Kinetic characterisation of the plasma membrane transport of excitatory sulphur-containing amino acids in cultured brain cells and isolated nerve endings
(University of St Andrews, 1993) - ThesisThe endogenous neuroexcitatory sulphur-containing amino acids (SAAs) are generally regarded as putative transmitter substances. Of many criteria that need to be satisfied before acceptance as a transmitter, one is that a ... -

The oxygen uptake and energy charge under hypoxia and anoxia of excised plant roots from flood-tolerant and flood-sensitive species
(University of St Andrews, 1980) - ThesisA study is presented of two aspects of plant adaptation to soil waterlogging. The first part of this study is an investigation into the relation between the uptake of oxygen by plant root tips and the external concentration ... -
Structures and function of 5'-fluorodeoxyadenosine synthase
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisHalogenation in nature is becoming better understood and in recent studies (Harper etal., 2003; Murphy, 2003) there appears to be several mechanisms available to nature for halogenation. 5'-Fluorodeoxyadenosine synthase ... -
Cloning, expression and functional analysis of picornavirus protein 2C
(University of St Andrews, 2003) - ThesisPicornavirus-infected cells are characterised by the appearance of smooth vesicles and the disappearance of the Golgi apparatus. Replication of the viral RNA takes place on these virus-induced vesicles. Expression of the ...
