Metals hosts in the Pennsylvanian Hushpuckney and Stark Black Shales from Selected Areas in Kansas City
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
The Hushpuckney Shale of the Swope Formation and the Stark Shale of the Dennis
Formation, two black shales in the Pennsylvanian Kansas City group, contain elevated
concentrations of transition and based metal elements, ...
Effects of Selected Contaminants on the Physical, Chemical, and Geotechnical Properties of Aquifer Solid
(2014)
The primary objective of this study was to investigate the potential effects of hydrocarbons on the geotechnical properties of sand. A series of laboratory experiments were carried out to ascertain the influence of some common and widespread organic...
Metabolomic Analysis of Bacterial Cell Wall Intermediates Using LC-MS/MS: Peptidoglycan Pathway Response to Different Antibiotics
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
The bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan (PG) and its synthesis is of
interest as a target for several antibiotics and for new inhibitor development. Peptidoglycan
biosynthesis is a complex process which ...
Biogeochemistry and inorganic geochemistry as indicators of the paleoenvironment and paleohydrology of the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan
(2013)
This study investigates the biogeochemical and inorganic geochemical
indicators for past environments and paleohydrology of a high resolution sediment record
from the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan. The second largest basin in ...
Metabolomics and chemical library screening for antibacterial drug discovery
(2020)
There are twenty standard amino acids which are proteinogenic and can exist in two stereoisomeric forms, D- and L-enantiomers, except for glycine, which is achiral. The D-amino acids are not incorporated in proteins; ...
Refinement and Applications of Light Controlled Biological Processes
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
For understanding of biological processes, a spatiotemporal control over these processes is needed. Controlling these processes using light can give us the advantage of a precise control over spacing, timing and degree of ...
Library Screening and Focused Multiomics of Antibacterial Action on Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci faecium
(2023)
peptidoglycan (PG) biosynthesis pathway whereby D-Alanine-D-Alanine is replaced by D-Alanine-D-Lactate (Lac), to which vancomycin cannot bind effectively. While the general features of this resistance mechanism are well known, the details of the choreography...
Engineering of Human Acid Phosphatase Enzyme Sensitive Nanomedicine for HIV/AIDS Prevention by Topical Route
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
This study is divided into two aims. Aim #1 focuses on the development and
characterization of tenofovir (TFV) loaded a stimuli sensitive nanomedicine against male to
female HIV/AIDS infection. Aim #2 focus on the ...
