Barbeau, William | Characterization of a New Ribosome Associated Quality Control Pathway | Proteins are life's double edged sword. Proteins are essential macromolecules of life, and the tasks that some proteins accomplish are quite marvelous. At the same time, if proteins misfold they have the potential to kill the cell that harbors them. It is becoming increasingly clear that proteins ha... | Ribosomes - Research | 2016-12 |

Nicolo, Tera | Characterization of mitochondria-modified electrodes | In order to develop an herbicide sensor, yeast, potato, and bovine heart mitochondria were isolated and immobilized onto Toray paper electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry showed two redox peaks at 186 ± 14 mV vs. SCE and -357 ± 24 mV vs. SCE with an E1/2 of -128 mV. Scan rate studies suggested the proces... | Electrodes; Herbicides - Detection | 2013-05 |
