LC-MS/MS method development for quantification of bioactive compounds in elderberry and garlic botanicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Elderberry (Sambucus nigra spp.) juice contains a variety of polyphenols mostly anthocyanins. In order to understand the variation of polyphenol levels by genotype, various elderberry juice samples were analyzed for total ... -
Crystal engineering of supramolecular complexes based on pyrogallol[4]arenes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Crystal engineering primarily deals with the understanding of intermolecular interactions in the context of crystal packing and thus utilizes this information for the designing and development of novel crystalline solid ... -
Nuclear forensic applications of uranium oxide chemistry and morphology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)The entire nuclear fuel cycle is a chemistry-intensive process, from accessing the raw materials from ore, to enriching and forming the fuels, to the eventual long-term disposition or reprocessing of the spent fuel. This ... -
Fluorescent sensors for the detection of glucosamine and thiaminase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Fluorescence chemical sensing is a highly important tool in science and industry with many applications in pharmaceutical screening, cell respiration, biological process control as well as biological isolation. Discussed ... -
Synthesis and properties of small molecules designed to covalently capture native and oxidized forms of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a validated target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The discovery of selective inhibitors with drug-like properties has proven to be challenging because there are ... -
Gold-coated lanthanide phosphate nanoparticles for targeted radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The success of a targeted radiotherapy system depends on its ability to carry and deliver its radioactive payload to a specific site. Lanthanide phosphate nanoparticles are highly stable in a variety of solvents. By ... -
A study of interpolating moving least-squares method on fitting potential energy surface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Interpolating moving least-squares method (IMLS) is a highly accurate fitting method. There are a lot of studies on how to use IMLS to fit potential energy surfaces (PESs). However, there are still only few IMLS-fitted ... -
Technetium and rhenium (I and V) complexes for radiopharmaceutical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Technetium and rhenium have radioactive isotopes that are clinically useful for diagnostic (Tc-99m) or therapeutic (Re-186/188) purposes. This makes them attractive candidates for incorporation into pharmaceuticals. One ... -
Small molecule-based approaches toward elucidation of structure and properties of abasic site-derived interstrand DNA crosslinks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Damage to DNA is both a naturally occurring and environmentally induced process that can have serious biological consequences, such as mutation and cancer. The interstrand crosslink is a particularly harmful form of DNA ... -
Surface chemistry studies of carbon dioxide with magnesium oxide and titanium dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)There is significant interest in methods to aid in the removal of carbon dioxide from our environment. The methods range from sequestration to catalytic transformations. In sequestration, CO2 is collected from emission ... -
The use of polyhedral borane derivatives as molecular electronic scaffolds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)When functionalized, the highly symmetrical, three-dimensional aromatic cluster, closo - dodecahydrododecaborate, or dodecaborate, has a two, one - electron oxidation pathway available to it. The framework of dodecaborate ... -
The development of exo-affinity labeling agents, inactivators of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The phosphorylation of a tyrosine substrate is one of the most crucial reactions that regulate numerous biological processes. The phosphorylation is controlled by protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) and protein tyrosine ... -
