Positron interactions with oriented polymers and with chiral quartz crystals
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Positron annihilation in various materials has been applied to characterize
microstructure for decades. In this work, PALS was used to study material nanostructure,
with a focus on the size and density of free volume ...
Synthesis, Characterization and Device Studies of Conjugated Foldamers
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Conjugated polymers have found a wide range of electronic applications in last few
decades due to their superior combination of optoelectronic, mechanical properties, and
solution processability. In the past few years, ...
Effects of Selected Contaminants on the Physical, Chemical, and Geotechnical Properties of Aquifer Solid
(2014)
contaminants on the hydraulic conductivity of sand. Bulk sand samples from the Missouri River Valley aquifer— a major source of groundwater supply in the U.S. Midwest— were collected for this study. Sand samples, representing the aquifer and vadose zone...
Protein production and applications of NMR in pharmaceutical sciences
(2014-08-28)
The objective of Part I (Protein production for structural elucidation using NMR) is to design and develop strategies of producing amyloid beta protein for structural analysis using NMR. Amyloid beta oligomers are considered ...
Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel intercalator analogs targeting therapeutically important polymerases and folded RNA
(2013)
Polymerases and ribonucleic acids have been found to play major roles in the
causation and progression of several diseases. Targeting such important therapeutic targets
using small molecules can help achieve their specific ...
Development of Protein Based PCBP2 siRNA Nanocomplex for Liver Fibrosis Therapy
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop a protein-based siRNA
nanocomplex for the treatment of alcoholic liver fibrosis. Our laboratory recently
discovered that silencing the poly (rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) ...
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; ...
Raman, Infrared and Microwave Spectra, Conformational Stability, R₀ Structural Parameters and Vibrational Assignments of Some Organoamines, Organophosphines, Alcohols And Substituted Four And Five Membered Rings
(2014)
The infrared and Raman spectra of compounds with amino, phosphours, silane and hydroxyl functional groups, as well as some with cyclic skeletal structures have been recorded of the gas and in condensed phases. Temperature ...
