Development of advanced chemometric methods for the analysis of deep-UV resonance Raman spectra of proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Ultra violet resonance Raman (UVRR) is a powerful spectroscopic technique for determining the secondary structural content of proteins in solution. However, the analyses of UVRR spectra can be problematic due to the ... -
Purification and characterization of A[beta] and probing the interactions between myricetin and A[beta] using various spectroscopic methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Worldwide, millions of people suffer from symptoms of memory loss and confusion associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence suggests a close relationship between AD and aggregation of a naturally occurring ... -
Spectroscopic investigations of the beta-amyloid peptide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)The focus of this project is two-fold: examining the native structures of three different fragments of the beta-amyloid (A[beta]) peptide, and attempting to overcome some of the difficulties encountered in such an examination. ...
