Structural studies into the mechanism of substrate binding and catalysis in a promiscuous hyperthermophilic aldolase
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisSulfolobus solfataricus is a hyperthermophilic archaeon that grows optimally between 80 and 85°C. It metabolises glucose and galactose by a promiscuous variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, in which both a non-phosphorylative ... -
Role of ubiquitin-like modification during adenovirus infection
(University of St Andrews, 2001) - ThesisSUMO-1 is a small ubiquitin like protein that can be covalently linked to lysine residues in target substrates with a range of biological consequences. Following viral infection, various cellular mechanisms are subverted. ... -
The endocrine control of renal function in elasmobranch fish
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - Thesis1. Urine flow rate was measured in vivo, as fish were acclimated to reduced salinity (70% SW). Urine flow increased in a step-wise manner, whilst plasma osmolality, urea, chloride and sodium concentrations were all ... -
Studies on the effects of variable terbutryne concentrations and temperatures on some physiological responses of 'Elodea Canadensis Michx.'
(University of St Andrews, 1980) - ThesisEffects of different concentrations of terbutryne on photosynthesis, respiration, chlorophyll concentration and dry matter accumulation of Blodea canadensis Michx. over a wide range of temperature, under natural and ...
