Abstract: <p>Innovative strategies to manage copious waste streams by upcycling feedstocks to valorized products which are then used in environmental remediation applications is an attractive circular economy model. This thesis explores this approach using waste wood generated from the milling of Chlorocardium rodiei (greenheart), a tropical hardwood species abundant in Guyana. We evaluate the… more

Abstract: <p>Giardia intestinalis is a protozoan parasite that causes waterborne diarrheal disease in animals and humans. It is an unusual eukaryote as it lacks the capacity for heme biosynthesis; nonetheless it encodes heme proteins, including three cytochrome b5 isotypes (gCYTB5s) of similar size. Homology modelling of their structures predicts increased heme pocket polarity compared to mammalian… more
