Kinetic And Dynamic Insights Into The Substrate Interactions And Catalysis Of Factor Inhibiting Hif-1 (Fih-1), Cristina B. Martin Jul 2016

Kinetic And Dynamic Insights Into The Substrate Interactions And Catalysis Of Factor Inhibiting Hif-1 (Fih-1), Cristina B. Martin

Doctoral Dissertations

inhibiting HIF-1 (FIH-1) modulates the master regulator of hypoxia sensing, hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), by transcriptional repression making it an attractive potential target for treatment of hypoxia-related diseases. Given that similar enzymes are present within the cell and that they have other important physiological roles, defining the therapeutic window by which it can be selectively targeted becomes an issue. Consequently, it’s necessary to have a deeper understanding of the substrate interactions in FIH-1 that contributes to catalysis as this is one avenue that can be explored for future therapeutic investigations. The overall goal of this dissertation is to gain kinetic …


Black Soldier Fly Larvae Manual, Haeree H. Park Jan 2016

Black Soldier Fly Larvae Manual, Haeree H. Park

Student Showcase

This manual is a resource for fisheries, hatcheries, and farms of all types that wish to exercise a sustainable management system utilizing black soldier fly larvae through the minimization of waste. Although black soldier fly larvae can be fed to small livestock such as chickens and rodents, this project and manual are tailored specifically to freshwater fish in hopes of closing the significant gap and inefficiencies of fish management and subsequent waste throughout the New England coastal area. There is an evident opportunity to harness black soldier fly larvae’s extraordinary bioconversion of organic matter that can lead to not only …
