A Biochemical Approach To Determine The Target Site Recognition Mechanism Of The R2 Retrotransposable Elements
(Biology, 2011-07-14)Non-LTR Retrotransposons (NLRs) are selfish mobile genetic elements which parasitize the genomes of many organisms including humans. These elements transpose through an RNA intermediate and integrate directly into their ... -
Biochemical, Kinetic And Spectroscopic Characterizations Of Non-heme Iron Oxygenase Enzymes
MiaE is a non-heme diiron enzyme which catalyzes the O2-dependent hydroxylation of selected tRNA-nucleotides as part of a multienzyme posttranscriptional hypermodification pathway. This tRNA-modifying enzyme is postulated ... -
Biodegradable Fluorescent Polymers
(Biomedical Engineering, 2008-09-17)Most of the works done on fluorescent polymers are focused on their potential applications in lighting industries. Much less interest has been paid for their potential application in the field of biology and biomedical ... -

(2023-08-10)**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 8/1/2024** ABSTRACT: The extent of human influences on the environment and biodiversity has led to naming our current time period the Anthropocene. A primary way in which ... -
Biogeography and Conservation of Reptilian Diversity in West Indonesia
(2022-04-19)Uncovering and analyzing the distributional patterns of species across the landscape is central to biogeography, but these same patterns and explanations for those patterns are also critical to proper conservation and ... -
Biography As A Searchlight: Finding The Frank Stanford Story Cycle In Ellen Gilchrist's Fiction
(English, 2011-03-03)Ellen Gilchrist's short stories and novels form several story cycles that connect her characters and tie her work together into interdependent story groups. Her work is also strikingly autobiographical, featuring protagonists ... -
Bioinformatic Identification Of Small RNA (and Their Targets) In The Testis Of Clawed Frogs (Xenopus And Silurana): Implications For Male Fertility
(Biology, 2012-04-11)Chapter one sets the stage for this project, which lies somewhere near the intersection of speciation, genome, and reproductive biology. Chapter two identifies miRNA with shared expression profiles (Silurana and Xenopus). ... -
Biological Aging And Peer Victimization: The Role Of Social Support In Telomere Length And Health Outcomes
(Psychology, 2014-09-17)The health benefits of social support have been well documented in the literature (Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Newman & Roberts, 2013), as have the somatic and psychological outcomes of being the victim of bullying (Wang, ... -
