The Study Of Lagenidium Giganteum Crinkler Genes, Ana Paula Delgado

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Lagenidium giganteum is an entomopathogenic oomycete known for its ability to infect and kill the larvae of mosquitoes. This project seeks to find a potential alternative to chemical insecticides by isolating and sequencing the pathogenic genes found in this organism. More specifically, crinkler genes were targeted, as they have been associated with host cell toxicity in plant pathogens. A combination of several wet-lab techniques such as polymerase chain reaction, gel electrophoresis, gel extraction, and RNA extraction; and the use of bioinformatics tools are used in this project. These techniques will be used for the analysis and screening of the transcriptome …

Total Synthesis Of Functionalized Acenes, Reena Parikh

Undergraduate Student Symposium

Research project focused on the preparation of acene dinitriles from benzene 1,2-dicarbaldehyde. A Wittig reagent of fumaronitrile and triethylphosphine yielded a new C-C double. The increased the acidity of the α-H, between the new alkene bond and a cyano group, allowed an Aldol reaction to take place and resulted in a ring closure. Condensation reaction established aromaticity in the new ring, carrying dicyano functionality. To allow additional ring formations via reaction sequence repetitions, nitrile groups were reduced with DIBALH to dialdehydes.

Alone On A Wide Wide Sea: A National Security Rationale For Joining The Law Of The Sea Convention, James W. Houck

Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs (2012 - Present)

In the face of twenty-first century challenges to military maritime mobility, the question persists as to whether customary international law will remain a reliable foundation for U.S. maritime security interests in the future. To date, the U.S. has successfully conducted military operations sanctioned by the customary high seas freedoms of free navigation and overflight. However, with technological advances and heightened environmental and defense concerns, countries with coastal state interests may demand greater control over their near-shore waters, requiring the U.S. to reconsider its position outside the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). This article addresses pertinent …

11th Annual Undergraduate Student Symposium, Farquhar Honors College

Undergraduate Student Symposium

The Undergraduate Student Symposium, sponsored by the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences, presents student projects through presentations, papers, and poster displays. The event serves as a “showcase” demonstrating the outstanding scholarship of undergraduate students at NSU. The Symposium is open to undergraduate students from all disciplines. Projects cover areas of student scholarship ranging from the experimental and the applied to the computational, theoretical, artistic, and literary. They are taken from class assignments as well as from independent projects. The projects do not have to be complete; presentations can represent any stage in the concept’s evolution, from proposal and literature …

Insights Into Substrate Specificity And Metal Activation Of Mammalian Tetrahedral Aspartyl Aminopeptidase, Yuanyuan Chen, Erik R. Farquhar, Mark R. Chance, Krzysztof Palczewski, Philip D. Kiser

Faculty Scholarship

Aminopeptidases are key enzymes involved in the regulation of signaling peptide activity. Here, we present a detailed biochemical and structural analysis of an evolutionary highly conserved aspartyl aminopeptidase called DNPEP. We show that this peptidase can cleave multiple physiologically relevant substrates, including angiotensins, and thus may play a key role in regulating neuron function. Using a combination of x-ray crystallography, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, and single particle electron microscopy analysis, we provide the first detailed structural analysis of DNPEP. We show that this enzyme possesses a binuclear zinc-active site in which one of the zinc ions is readily exchangeable with other …

Retinoids Regulate The Formation And Degradation Of Gap Junctions In Androgen-Responsive Human Prostate Cancer Cells., Linda Kelsey, Parul Katoch, Kristen E. Johnson, Surinder K. Batra, Parmender P. Mehta

Journal Articles: Biochemistry & Molecular Biology

The retinoids, the natural or synthetic derivatives of Vitamin A (retinol), are essential for the normal development of prostate and have been shown to modulate prostate cancer progression in vivo as well as to modulate growth of several prostate cancer cell lines. 9-cis-retinoic acid and all-trans-retinoic acid are the two most important metabolites of retinol. Gap junctions, formed of proteins called connexins, are ensembles of intercellular channels that permit the exchange of small growth regulatory molecules between adjoining cells. Gap junctional communication is instrumental in the control of cell growth. We examined the effect of 9-cis-retinoic acid and all-trans retinoic …

A Social Controversy: Autism Spectrum Disorder's Correlation To The Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccination, Lindsay A. Frye

Senior Honors Theses

A 1998 research study lead by Dr. Andrew Wakefield linked the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination as a probable cause to autism spectrum disorder. This publication has started a significant debate among healthcare professionals and instigated an anti-vaccination movement within the general population. This vaccination controversy was started by parents who readily accepted Wakefield’s findings as truth and frequently would choose to withdrawal the administration of vaccinations from their children’s care plans. There has also been disapproval by healthcare professionals over Wakefield’s study since numerous research teams have been unable to replicate his findings. This disagreement surrounding the MMR vaccination is likely …
