Structural and chemical studies of RNA as anti-cancer target and signaling molecule
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-06)Ribonucleic acids have been found to have a major role in causation and propagation of diseases. Targeting such therapeutically important RNA can be a method of treatment of various diseases. Two such therapeutically ... -
Structural and enzymatic characterization of bacterial cell wall enzymes: focus on penicillin-binding proteins
(2013)The research presented in this dissertation was aimed at understanding several structural and biochemical features underlying the bacterial cell wall biosynthetic process using statistical, biochemical and analytical tools. ... -
Sustained release nanoparticles containing acyclovir prodrugs for ocular herpes simplex keratitis and characterization of folate transport proteins in a corneal epithelial cell line
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-12-21)Ocular herpes is a persistent viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus-1. It is one of the most common infectious diseases causing corneal blindness in the United States. In this study, polymeric nanoparticles ... -
Synthesis and analysis of siloranes for use as a biomaterial and extended twisted molecular ribbons
(2013)The development of complex organic molecules with industrial potential requires meticulous synthetic methodologies coupled with detailed investigations surrounding their physical properties. This dissertation encompasses ... -
Synthesis, morphologies and applications of polyoxometalate-containing diblock copolymers
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-31)Block copolymers by virtue of their ability to self assemble and microphaseseparation due to the contrast in chemical and physical properties of the covalently linked blocks constitute the essential building blocks towards ... -
Synthesis, self-assembly and applications of tribenzopenta-phene derivatives and triphenylene-based conjugated foldamers
(2013)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are interesting discotic liquid crystalline materials. Their often planar or near-planar geometry and extended π-delocalization render them appealing π-π stacking building blocks ...
