ISOTOPIC LABELING STRATEGIES AND NMR METHODOLOGIES TO FACILITATE RNA STRUCTURAL AND DYNAMICS STUDIES: APPLICATIONS TO A LONG NON-CODING RNA FROM KAPOSI’S SARCOMA-ASSOCIATED HERPESVIRUS
(2020)
RNAs are essential components of biological pathways that result in human disease making them attractive therapeutic targets. Currently, NMR spectroscopy is the only high-resolution technique capable of probing RNA ...
Biophysical and Structural Characterization of the Parallel-Stranded d(CGA) Triplet Repeat Motif
(2022)
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been repurposed as a building block in the construction of nanoscale assemblies. The biocompatibility, stability, programmability, structural predictability, and ability to self-assemble ...
LYSINE-48 LINKED UBIQUITN CHAIN BINDING CYCLIC PEPTIDES AS POTENTIAL CANCER THERAPEUTICS
(2022)
Ubiquitin (Ub) is a protein that serves several important functions in all eukaryotes. Its role involves post-translational modification of target proteins which results in signaling for cellular activities of various ...
THE ASSEMBLY STATE OF A BACTERIAL MICROCOMPARTMENT AND ITS RELATED STRUCTURES
(2022)
Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are polyhedral, protein-based organelles present in a wide range of bacteria. This mode of compartmentalization is highly modular and can accommodate a wide range of chemistries within ...
EXPANDING THE TOOLKIT: STRUCTURE, DYNAMICS, AND DRUG INTERACTIONS OF THE “PRIMING LOOP” FROM HEPATITIS B VIRUS PRE-GENOMIC RNA BY SOLUTION NMR SPECTROSCOPY
(2022)
RNAs are dynamic macromolecules that function as essential components of biological pathways that result in human disease, making them attractive therapeutic targets. Yet, RNA structural biology lags significantly behind ...
Investigations of Substrate Recognition of the Biofilm Glycosidase Enzyme Dispersin B
(2022)
Bacterial biofilms, which are comprised of bacterial cells embedded in a thick extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), is a type of survival mechanism used by a variety of medically relevant bacteria to endure harsh ...
The Ribosome and Beyond: Understanding the role of translational fidelity in rare genetic disorders
(2022)
With the increasing accessibility of patient genome sequencing, causative mutations for rare genetic diseases are being uncovered at an unprecedented rate. Among these are disorders resulting from mutations in protein ...
SCREENING FOR POTENTIAL ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS AND THE APPLICATION OF ISOTOPIC LABELS FOR THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THEIR EFFECTS ON THE DYNAMICS OF THE BACTERIAL 16S RIBOSOMAL RNA
(2022)
Antibiotic resistance is a major health challenge globally. Therefore, there is the need for new antibiotics. Here, we screen compounds with new scaffolds using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and identified ...
