Investigation of the replacement of cysteine residues in DOTA-(Tyr³)-octreotate: synthesis, characterization and evaluation of biological activities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Modification of the peptide sequence of DOTA-Tyr³-octreotate is carried out by substituting the cysteine moieties with D-Cysteine, L-Penicillamine and D-Penicillamine in one or both positions to study the effect of this ...
Studies of natural products that reveal novel strategies for efficient modification of DNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
DNA is the central molecule in cells. The correct function of cells depends on the structure of DNA. DNA damaging natural products often show cytotoxic or mutagenic properties, which many times land them medicinal value ...
Applications of elemental analysis for archaeometric studies : analytical and statistical methods for understanding geochemical trends in ceramics, ochre and obsidian
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Three areas are covered in this dissertation: elemental analysis of Caborn-Welborn ceramics, elemental analysis and geochemical characterization of ochres, and construction and implementation of a portable XRF instrument ...
The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Heavy metals in the environment such as Cd, Hg and Pb are toxic to life forms. They can enter the ecological system through both natural and industrial sources. By developing chemical sensors that can detect these metals, ...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Supramolecular chemists can be thought of as the architects of the nano-scale world. We are primary concerned with the design and construction of ...
Anion and solvent influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The investigation of solvent and anion influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids are presented. As these extended solids vary in structural design as reactions conditions are varied, both those ...
Monte Carlo neutronic simulations for a new approach to parametric INAA and Mo-99 production feasibility at MURR
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A novel approach to parametric instrumental neutron activation analysis at MURR has been established. In particular, a detailed MCNP5 steady-state model of the MURR core was developed. The model, which was based on the ...
Nitrosative guanosine deamination : pyrimidine ring opening implications of effects in homogeneous solution as well as anisotropic environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years a great deal of interest has been focused on the exposure to nitrous acid (HNO2), nitric oxide (NO) and other nitrosating species ...
Molecular organic solids for gas adsorption and solid-gas interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This following dissertation comprises three closely related sets of studies in order to explore the potential of molecular organic solids as a new ...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
