SELF-ASSEMBLING PEPTIDES: FROM FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN TO THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS
(2022-08-16)
Supramolecular peptide-based biomaterials have attracted much attention from researchers in various science and engineering fields because of the ease of synthesis and precise control over structures and physicochemical ...
IMPROVED FISCHER-TROPSCH SYNTHESIS BY THERMAL MANAGEMENT OF THE CATALYST
(2021-08-10)
The research in this dissertation consists of a novel catalyst design which is aimed at helping manage the temperature instabilities and heat-transfer within a catalyst particle and maintaining an isothermal temperature ...
Total Synthesis of Imidazole-Containing β-Carboline Alkaloids and Pyrrole-Imidazole Alkaloids
(2021-12-20)
The first part in this dissertation focuses on the development of an enantioselective total synthesis of villagorgin A, from another natural product haploscleridamine. Haploscleridamine was targeted first as it was thought ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of the adenylate kinase enzyme and its mutant states
(2022-12-19)
Adenylate kinase (AK) is a small, monomeric enzyme present across all domains of life. It is responsible for maintaining homeostasis of an intracellular adenylate pool and catalyzes a reversible transfer of the phosphoryl ...
Multinuclear copper(I) and silver(I) pyrazolates: synthesis, luminescence, and catalysis
(2021-12-08)
Copper and silver pyrazolate complexes have numerous fascinating properties such as luminescence, catalytic ability, and complexation with small molecules. Using both more widely studied non-fluorinated pyrazolates and ...
AQUEOUS-BASED ASSOCIATED SOLVENTS FOR PROTEIN AND PEPTIDE FRACTIONATION AND PROTEIN PURIFICATION
(2022-01-03)
The focus of this dissertation is studying capabilities of a novel two-phase system in enhancing protein identification in the whole-cell proteomics studies. In this document, two types of biphasic systems have been used ...
FLUOROALCOHOL INDUCED SUPRAMOLECULAR BIPHASIC SYSTEMS OF ZWITTERIONIC SURFACTANTS, MIXED AMPHIPHILES, AND POLAR ORGANIC SOLVENTS IN PROTEOMICS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
(2021-12-17)
In this research, we have investigated several HFIP-induced biphasic systems of zwitterionic surfactants like CHAPS and DMMAPS and their mixed amphiphilic systems for the extraction, enrichment, and fractionation of mixture ...

(2023-08-23)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 08/01/2024** In recent years, there has been a growing interest in semiconductor photoelectrodes that can effectively split water into hydrogen and oxygen using sunlight. ...
Long non-coding RNAs in inflammation, macrophage activation, and inflammatory human diseases
(2023-08-28)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed until 08/01/2025** Inflammation and immune signaling is central to infection and diseases. Growing evidence suggests that along with protein coding genes, long non-coding RNAs ...
COPPER(I) AND SILVER(I) COMPLEXES OF OLEFINS, ALKYNES, AND CYCLOPROPENES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
(2022-05-17)
Poly(pyrazolyl)borates are very popular ligands in organometallic chemistry due to their attractive properties. It is easy to modify the steric and electronic properties of these ligands by changing the pyrazolyl substituents. ...
