Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Stress Protein Response as a Biochemical Water Quality Biomonitoring Method
Description:
The stress protein response (SPR) is a conserved and ubiquitous mechanism that enables cells to tolerate a wide variety of environmental insults. This response involves the preferential synthesis of an array of proteins with different molecular weights. These proteins perform a variety of functions, such as protein folding, multimeric protein assembly, steroid receptor binding, and heme catabolism.
To evaluate the potential use of the SPR as a biomonitoring tool, a stepwise plan was utilized th…
