Deletion mutants may be the key to determining the structure of the Vif protein of HIV
(Northern Illinois University, 2000)The Vif (viral infectivity factor) protein of HIV-1 enhances viral infectivity during virus production 100 to 1000 fold (4). Though Vif is required for HIV-1 infection in peripheral blood T lymphocytes, macrophages, and ... -
Deletion of menaquinone (vitamin-K) biosynthetic gene menA restores ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) biosynthesis in ubiB mutant strain.
(Northern Illinois University, 2014)It is well established that for aerobic growth E.coli requires either Menaquinone (MK), Ubiquinone (Q) or 2-octaprenyl-3-methyl-6- methoxy-1,4-benzoquinone (MMQ) as electron carrier to grow on glycerol minimal medium (GMM). ... -
Dense connective tissue repair : the intricacies of monitoring actin isoforms in native tissue models in vitro
(Northern Illinois University, 2009)In preparation to quantify beta-actin and alpha-smooth muscle actin content in loaded and unloaded native rat tail tendon organ culture models, several methodologies were developed in the present paper. Since alpha-smooth ... -
