GlycomicsDB - A data integration platform for glycans and their strucutres

Visvanathan, Mahesh; Siddam, Sasidhar R.; Lee, In-Hee; Lushington, Gerald H.; Bousfield, George R. (Bentham Open, 2011-04-19)

Glycomics is a discipline of biology that deals with the structure and function of glycans (or carbohydrates). Analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) are having a significant ...

The habitat and courtship behavior of the wolf spider Schizocosa retrorsa (Banks 1911) were studied and are described here for the first time. The range of S. retrorsa was extended to include the lower peninsula of Michigan. ...
Halotolerant aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from the Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma

Caton, Todd M.; Witte, Lisa R.; Ngyuen, H. D.; Buchheim, J. A.; Buchheim, M. A.; Schneegurt, Mark A. (Springer New York, 2004-11)

The Salt Plains National Wildlife Refuge (SPNWR) near Cherokee, Oklahoma, contains a barren salt flat where Permian brine rises to the surface and evaporates under dry conditions to leave a crust of white salt. Rainfall ...
A heteroallelic mutant mouse model: A new orthologue for human hyperphenylalaninemia

Sarkissian, Christineh N.; Boulais, D. M.; McDonald, J. David; Scriver, C. R. (Elsevier, 2000-03)

Hyperphenylalaninemias (HPA) are Mendelian disorders resulting from deficiencies in the conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine. The vast majority are explained by a primary deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) ...
High levels of orexin A in the brain of the mouse model for phenylketonuria: possible role of orexin A in hyperactivity seen in children with PKU

Surendran, S.; Campbell, G. A.; Tyring, S. K.; Matalon, K.; McDonald, J. David; Matalon, R. (PubMed, 2003-12)

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder caused by phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency leading to increased levels of phenylalanine in the brain. Hyperactivity is reportedly induced by a high level of orexin A, and ...
History of the Wichita State University’s Herbarium

Culhane, G. James (2011-03-15)

The WSU Herbarium contains over 4,500 electronically data based specimens (as of spring 2009), including both plants and lichens, and contributes to biological infrastructure of the state by making specimen-level information ...
Hormone-specific inhibitory influence of alpha-subunit Asn56 oligosaccharide on in vitro subunit association and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor binding of equine gonadotropins

Butnev, Viktor Y.; Gotschall, R. Russell; Butnev, Vladimir Y.; Baker, Vanda L.; Moore, William T.; Bousfield, George R. (Society for the Study of Reproduction, 1998-02-01)

Hybrid hormones were created using combinations of equine (e) LH, eFSH, and eCG alpha- and beta-subunit preparations. The efficiency of eFSH beta association was highest with eLH alpha (64-72%) and was lowest with eCG alpha ...
Hph-1: A mouse mutant with hereditary hyperphenylalaninemia induced by ethylnitrosourea mutagenesis

Bode, V. C.; McDonald, J. David; Guenet, J. L.; Simon, D. (PubMed, 1988-02)

Ethylnitrosourea mutagenesis of spermatogonial stem cells and a three-generation breeding scheme were used to screen for recessive mutations that cause defects in phenylalanine metabolism leading to elevated serum levels ...
Human follicle-stimulating hormone glycoform abundance during the normal menstrual cycle in women

Rueda Santos, Monica A. (Wichita State University, 2009-05)

Human FSH exists as two major glycoforms, tetra-glycosylated and di-glycosylated hFSH. Tetra-glycosylated FSH possesses both α and β subunit carbohydrates while di-glycosylated hFSH possesses only α subunit carbohydrates. ...
Hyperphenylalaninemia in the hph-1 mouse mutant

McDonald, J. David; Bode, Vernon C. (International Pediatrics Research Foundation, 1988-01)

A mutation, resulting in a deficiency of liver GTP-cyclohydrolase activity, has been induced in the laboratory mouse. Mice homozygous for this mutation exhibit hyperphenylalaninemia under the following conditions: 1) early ...
Identification of twelve O-glycosylation sites in equine chorionic gonadotropin beta and equine luteinizing hormone ss by solid-phase Edman degradation

Bousfield, George R.; Butnev, Vladimir Y.; Butnev, Viktor Y. (Society for the Study of Reproduction, 2001-01)

The O-glycosylation sites for equine LHss (eLHss) and eCGss were identified by solid-phase Edman degradation of four glycopeptides derived from the C-terminal region. Both subunits were O-glycosylated at the same 12 ...
