Counting Protons: Using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry to Determine the Number of Protons Exchanged Upon Ca(II) and Cd(II) Binding to Wild-type HcTnC and Mutant C84A and C35A/C84A Proteins
(East Carolina University, 2018-07-20)Maintaining a delicate balance of metal ions in the cell is crucial to the survival of many organisms. Divalent cadmium, Cd(II), is a non-essential metal ion that can disrupt this delicate balance and lead to deleterious ... -
Regulation of Transglutaminase 2 structure and function by Ca²⁺ and [alpha]-synuclein
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-14)Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) catalyzes the Ca2+-dependent transamidation of protein substrates between glutamine and lysine residues by formation of an N[epsilon]-([gamma]-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine isopeptide bond. The Ca2+-dependent ... -
The Effects of Calcium Content on the Federally Endangered Thalictrum Cooleyi of North Carolina Pocosins and Pine Savannas
(East Carolina University, 2016-04-29)Thalictrum cooleyi Ahles (Cooley’s meadowrue) is a federally endangered, herbaceous perennial found in very wet, loamy pine savannas of North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Pine savannas are characterized by palustrine ...
