A study of the scope of metal-catalyzed allylic amination of olefins and an approach towards solid phase synthesis of unsymmetrical tertiary phosphines.
(1998)
A general route for the synthesis of N-alkoxy-N-alkylamidine hydrochlorides by reaction of organic nitriles with (N-alkyl-N-alkoxyammine)dimethylaluminum chloride (chapter 4, 26) is described.
Enhanced Sampling Methods for Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Proteins
(2018-12)
Due to the many folds existing in nature, proteins are able to perform a multitude of functions within cells. This relationship between structure and function is one of great importance and has added to the understanding ...
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.
Stereoselective Spirocyclizations Initiated by Metal Carbenes
(2019-05-10)
Within the field of drug design, there is a great interest in the development of synthetic libraries that mimic the structural complexity of natural product scaffolds. Recent cheminformatic analyses have revealed that 83% ...
Effect of lipid modification and AcrA-lipid interactions on the structure and oligomerization of AcrA
(2009)
A wide range of antibacterial agents including antibiotics can be expelled out of the cell by AcrAB-TolC complex. In this complex, the membrane fusion protein AcrA is located in the periplasm and essential for drug efflux. ...
Design of new molecular dynamics global minimum search protocols for mapping energy landscapes and conformations of folded polypeptides and mini-proteins.
(2005)
First, a new MD search strategy called DIvergent Path (DIP) search simulation is developed in which the simulations start with several independent polypeptides having the same initial coordinates and temperatures but ...
X-RAY CRYSTAL STRUCTURES AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE PRODUCTS FROM THE INTERACTIONS OF MYOGLOBIN WITH NITROGEN OXIDES AND ARYLHYDRAZINES, AND NITROREDUCTASE INTERACTIONS WITH ORGANIC NITRO COMPOUNDS
(2016-05)
This thesis describes research into the roles that metalloproteins and non-metalloproteins play in the biological inorganic/organic chemistry of common nitrogen oxides. There are three main chapters on this work: the first ...
Quantifying the intact proteome: optimization of analytical methods for high-throughput top-down proteomics
(2023-05-12)
Proteins play an indispensable cellular role within organisms and participate in a majority of biological functions, including enzymatic catalysis, immune reaction, and signaling. Multiple forms of a protein (i.e., ...
TonB dependent transport processes through Escherichia coli FepA.
(2007)
One of the previously proposed mechanisms of TonB is called the "shuttle hypothesis" which states that TonB shuttles from the inner membrane to the outer membrane. The data presented here demonstrates that TonB does not ...
