COPPER CHEMISTRY OF PYRIDYLALKYLBENZAMIDE LIGANDS: MODELING THE CUZ CENTER OF N2OR AND COORDINATION POLYMER CHEMISTRY
(2011)
In nature, the reduction of N2O to N2 is the terminal step of the denitrification process, which is catalyzed by nitrous oxide reductase (N2OR). The catalytic CuZ center was found to be a novel μ4-sulfide bridged ...
DEVELOPING ELECTROOSMOTIC-PUMP-BASED MINIATURIZED DEVICES: TOWARD A LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY CARTRIDGE COUPLED WITH MASS SPECTROMETER AND A SUB-PICOLITER PIPETTOR FOR SINGLE CELL SURGERY
(2017-06)
There has been increasing interest on miniaturizing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), since it can reduce the costs of instrument manufacturing and perform onsite analysis. The electroosmotic pump (EOP) is one ...
Nitrogenation of Hydrocarbons via Transition-Metal and Non-Metal Catalysis
(2010)
The overall objective in the Nicholas Group's Amination Project is to develop
Analysis of the effect of student cognizance of the Learning Cycle in general chemistry
(2012)
While the benefits of the using the Learning Cycle have been well researched, one area that has received surprisingly little investigation is the effect that student cognizance of the learning cycle has on student performance ...
CATALYST EVOLUTION VIA DYNAMIC COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY
(2010)
Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is a combinatorial method of synthesis utilizing complex mixtures under thermodynamic control, called dynamic combinatorial libraries (DCL). The addition of a template molecule which ...
Oxo-Rhenium Catalyzed Transformation of Alcohols: Deoxydehydration and Reductive Coupling
(2016-08)
One of the challenges for the future is to find alternative energy and chemical resources to petrol. Biomass-derived feedstocks offer a renewable source of highly oxygenated molecules. Recent chemical processes for the ...
BIOLOCIAL EVALUATION OF MITOCHONDRIA-TARGETING PHOTOSENSTIZERS AND SITE-SPECIFIC PRODRUGS
(2013)
This dissertation focuses on two different delivery mechanisms utilizing the principle of PDT with a goal to enhance the availability of the cytotoxic agent at the tumor site.
THE BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF TWO PHOSPHORELAY SIGNALING PROTEINS: YPD1 HOMOLOGS FROM SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE AND CRYPTOCOCCUS NEOFORMANS
(2016-08)
Histidine-to-aspartate multi-step phosphorelay systems are used extensively by eukaryotes and bacteria to sense and respond to changes in their external environment and to control the regulation of crucial biological ...
Plasmonic Properties and Enhanced Fluorescence of Gold and Dye-Doped Silica Nanoparticle Aggregates
(2013)
The development of metal-enhanced fluorescence has prompted a great interest in augmenting the photophysical properties of fluorescent molecules with noble metal nanostructures. Our research efforts, outlined in this ...
HOST-GUEST COMPLEXATION OF BENZYL AND XYLYL AMMONIUM GUESTS WITH CUCURBIT[7]URIL FOR SHUTTLE ROTAXANES
(2017-12)
Bistable rotaxanes are considered to be important design elements of molecular devices for a wide range of applications, such as controlled drug release, molecular machines, and molecular sensors and shuttles. The interest ...
