Proteomic Analysis of the Blood of <i>Alligator mississippiensis</i>
My research focus was to investigate alligator blood using mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods to understand their innate immune systems. The first goal was to sequence peptides and proteins from the blood serum and leukocytes using tandem mass spectrometry and <i>de novo</i> sequencing. The …

Evolution of the structure and function of vertebrate brain gonadotropin-releasing hormone
… that these two GnRHs occur in all birds. In alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) brain only two GnRHs were detected. These forms co-eluted with Gln⁸-GnRH and His⁵,Trp⁷,Tyr⁸-GnRH in two HPLC systems. They cross-reacted similarly to the two synthetic peptides with antisera directed against …
