Anisotropic energy transport properties of 1,3,5-Triamino-2,4,6-Trinitrobenzene (TATB)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Anisotropic energy transport properties were determined theoretically for crystals of the insensitive explosive 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) using molecular dynamics simulations. Determination of these ... -
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 ... -
Iron-platinum nanoparticles as multifunctional vehicles in imaging and drug delivery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In the United States alone, approximately 1.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer and over 500,000 people die of cancer each year. According to ... -
Molecular dynamics simulations of the shock response of the energetic materials pentaerythritol tetranitrate and hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-s-triazine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)Energetic materials are the key active ingredients in explosive formulations. Understanding the response of energetic materials is vital for the design of safe and reliable explosives. It is a challenge to experimentally ... -
Polystyrene coated iron-platinum drug delivery platforms for theranostics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States, exceeded only by heart disease, and it is estimated that one in every four deaths is ... -
Small molecule-based approaches toward elucidation of structure and properties of abasic site-derived interstrand DNA crosslinks /
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Damage to DNA is both a naturally occurring and environmentally induced process that can have serious biological consequences, such as mutation and ... -
Structural studies of type B proline utilization A (PutA) proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis addresses the structural studies of the type B proline utilization A (PutA) proteins. Proline utilization A (PutA) catalyzes the oxidation ... -
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 ...
