Dimorphism and integration in the pelves of anthropoid primates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The link between obstetric demand (natural selection for birth) and pelvic morphology in anthropoids has remained ambiguous for the past century. Though it is assumed that the dramatic sexual dimorphism seen in modern human ... -
Impact of maternal education and health awareness on child health in Kandahar province, Afghanistan
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Improving child health and decreasing child mortality still remains a challenge to the government of Afghanistan. According to UNICEF, Afghanistan ranked 16th among the countries with high child mortality (2015). Kandahar ... -
The influence of mRNA secondary structures on ribosome conformational dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Synthesizing proteins in the cell is a critical aspect of life. Protein synthesis is a complicated process and involve highly functional machines at a ... -
Interaction of secretory protein SecA with its binding partners : lipids and SecB
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Thirty percent of proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm of E.coli are exported across or into the cytoplasmic membrane to reach their final destinations. The general secretory system exports precursor proteins through the ... -

The role of sphingosine 1-phosphatemetabolizing enzymes in host defense to RNA virus infections
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Viruses are intracellular parasites that rely on the host cell machinery to effectively replicate themselves and spread within the host to cause ... -
Stability, states, and interactions of the enzyme PMM/PGM by NMR and multivariate analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase (PMM/PGM) contributes to the infectivity of an opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa by participating in carbohydrate biosynthesis. As a phospho-transfer enzyme, PMM/PGM ... -
Study of PVCA and PVCB, two enzymes involved in making isonitrile-containing natural products in bacterial pathogens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Isonitriles, with an unusual functionality, are very versatile intermediates widely involved in organic synthesis. Interestingly, a variety of isonitriles were encountered in both marine and terrestrial systems as the ...
