Hydrothermal Syntheses, Structures, and Properties of New Iodate and Selenite Compounds of Transition Metals, Lanthanides, and Actinides
(2008-09-09)
Iodate and selenite anions possessing a nonbonding, but stereochemically active lone pairs of electrons, were selected as building blocks to produce new compounds with noncentrosymmetric structures, a prerequisite for ...
Synthesis and Characterization of New Lanthanide Chalcogenides
(2008-09-09)
A large number of new ternary and quaternary lanthanide chalcogenides have been synthesized through solid-state reactions of corresponding elements with the aid of alkali metal halides and Sb2Q3 (Q = S, Se) fluxes. Molten ...
Isoprenoid synthesis: New roles for iron sulfur clusters
(2008-09-09)
Spectroscopic investigations of the GcpE and LytB enzymes involved in the last two steps of the DOXP pathway for isoprene synthesis have been described. YfgB, one of the accessory proteins has also been characterized.

Exploring sinefungin analogs as potential antiviral agents
(2008-09-09)
Sinefungin bears a strong structural resemblance to S-adenosylmethionine and S-adenosylhomocysteine and, therefore is one of the most potent inhibitors of viral mRNA methyl transferase. Besides antiviral activity, sinefungin ...
Studies to Elucidate the Mechanism of Reduced Flavin Transfer in the Alkanesulfonate Monooxygenase System from Escherichia coli
(2008-09-09)
The two-component alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system utilizes reduced flavin as a substrate to catalyze a unique desulfonation reaction during times of sulfur starvation. The flavin reductase (SsuE) provides reduced ...
Tris(1,3-Dihydroxy-2-propyl)amine, A Planar Trialkylamine: Synthesis, Structure, and Properties. A Potential Precursor to Hypervalent Nitrogen
(2008-09-09)
The hindered amine tris(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propyl)amine, 36, is a potential precursor to possible examples of nitrogen hypervalency. There are no simple, effective, and general methods to synthesize hindered tertiary amines. ...
The Synthesis and Practical Applications of Novel N-Halamine Biocides
(2009-02-23)
A novel set of N-halamine siloxane precursors were synthesized for the purpose of coating various substrates to determine the factors, which are the most dominant influences of the overall stability of the newly modified ...
Chemically Modified Electrodes: A Supramolecular Assembly Approach
(2009-02-23)
The main objective of this dissertation is to design and study new superamolecular assemblies for membrane separation, sensing and catalysis applications. Three types of supramolecular assemblies will be addressed including ...
Elucidating the flavin reductase mechanism in the alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system from Escherichia coli
(2009-02-23)
The two-component alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system from Escherichia coli is comprised of an FMN reductase (SsuE) and a monooxygenase enzyme (SsuD) that together catalyze the oxidation of alkanesulfonate to the corresponding ...
Applications of Polyoxometalates as Electron Mediators
(2009-10-15)
The large variety of size, structure and elemental composition of polyoxometalates leads to a wide range of different properties. The primary goal of this dissertation is to study the structure-property relationship of ...
