Floral Aromas and Funky Flavors : An Analysis of the X-zyme Brewing Adjunct and its Associated Enzyme Activity
Brandt, Michael; VandenHeuvel, Alec; Bailey-Hartsel, Scott (2022-04)Adjuncts have been used for centuries to improve various qualities of beer. Enzyme adjuncts work by facilitating specific chemical reactions to attain results that would normally take much longer or not be possible at all ... -
Please Don't Fade Away : Rebooting a Robust Series of Organelle-Specific Fluourescence Probes for New Purposes
Smith, Danielle; Ross, Rachel; Win, Nay Myo (2015-04)Our ultimate goal is to develop and license or market a specific set of probes which can be used to quantitatively and qualitatively monitor organelles, membrane domains, pH gradients and membrane potentials in live cells. -
The Side Effects of Popular Antifungal Drugs
Rigden, Gabrielle; Tourville, Claudia; Bailey-Hartsel, Scott (2018-05)Antifungal drugs such as Amphotericin B, Fluconazole, and Caspofungin have specific mechanisms of action which selectively eliminate fungal pathogens with lesser toxicity to the host. While antifungal drugs indeed target ... -
Spectroscopic Studies to Explore the Impact of Macromolecular Crowding on the Structure and Function of Escherichia coli of Prolyl-tRNA Synthetase
Adams, Lauren; Andrews, Ryan; Schmit, Heidi; Bailey-Hartsel, Scott; Hati, Sanchita (2016-10-14)Most computational and experimental studies to understand the molecular mechanism of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction are usually performed in dilute solutions. However, enzymatic activities in vivo occur in a crowded environment ... -
Watching Life and Death at a Cellular Level
Ross, Rachel; Tourville, Claudia; Rigden, Gabrielle; Lewis, David E.; Bailey-Hartsel, Scott (2017-04-07)The purpose of this study was to show that the poorly-tolerated antifungal drug Amphotericin B (AmB) causes collateral damage in human cells in part by depolarizing (short-circuiting) mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cell. -
When is a Bug a Feature? : Enzymatic Activity in the Beer Brewing Process
Birch, Cole M.; Leavens, Caterra M.; Sillman, Hunter W.; Voon, Aidan; Bailey-Hartsel, Scott (2022-04)The beer brewing industry has grown rapidly over the past several years. Because of this, the number of hop varieties has greatly expanded, making them a very valuable resource. To alleviate the financial strain, a ...
