Title: Assessing the Impact of Buffer Salt Choice on the Formation of DNA I-Motifs
Author: West, Caroline
Date Created: 2023
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: I-motifs are intercalated cytosine quadruplexes discovered in 1993, but they weren’t shown to exist in the cell nucleus until 2018. While their biological role has yet to be fully elucidated, they have been implicated in regulating expression of s...

Title: Bacterial Glycan Immobilization for Interacting Partner Analysis
