Studies on the antigenic determinants of paramyxoviruses
(University of St Andrews, 1991) - ThesisMonoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced to study the antigenic relationships between SV5, PIV-2 and other paramyxoviruses, these MAbs had specificities for the HN, F, M, NP and P-proteins of SV5 and for the HN, NP and ... -
Water quality functioning of an upland reservoir and its catchment area : with particular emphasis on iron and manganese
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisWater quality problems associated with high iron and manganese concentrations in the water column are a common feature in many upland water supplies and have been experienced at the Megget Reservoir during a period of major ... -
Mechanistic studies on enzymes of secondary metabolism : 5'-fluoro-5'-deoxyadenosine synthase and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisA fluorination enzyme (fluorinase) has recently been isolated in St. Andrews from the bacterium Streptomyces cattleya. This enzyme mediates a reaction between fluoride ion and Sadenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to generate ... -
Studies of excitotoxicity in cerebellar granule neurons
(University of St Andrews, 2004) - ThesisExcitotoxicity is defined as neuronal cell death caused by hyperactivation of ionotropic glutamate receptors (namely NMDA-, AMPA- and KA-receptors). The excitotoxic potential of a novel AMPA receptor subtype-selective ... -
Mechanisms of G2 chromosomal radiosensitivity of murine SCID cells
(University of St Andrews, 2001) - ThesisThe non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA repair has become a recent focus of attention and one of the central players of this pathway is DNA-PKCs which is mutated in murine Severe Combined Immunodeficiency ...
