Investigation into the Driving Force Dependence of Excess Electron Transport in Duplex DNA
(2009)
The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the driving force dependence of excess electron transport in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) using napthyl amines as electron donors.
The ability of DNA to act as a pathway ...
Fundamentals of Excess Electron Transport in Biologically Relevant Systems
(2008-01-25)
Thymine dimers are premutagenic lesions that form via ultraviolet irradiation of DNA. While the distribution of thymine dimers is non-random, it is also not yet predictable. Thymine dimer accumulation is likely to be ...
Insight into the Structure and Mechanism of Iodotyrosine Deiodinase, the First Mammalian Member of the NADH Oxidase / Flavin Reductase Superfamily
(2006-07-18)
Iodotyrosine deiodinase (IYD) has remained poorly characterized for nearly 50 years in spite of its function as an iodine salvage pathway and its role in regulation of mammalian basal metabolism. IYD catalyzes the reductive ...
