Study of Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence of Dye-Doped Silica Nanoparticles
(2012)
Enhancement of molecular fluorescence is of great interest due to the widespread popularity of fluorescence-based detection techniques available today. Although fluorescence-based detection is considered to be more sensitive ...
Solid Acid Catalyzed Polysaccharide Hydrolysis
(2012)
In addition to the rising costs of gasoline and the depletion of fossil fuels, air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels has increased the need to develop alternative renewable fuels. One possible alternative is the ...
IN VIVO FLUORESCENCE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ESCHERICHIA COLI OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEIN FEPA
(2012)
Opportunistic microbial pathogens rely heavily on acquisition of nutrients to survive hostile environments. The complexity and redundancy of iron acquisition systems in bacteria illustrates the importance of iron in cellular ...
SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION, ELECTROCHEMISTRY, AND SPECTROELECTROCHEMISTRY OF GROUP 8 METALLOPORPHYRIN COMPLEXES
(2012)
This dissertation describes the investigations of nitric oxide (NO) and possible NO donors with group 8 metalloporphyrins.
CONSTANT-pH MOLECULAR DYNAMICS SIMULATIONS: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS
(2012)
Constant-pH molecular dynamics has recently emerged as a useful technique for studying the microscopic details underlying pH dependent properties of proteins. We further develop continuous constant-pH molecular dynamics ...

MEASURING RATE CONSTANTS FOR THE REACTION OF HYPOCHLOROUS ACID AND BIOLOGICALLY RELEVANT MOLECULES
(2012)
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a neutrophil-derived oxidant that is used to kill invading pathogens. Since HOCl reacts indiscriminately with biological molecules, such as amino acids, excess or misplaced production of HOCl ...
CUCURBIT[7]URIL MEDIATED VIOLOGEN-FLUOROPHORE DYAD FOR FLUORESCENCE OFF/ON SWITCH
(2012)
CUCURBIT[7]URIL MEDIATED VIOLOGEN-FLUOROPHORE
DESIGN AND SYNTHESES OF SUPRAMOLECULAR SCAFFOLDS FOR CATALYSIS AND AQUEOUS MOLECULAR RECOGNITION
(2012)
Organic supramolecular systems can be considered as one of the most advanced tools of physical organic chemistry for catalysis. The main aim of the supramolecular model systems for the study of catalytic processes is to ...
