OkstateShakespeare: Bringing special collections and digital humanities into the undergraduate classroom
(Association of College and Research Libraries, 2016)
This case study outlines a collaborative, semester-long instructional project for an upper-level undergraduate Shakespeare course at Oklahoma State University (OSU) utilizing the library's rare book resources and digital ...
Structure of a prophenoloxidase (PPO) from Anopheles gambiae provides new insights into the mechanism of PPO activation
(BioMed Central, 2016-01-05)
Background: Phenoloxidase (PO)-catalyzed melanization is a universal defense mechanism of insects against pathogenic and parasitic infections. In mosquitos such as Anopheles gambiae, melanotic encapsulation is a resistance ...
