The effects of structural modifications on sigma receptor binding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
affinity was not affected significantly by the size of the dioxy ring. The modification of the strained tetrahydroisoquinoline ring with a freely rotating amine chain maintained the sigma1 affinity unchanged, while decreasing the sigma2 binding affinity...
Probing supramolecular assemblies via fluorescent reporter molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Supramolecular, self-assembled nanocapsules have shown the capability to encapsulate organic guests. Since most of the work was done previously in the solid state, the novelty of this research was its focus on probing ...
Development of advanced chemometric methods for the analysis of deep-UV resonance Raman spectra of proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Ultra violet resonance Raman (UVRR) is a powerful spectroscopic technique for determining the secondary structural content of proteins in solution. ...
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 ...
Investigation of K₀ NAA at MURR and investigation of the toenail as a biomonitor for Mg, Zn, Cu, Se and Hg
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Chapter 1: The K[subscript 0] method of neutron activation analysis (INAA) requires a stable core and neutron flux parameterization. The stability of ...
Anisotropic organic materials : ferroelectric crystals and spin-polarized radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
dipole alignment with computations and experiments. The last chapter of the dissertation is concerned with an entirely different topic, namely the challenges of preparing college students for science communication. In Chapter 7, the design and development...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
and error checking based upon self-complementary hydrogen bonding has resulted in the formation of nanometer-sized spheroidal structures. he following dissertation comprises three closely related sets of studies, the design and construction of large...
Diels-alder reactions of a cyclopentadienone derivative
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An ester derivative of cyclopentadienone, a very reactive species, was generated from methyl-2-bromo-3-oxocyclopent-1-enecarboxylate (96) which dimerized instantaneously and decarbonylated to generate an indanone (97). ...
