Determination of trace elements levels in plasma from larvae in the course of baculoviral and bacterial infections by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
While a number of studies have examined the effect of infections on the trace elements status of mammals, not any similar study in insects are found. In this study, we used inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry ...
Structural, biochemical, and inhibition studies of proline biosynthetic enzymes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase (PYCR) is the final enzyme in proline biosynthesis, catalyzing the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of [Delta]1-pyrroli ...
From carbon to copper : studies of novel nanomaterials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Nanomaterials are materials on the order of 10-9 m that are currently being investigated for use in a wide range of applications in the growing field of nanotechnology. This dissertation documents the synthesis, characterization, ...
(4+3)-cycloaddition chemists of oxidopyridinium ions and related study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The (4+3)-cycloaddition reaction is a cycloaddition between a 4-atom species and a 3-atom species to form a seven-membered ring. This reaction results in the formation of seven-membered rings. Our research expanded the ...
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
excellent catalytic activity in 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) reduction. Chapter 3 describes one-pot aqueous photo-assisted route to produce tailored metal nanoparticles decorated aminoclay nanosheets. This method uses no heating or external reducing agent (e.g., Na...
Copper (I) coordination networks synthesized with solid-solid reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The use of solid-solid reactions in the development of one-, two-, and three dimensional Cu(I) coordination networks are discussed. The solid-solid reactions were monitored by a variety of instrumental techniques to achieve ...
Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of sigma receptor ligands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Sigma receptors are involved in several biological processes, and sigma ligands might be promising as cancer treatment agents, cocaine abuse medicines, and valuable psychiatric drugs. In an attempt to elucidate effectual ...
Docosahexaenoic acid and lipid peroxidation products : insights from studies with microglial cells and mouse brain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Oxidative stress is known to play an important role in neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are the primary innate immune cells in the central nervous ...
Radioanalytical multi-elemental analysis : new methodology and archaeometric applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Several projects are covered in this dissertation: the application of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and rigorous statistical analyses to the sourcing of Egyptian limestone and Kenyan obsidian, and the ...
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, ...
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 ...
