This research was supported by the National Institutes of
Health (GM65597). NMR spectral data were collected with
instrumentation acquired through the NIH Shared Instrumen-
tation Grant program (S10OD011952). T.W. received support
from a Wayland E. Noland Fellowship and a University of
Minnesota Graduate School Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship.
