Degrading heparan sulfate : structural and functional analysis of sulfatases for drug discovery applications
(2022-11-29) - ThesisHeparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are a fundamental and evolving part of the cell surface and within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Turnover of HSPGs is aided by sulfatases, a family of enzymes which catalyzes cleavage ... -
Behavioural responses by seals to offshore energy activities
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-15) - ThesisTo effectively manage interactions between industrial activities and wildlife populations in increasingly urbanised environments, it is essential to understand how animals may be affected by different anthropogenic activities. ... -
Mechanistic enzymology of short-form ATP phosphoribosyltransferase and bifunctional phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphohydrolase/phosphoribosyl-AMP cyclohydrolase
(2022-11-29) - ThesisAdenosine 5′-triphosphate phosphoribosyltransferase (ATPPRT) catalyses the first reaction of the histidine biosynthetic pathway. Short-form ATPPRT, denoted HisGₛ, is allosterically activated by HisZ, which also mediates ... -
Modelling the movements of flapper skate (Dipturus intermedius) in relation to a Scottish Marine Protected Area
(2022-11-29) - Thesis1. Movement shapes the lives of animals and their interactions with human activities. In recent decades, the emergence of movement ecology as a discipline and developments in electronic tagging and tracking have led to ... -
Molecular mechanisms and functional consequences of chromatin binding by the human cytomegalovirus proteins IE1 and pUL83
(University of St Andrews, 2022-06-15) - ThesisInterferons (IFN) are an essential component of the vertebrate innate immune system against viruses and other pathogens. Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV), like other viruses, has developed strategies to evade the host IFN ...
