the explicit nonlinear finite element software LS-DYNA is used to model the dynamic impact failure of an adhesive layer. This approach is an improvement over simpler cohesive zone models presented in the literature. The model...

Combining a PagP fusion protein system with nickel ion-catalyzed cleavage to produce intrinsically disordered proteins in E. coli
Download2015-01-01
Zahran, Somaya, Pan, Jonathan S., Liu, Philip B., Hwang, Peter M.
Many proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions that are highly solvent-exposed and susceptible to post-translational modifications. Studying these protein segments is critical to understanding their physiologic regulation, but proteolytic degradation can make them difficult to express and...
