1. Controlling Weapons of Mass Destruction : An Evaluation of International Security Regime Significance
Sammanfattning : This dissertation conducts an in-depth examination of the three weapons of mass destruction control regimes: the nuclear non-proliferation regime, the biological weapons control regime, and the chemical weapons control regime (NBC weapon control regimes). By examining a number of key indicators, this study investigates the specific ways each regime makes or does not make a difference in its respective issue area. LÄS MER
2. The Path to Destruction : Understanding the mechanism and regulation of proteasomal degradation
Sammanfattning : A majority of intracellular proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). In this thesis, both the mechanism of the degradation and the regulation of UPS have been investigated. The importance of the p97 ATPase for proteasomal degradation of cytosolic substrates was examined. LÄS MER
3. Modeling Genome Evolution : Creation, Change and Destruction
Sammanfattning : Historically, evolution has been studied either by looking at morphological traits in living organisms and the fossil record, or by using bioinformatics and comparative genomics. While highly useful for deducing evolutionary history, these approaches are not particularly well suited for studying the mechanisms of evolution. LÄS MER
