Amyloid- [beta] peptide induces temporal membrane biphasic changes in astrocytes through cytosolic phospholipase A₂
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Oligomeric amyloid-[beta] peptide (A[beta]) is known to induce cytotoxic effects and damage cell functions in Alzheimer's disease. However, mechanisms underlying the effects of A[beta] on cell membranes have yet to be fully ... -
Development of a fluorescence-based protease biosensor using nanoscale platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The development of a protease biosensor utilizing nanomaterials is presented in this dissertation. Peptide substrates and nanomaterial platforms were investigated to increase the sensitivity and response time for the ... -
Functional study of Kcv potassium channel through manipultion [sic] of individual subunits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Potassium channels make up a ubiquitous, physiologically essential class of integral membrane proteins. Many K+ channels contain four identical symmetrically associated subunits. To explore the role of an individual subunit ... -
Manure management using precision agriculture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The overall purpose of this project was to develop and implement a manure application record system that was solely based on Global Positioning Systems (GPS). This system will have the ability to provide steering and ...
