Mechanisms Affecting Predation Success In Wolf Spiders
(Biology, 2014-09-17)Predator-prey interactions play a role in community structure through a variety of different mechanisms including direct consumption, density-mediated indirect effects, and trait-mediated indirect effects. Understanding ... -
The Mechanisms and Biomedical Applications of an NIR BODIPY-Based Switchable Fluorescent Probe
(MDPIDepartment of Bioengineering, The University of Texas at Arlington, 11 Februar)Highly environment-sensitive fluorophores have been desired for many biomedical applications. Because of the noninvasive operation, high sensitivity, and high specificity to the microenvironment change, they can be used ... -
Mechanisms Of Biomaterial Mediated Fibrotic Responses And Strategies To Improve Tissue Reactions To Biomaterial Implants
(Biomedical Engineering, 2010-07-19)Despite considerable advancements in biomaterial synthesis and modification techniques, most tissue engineering scaffolds elicit fibrotic reactions resulting in implant encapsulation, secluding cells and/or therapeutic ... -
Mechanistic And Kinetic Studies On F420H2: NADP+ Oxidoreductase From Archeoglobus fulgidus
F420H2: NADP+ Oxidoreductase (Fno) is an F420 cofactor dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible reduction of NADP+ to NADPH by transferring a hydride from the reduced F420 cofactor. F420 cofactor is an essential ... -
MECHANISTIC BASIS FOR THE ROLE OF RESISTANCE AND TOLERANCE DETERMINANTS IN ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT FAILURE
(2022-05-09)Failure of antibiotics in treatment of nosocomial Gram-negative bacterial infections has created a substantial burden for global public health. The β-lactam class of antibiotics includes last resort carbapenems, which are ... -
Mechanistic insights into Gram-negative envelope remodeling for protection against severe outer membrane defects
(2022-05-23)Gram-negative bacteria account for the majority of antibiotic resistant infections. Regulated modifications within the cell envelope can promote resistance to clinically important antibiotics. The increased prevalence of ... -
MECHANISTIC STUDIES OF F420-DEPENDENT ENZYMES BY KINETIC ANALYSIS
(2021-08-10)The focus of this research is to elucidate the catalytic mechanism of F420-dependent enzymes using F420-dependent glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (FGD) from Mycobacteria tuberculosis (Mtb) and F420H2:NADP+ Oxidoreductase ... -
Mechanistic Study Of Cysteine Dioxygenase, A Non-heme Mononuclear Iron Enzyme
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2014-09-17)Cysteine dioxygenase (CDO) is an non-heme mononuclear iron enzymes that catalyzes the O2-dependent oxidation of L-cysteine (Cys) to produce cysteine sulfinic acid (CSA). CDO controls cysteine levels in cells and is a ... -
MECHANISTIC STUDY OF THE INHIBITION OF RHO GTPASE-MEDIATED METASTASIS
(2019-01-04)The Ras superfamily of small GTPases are monomeric proteins that bind guanine nucleotides, and regulate many cellular signaling pathways. They function as molecular switches by shuttling between active GTP-bound and inactive ... -
