Binding and transport through ferric siderophore receptors, FepA and FhuA.
(2006)
Under iron deficient conditions, Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli secrete siderophores to chelate iron in the extracellular medium. Ligand-gated porins (LGPs) transport the ferric siderophore complexes across the outer ...
A fixed-bed catalytic microreactor with repetitive injection gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis.
(2000)
The work presented here describes the development of a fixed bed catalytic microreactor capable of repetitive injection gas chromatographic analysis of microreactor effluent. The design of our fixed bed microreactor ...
Computational studies of polymer electrolyte complexes by molecular dynamics and molecular vibrations by principal component analysis.
(2003)
The second part (Chapter 4 and 5) focuses on computing vibrational frequencies and modes by using a new technique, principal component analysis (PCA) which is broadly used in signal processing, pattern recognition, and ...
Syntheses, molecular structures, and fiber-optic infrared spectroelectrochemistry of nitrosyl metalloporphyrins containing axially bound alkoxide, thiolate, imidazole, and imidazolate ligands.
(2006)
This dissertation describes the syntheses, molecular structures, and infrared spectroelectrochemistry of nitrosyl ruthenium and osmium porphyrins containing axially bound alkoxide, thiolate, imidazole, and imidazolate ligands.
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 ...
Creation of Hyper-Doped Crystalline Titania Thin Films by the Kinetic Doping Method for Solar Cell Anode Material
(2022-12-16)
This work outlines the general process of kinetic doping and how its benefits have been expanded from silica-based applications to use in titania thin films. While this has potential for many applications, the utilization ...
VIRUS-SELECTED OSTEOGENESIS-INDUCING PEPTIDES FOR ENHANCED BONE REGENERATION IN 3D PRINTED TITANIUM ALLOY IMPLANTS
(2018-12-14)
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are part of the transforming growth factor-β superfamily and function as key regulators of cellular growth, differentiation, and tissue formation. While recombinant BMPs can be used to ...
Interaction of Metal Ions with the Polyanionic Gram-Positive Cell Wall and the Effect of Antimicrobial Cationic Branched Polyethyleneimine on Metal Binding
(2014-12)
Metal binding is a known characteristic of the bacterial cell wall. Yet, the binding mechanisms and affinity constants are not fully understood. The cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is characterized by a thick layer of ...
Accessing Natural Products from Silent Biosynthetic Pathways Using Chemical Epigenetics
(2011)
Natural products have played a major role in the history of medicine. Despite this history, many view the area of natural products discovery to be tapped dry, thus the focus of drug development companies has shifted towards ...
Bacteriophage-based biomaterials for manipulating derivation and differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells
(2020-05)
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which are derived from somatic cells, can differentiate into any cell type. They are promising tools in medical applications including regenerative medicine, personalized cell therapy, ...
