Advances in aptamer evolution and engineering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Aptamers are single-stranded nucleic acids that fold into unique three-dimensional shapes that allow them to bind with high affinity and specificity ...
Ribozymes and aptamers in the RNA world, and in synthetic biology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The RNA world hypothesis postulates that Ribonucleic Acids (RNA) may have provided functions of catalysis and genetic information storage during the ...
Discovery and characterization of regulatory mechanisms affecting the heteromeric acetyl-coenzyme a carboxylase in Arabidopsis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Fatty acid biosynthesis (FAS) is an essential metabolic pathway used by all organisms to generate fatty acids. A staple component of this pathway is the enzyme acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), which catalyzes the committed ...
