• The minimal primary structures of RNA aptamers selected to bind HIV-1 reverse transcriptase 

    Franken, Joshua D., 1983- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) is the most common molecular target of current HIV treatments. Oligonucleotide aptamers bind and inhibit the RNA- and DNA-dependent polymerization activities ...
  • Phage display peptides for breast cancer targeting 

    Bates, Maura K. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
    Cancer cell surfaces differ from healthy cell surfaces allowing the detection of cancer targets on the cell. Use of these targets combined with radiolabeled targeting vehicles results in sensitive imaging agents, with ...
