Determining the Structures and Properties of Biologically-relevant Ions
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-09)Gas phase studies of biologically relevant ions are increasing in popularity due to the possibility of high throughput analysis requiring minimum sample concentrations. This thesis explores the potential of differential ... -
Preparation of a Multi-Part Varkud Satellite Ribozyme Variant for Kinetics Studies
(University of Waterloo, 2009-09-22)The Varkud Satellite (VS) ribozyme is the largest of the “small” nucleolytic ribozymes and is the only one for which there are no high resolution crystal structures available. The VS ribozyme comprises a catalytic domain ... -
A Selective Na+ Aptamer Dissected by Sensitized Tb3+ Luminescence
(Wiley, 2016-08-17)A previous study of two RNA-cleaving DNAzymes, NaA43 and Ce13d, revealed the possibility of a common Na+ aptamer motif. Because Na+ binding to DNA is a fundamental biochemical problem, the interaction between Ce13d and Na+ ...
