Copper(II) 2-Quinoxalinol Salen Type Ligands as Catalysts for C-H Oxidation Reactions
(2020-04-09)
C-H oxidation is a powerful tool that has changed the face of synthetic organic chemistry over the last several years. Here, we explore the oxidation of alkynes to α,β-acetylenic carbonyls using only 1 mol % of an inexpensive ...
Development and Application of New Platforms for Oligonucleotide and Protein Assays
(2020-07-20)
Sensitive and rapid detection of infectious disease is becoming very significant to improve human health. We have seen that the sensitive methods often required expensive, and sophisticated instruments. Biosensors are ...
How an Arginine Switch Promotes the Self-preservation of an Hydrogen Peroxide-degrading Enzyme KatG: the Strategic Use of an Active-Site Tryptophan
(2020-07-30)
Catalase-peroxidase (KatG) is a heme-dependent enzyme and an effective H2O2 disposal catalyst, sustaining life for many archaea, bacteria, and lower eukaryotes. Many pathogens employ KatG catalase activity (2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O ...
Improving bipolar electrode sensors by improving electrochemiluminescence efficiency of Ru(bpy)3Cl2
(2020-09-28)
Bipolar electrochemistry belongs to the branch of electrochemistry where cathodic and anodic processes can be coupled. As there is no direct contact establishes between the bipolar electrodes and electrical connection, the ...
Investigations of the Counter-Intuitively Short Lifetimes of the Visible Emission from Laser-Induced Plasma from RDX
(2020-05-18)
Abstract
Through multiple studies on laser generated plasmas of materials, four phenomena have been curious and unexplainable regarding the non-energetic material polycarbonate (PC) and energetic material ...
Giant Janus Liposomes: Preparation, Self-Assembly and Motion
(2020-07-17)
Presented in this Dissertation are a series of studies on Janus liposomes, their formation,
self-assembly and motion behaviors. Liposomes are closed, spherical lipid bilayer assemblies
dispersed in water. Since their ...
Development of Nucleic Acid Driven Peptide and Protein Sensors and Their Integration with Automated Microfluidics
(2020-08-14)
Accurate detection of disease-associated biomolecules is one of the most critical steps in diagnostics in the early stages of disease to provide appropriate health care and effective treatment to patients. In clinical ...
Redox-Active α-Diimines and Novel Schiff Base Ligands for Uranium Coordination Chemistry
(2020-04-30)
The use of nuclear power for electricity generation plays a large role in our highly energy-dependent economy, and provides a source of low-emission, renewable energy that is used worldwide. Despite the positive impacts ...
Structural Features That Promote Catalysis in Two-Component Systems Involved in Sulfur Metabolism
(2020-07-20)
Sulfur is an essential element important in the synthesis of biomolecules. Bacteria are able to assimilate inorganic sulfur for the biosynthesis of L-cysteine. Inorganic sulfate is often unavailable, so bacteria have evolved ...
Electrochemically Triggered Interfacial Deposition/Assembly of Materials
(2020-07-20)
Presented in this Dissertation is a new electrochemical methodology for surface deposition and interfacial assembly of materials. Using ferrocene-terminated self-assembled monolayers to electrochemically recruit polyelectrolytes ...
