The application of the Multi-Component Reaction (MCR) strategy in the design and synthesis of new antiplasmodial and antimycobacterial agents
Malaria and tuberculosis are ancient diseases that continue to have a profound impact on mankind, 5 millennia after their first documentation. Malaria is endemic in more than 100 countries and about 50% of the world's population is at risk of infection. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for nearly 91% of …

10:31, MCR: a practice-as-research project that investigates ethical dramaturgical approaches to politically sensitive theatre-making with and for young people.
… process leading up to the production of 10:31, MCR, where different techniques of making, taking somatic approaches to shape stage action from the ‘voices of others’. The study of the three practices is encompassed within a conceptual framework utilising the writing of Amanda Stuart-Fisher …

Recombinant Expression and Assembly of Methyl Coenzyme-M reductase
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is the key enzyme involved in the production of methane by methanogenic archaea and its consumption by anaerobic methanotrophs (ANME). MCR is a multimeric complex composed of six different subunits arranged in a 2α, 2β, 2γ configuration that requires two molecules …

Distinct biochemical and molecular mechanisms confer resistance to mesotrione and atrazine in a multiple herbicide-resistant waterhemp population
… herbicides in a waterhemp population designated MCR. Experiments were conducted to determine if target-site or non-target-site mechanisms confer mesotrione resistance in MCR. Additionally, the basis for atrazine resistance was investigated in MCR and an atrazine-resistant, but …

Post-translational modifications of methyl-coenzyme m reductase in methanosarcina acetivorans
Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the last step in methanogenesis and the first step in anaerobic methane oxidation, producing gigatons of methane annually and playing a vital role in the biological methane cycle. This enzyme is found solely in methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea, …

Does mental context reinstatement mitigate Retrieval Induced Forgetting in eyewitnesses?
… also assessing Mental Context Reinstatement (MCR) as a tool to mitigate this forgetting. Various methodological shortcomings of similar past research were addressed and systematically altered to better replicate the procedures of a real investigation. Participants were exposed to a mock-crime …

Biochemical and molecular basis for metabolism-based atrazine resistance in Amaranthus tuberculatus
… from central Illinois (designated ACR and MCR) did not possess a point mutation in psbA (encoding the D1 protein, the target site for atrazine), but rapid production of atrazine-glutathione conjugates indicated that elevated rates of metabolism may be a major resistance mechanism. My …

Functional and mechanistic elucidation of peptide backbone thioamidation
… protein complexes: methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) and the ribosome. Genetic studies in the methanogen Methanosarcina acetivorans have linked the thioamide in MCR with ycaO and its neighboring gene tfuA, which has no known function. In this thesis, I report the in vitro thioamidation of an …

Investigating the Distribution and Biosynthesis of Modified F<sub>430</sub> Cofactors in Methanogenic and Methanotrophic Archaea
… into liquid fuels. Methyl coenzyme M reductase (Mcr) catalyzes the final reaction of methanogenesis in methanogens and the first reaction in the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) carried out by the anaerobic methanotrophs (ANME). Cofactor F<sub>430</sub>, a unique nickel-containing …

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a fire-induced accident scenario involving binary variables and mechanistic codes
… a fire present. Fire induced Main Control Room (MCR) abandonment scenarios are a significant contributor to the total Core Damage Frequency (CDF) estimate of many operating nuclear power plants. Many of the resources spent on fire PRA are devoted to quantification of the probability that a fire …

Psychometric Evaluation of the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching (NCAT) Scale in Two Samples of Mothers and Children
<p>The mother-child relationship (MCR) has received an increasing amount of attention over the last several decades regarding its effect on long-term child development. Because the quality and quantity of interactions in the MCR have been established as important predictors of the child’s …

Evolution of Nuclear Integrations of the Mitochondrial Genome in Great Apes and their Potential as Molecular Markers
<p>The mitochondrial control region (MCR) has played an important role as a population genetic marker in many taxa but sequencing of complete eukaryotic genomes has revealed that nuclear integrations of mitochondrial DNA (numts) are abundant and widespread across many taxa. If left undetected, …

Crustal modification by tectonic events and upper mantle anisotropy beneath the Midcontinent Rift and New Madrid Seismic Zone: insights from receiver function studies and teleseismic shear wave splitting
… Seismic Zone (NMSZ) and the Midcontinent Rift (MCR). Shear wave splitting analysis in the MCR reveals the presence of fossilised anisotropy along the rift axis...In the NMSZ, anticipated rift-parallel fast directions associated with vertical magmatic dikes or along-rift flow, rift-orthogonal …

Non-target-site resistance to ALS inhibitors in waterhemp
… considerably. A waterhemp population (designated MCR) from Illinois with resistance to HPPD and atrazine was found to segregate for both high and moderate levels of resistance to ALS inhibitors. Plants in this population with high-level resistance had the Trp574Leu ALS mutation, which is present …
