Exploring biosynthetic routes to novel histidine containing cyclodipeptides
(2023-06-14) - ThesisHistidine containing cyclodipeptides have gathered attention for their important biological potential as anti-cancer drugs and neuroprotective agents. Thus, the creation of facile synthetic routes to these compounds are ... -
Biodiversity change in Scottish marine fish assemblages
(2023-06-14) - ThesisMarine fish are an irreplaceable natural resource but are currently under threat due to anthropogenic pressures. To date, most of the emphasis has been on single stocks or populations of economic importance. However, ... -
Shedding light on DNA-protein interactions involved in the nucleotide excision repair pathway
(University of St Andrews, 2021-11-30) - ThesisDNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, contains the molecular blueprint of organisms. Although, very stable, DNA can be damaged by genotoxic agents such as UV-light, reactive oxygen species or chemotherapeutic drugs, amongs others. ... -
The non-breeding ecology of Common Whitethroats Curruca communis in central Nigeria
(2022-06-15) - ThesisIdentifying what drives or prevents long-distance migrants from responding to environmental changes requires a complete understanding of the ecology and behaviour of individuals throughout their annual cycle. The non-breeding ... -
Short-term adaptation in the lab : an analysis of evolutionary trajectories using time-series data
(2022-06-15) - ThesisExperimental evolution has led to remarkable discoveries on the evolution of adaptive phenotypes. However, an understanding of the genetic basis of adaptation is only just starting to emerge, especially in eukaryotes. My ...
