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 ...
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 ...
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; ...
Discovery and Delivery of Peptide-Based Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors Targeting Pd-L1 for Cancer Immunotherapy
(2022)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop peptide-based immune checkpoint inhibitors that block the interaction between programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and its receptor programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) ...
