Predicting RNA secondary structures using physics-based modeling and evolutionary inferences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
impact our understanding of RNA functions. However, pseudoknot folding models are limited by the availability of thermodynamic parameters and experimental data. In the fourth project, we develop a new model, Vfold2D-MD, for RNA pseudoknot folding. The key...
An investigation of the single-molecule biophysics of membrane systems with atomic force microscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
resolution (approx 100 ms), and is thus poised for critical single-molecule research. This dissertation utilizes the AFM for two membrane-related studies, namely, understanding the mechanisms underlying i) P-glycoprotein (Pgp) mediated efflux which causes...
Photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles studies of two-dimensional Dirac and Weyl materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous research interest since the breakthrough of graphene. As the nature of the low dimension, 2D materials are thin, flexible, and easy for fabrication. More interestingly, ...
Elucidation of quantum magnetic dynamics in semi-classical honeycomb lattice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] The artificial spin ice systems are essentially arrays of single domain nanomagnets with specifically designed patterns, e.g. squares, honeycombs, etc. As a natural extension of the classical ...
