explore the development and preclinical evaluation of a radiolabeled antagonist peptide conjugate (RM2 = DOTA-4-amino-1-carboxymethyl-piperidine-D-Phe-Gln-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Sta-Leu-NH2) that targets the bombesin receptor (BB2r) overexpressed in human...
Molecular characterization of CLE peptide mimicry during cyst nematode pathogenesis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
, by analyzing the involvement of known CLE receptors in Arabidopsis during infection by the beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii, we identified a role for CLV1, CLV2, CRN, RPK2, and BAM1 in nematode CLE perception and proper formation of the syncytium...
Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
published in the literature. A careful read of the literature clearly showed early on that experimental and theoretical reports on F3B[arrow]PH3 are entirely inconsistent. It took years to explain what was actually measured, namely the compound F2B-PH2...
