Characterization of the GINS subunit psf1 in Drosophila Melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2010)GINS (Go Ichi Ni San; 5,1,2,3 in Japanese) is a heterotetrameric protein complex known to be essential for the establishment of DNA replication forks and the progression of the replisome. The GINS complex is known to be ... -
Characterization of the Role of Mcm10 in DNA Replication in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2013)Replication of the genome and proper formation, and packaging, of chromatin are processes essential to eukaryotic life. Maintenance of epigenetic chromatin states is essential for faithfully reproducing the transcriptional ... -
Characterization of Two Novel Mutants of DNA Polymerase Delta in Drosophila melanogaster
(East Carolina University, 2011)DNA is the genetic material for all living organisms which is constantly being unpackaged, replicated and repackaged. The replication of this genetic material involves numerous different proteins; however, DNA polymerase ... -

(East Carolina University, 2018-08-30)North Carolina's coastline consists of an extensive barrier island system, with inlets acting as pathways for the exchange of sediment and water from estuarine and open ocean environments. Reconstructing past coastal changes ... -
Characterizing Environmental and Physicochemical Conditions in Nursery Areas of River Herring in Chowan River, North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2012)Anadromous fishes such as blueback herring Alosa aestivalis and alewife A. pseudoharengus, utilize sounds, rivers, and tributaries during spawning. Collectively known as river herring, these two ecologically important ... -
Characterizing Interactions of Thioflavin-T with Native Proteins Especially Bovine Serum Albumin
(East Carolina University, 2017-05-03)Thioflavin T is a fluorescent probe used to monitor formation of cross [beta]-sheet rich amyloid fibrils. Involvement of the amyloid fibrils is implicated in more than 50 human diseases, such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's ...
