Palladin Can Compensate for Arp2/3 Complex Defects and Structurally Organizes Actin-Rich Structures Generated during Listeria monocytogenes Infections
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017-04)The actin cytoskeleton is co-opted by the invasive and motile bacteria Listeria monocytogenes (Listeria) for their entry, intracellular motility and dissemination from one cell to another. Once inside host cells, these ... -
Palladin Nucleates Actin Assembly and Regulates Cytoskeleton Architecture
(Elsevier Inc., 2015-01-27)The actin scaffold protein palladin regulates both normal cell migration and invasive cell motility, processes that require the coordinated regulation of actin dynamics. Palladin localizes to actin-rich protrusions and has ... -
Palladin's Ig4 Mutation: Exploring the link with pancreatic cancer
(Elsevier Inc., 2015-01-27)Palladin is a recently discovered protein that is expressed in human cells and plays a key role in cytoskeletal dynamics by directly binding and bundling filaments of actin. These processes provide an important function ... -
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to CO and acrylic acid
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03-16)The synthesis of various rhenium complexes was followed by an investigation of their capacity to reduce CO2 photocatalytically to CO. Re(bpy)(CO)3X (X = Cl, NCS; bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) was irradiated in a CO2 saturated ... -
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO, and its study in the production of an organic acid
(American Chemical Society, 2013-04-07)The quantum efficiency to reduce of CO2 to CO photocatalytically using visible light will be described. Irradiation of saturated CO2 solutions of dimethylformide:triethanolamine (DMF:TEOA) containing two different dyes are ... -
Polypyridyl complexes of uracil derivatives attached to 2,2 '-pyridyl
(American Chemical Society, 2018)Three ligands obtained by the condensation of 2,2'-pyridyl with 5,6-diaminouracil, 5,6-diamino-1-methyluracil and 5,6-diamino-1,3-dimethyluracil were synthesized and crystal structures of the uracil and di-Me ... -
Purification and analytical assessment of the mycobacterial porin MspA and investigation of its channel activity and potential use for a protein nano-solar cell
(American Chemical Society, 2011-08-28) -
Rheostat or Toggle: Examining the role of non-conserved mutations to LURE students into research
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017-04)There is a growing movement to involve undergraduate students in authentic research experiences. A variety of studies have indicated the strength of this approach in developing scientific aptitude, confidence, critical ... -
Simple, efficient synthetic route to 2-2 '-bipyrazine derivatives from bromopyrazine for making rhenium and ruthenium dyes
(American Chemical Society, 2017)A simple and efficient synthetic route for syntheses of 2-2'-bipyrazine (bpz) derivs. is described starting with 2-chloropyrazine and 2-methyl-4-carboxypyrazine resulting in 2,2'-bipyrazine, 4-methyl-2,2'-bipyrazine ... -
Structure, Dynamics and Folding of an Immunoglobulin-like Domain of Actin Binding Protein Palladin
(Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2017-04)While members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) share a very conserved folding pattern, this family is also the most diverse in terms of function and sequence. The conserved ®–sandwich fold of Ig domains provides a stable scaffold ... -
Structure-based design and optimization of dipeptidyl inhibitors of norovirus 3CL protease
(American Chemical Society, 2014-08-10)Human noroviruses are the primary cause of sporadic and epidemic acute gastroenteritis in the US and worldwide. Noroviruses constitute an important public health problem, as well as a potential bioterrorism threat. The ... -
Study of photoinduced electron transfer of tris(phenothiazine) subphthalocyanine-fullerene pentad for light energy harvesting system
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03-16)Photo induced excitation and electron transfer to reaction center generate long lived charge separated state is the key step for natural photosynthesis process in green plants to harvest light energy. Well-arranged donor ... -
Substituent effects in platinum(II) biphenyl bipyridine complexes
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03-16)Platinum(II) biphenyl bipyridine ligand complexes were found to exhibit emission from an excited state in the 600 nm region of the spectrum when excited in their metal-to-ligand charge transfer transition band located near ...
