"Not Nowhere:" "Walking Bridges" in an AmeRican Utopia" by Analisa DeGrave, professor of Spanish at UW-Eau Claire.

Amino-acyl tRNA synthetases (AARSs) belong to a class of an important family of enzymes that are critical for proteins biosynthesis in all living organisms. They catalyze aminoacylation of tRNAs, a key step in protein ...

Fluorescence spectroscopy has become a pivotal tool in biochemical research by virtue of its robustness and high sensitivity. Intrinsic protein fluorescence, that originates mainly from the aromatic amino acid tryptophan, ...

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) plays a key role in cellular defense in humans. It is known to reduce quinones to hydroquinones, inhibiting their ability to become a free radical semiquinone state, and cause cellular ...

This research project is a continuing effort focused on the molecular-level understanding of the relationship between structure, dynamics, and function in aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (AARSs). Recent computational studies ...

NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and its paralog NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2) function by reducing quinones into hydroquinones via a two-electron reduction, which is mediated by the cofactor flavin adenine ...
