Involvement of TolC protein in the export of siderophore enterobactin in Escherichia coli
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
To acquire the necessary iron against harsh competition in the environment, iron starved bacteria synthesize, excrete and retrieve iron scavenging molecules termed siderophores, one of which is enterobactin. TolC protein ...
Immunological analysis of a putative virulence protein of Haemophilus influenzae
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Haemophilus influenzae, a gram negative bacterium, is part of the normal flora of the human upper respiratory tract; however, they are also known to be pathogenic. Nonencapsulated (nontypeable) H. influenzae (NTHi) are ...
Stem cells transplanted into the brain are immunogenic and are actively rejected by the host [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
for neural cells lost due to injury or disease. However, rejection of donor cells by the host immune system may limit the effectiveness of stem cell therapies. Recent research has suggested that some stem cells may be immunoprivileged, able to avoid rejection...
Binding properties of X29 protein and RNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
will be able to map the precise nucleotide on the RNA and interpret this in the framework of the proposed secondary structure for U8 snoRNA. The results of these experiments will greatly aid the research of the X29 protein and its binding capabilities to RNA...
Expression and purification of AlgX in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
as alginate. The goal of this project is to, by isolating some of the proteins that help produce the biofilm, find the three-dimensional structure of those proteins. This will make it easier for various pharmaceutical research companies to create a drug...
Impact of creep feeding on subsequent performance and plasma parameters of feedlot steers
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of creep feeding and protein sources, notably DDGS, on blood plasma variables and growth in crossbred steer calves. Thirty-six crossbred steer calves were used in a randomized ...
The effects of even-aged cutting on density and pairing success of Worm-eating Warblers
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
It is important for researchers to be aware of how timber management practices affect songbird populations. Certain forest management techniques can cause declines in breeding habitat of Neotropical migrant songbirds that require mature forest...
