IdeR is an iron-dependent repressor protein, one of the essential proteins found in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. IdeR is a homologue of the diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR). IdeR controls iron acquisition and storage, moreover it binds...
Microwave reactors offer convenience in sealed tube, high temperature reactions that can lower reaction time, increasing the value of certain synthetic procedures. Benzylation of alcohols, carboxylic acids and arenes using 2-benzyloxy-1...
Notch signaling plays an important role in tissue differentiation and remodeling and has been extensively studied. Much has been learned about the Notch signaling pathway and consequences of defects within the path, yet little is...
Evaluation of Extraction Method and Characterization of Water Soluble Organics from Produced Water by Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry
With world consumption of crude oil at over 30 billion barrels per year, 2 petroleum provides the backbone for a multi-trillion dollar industry. However, this entire industry is built around the ability to convert crude oil into useful...
Microfluidics is the field of study involving the manipulation of fluid in devices with micron scale length dimensions and, typically, nano- to picoliter fluid volumes. Miniaturization gives rise to specific advantages in the field of...
Determining the Solution Conformational Entropy of Oligosaccharides: Isolating the Effects of Anomeric Configuration, Glycosidic Linkage, Degree of Polymerization, Linearity versus Cyclicity and Hydrogen Bonding
Oligosaccharides have various fundamental roles, ranging from providing nutritional and flavoring support to being involved in fertilization and parasite infection processes. Maltooligosaccharides are used heavily in the food and...
There has been a considerable interest in the fabrication and characterization of molecular magnets. A complex that has garnered a great deal of attention is Prussian blue, Fe(III)4[Fe(II)(CN)6]3, and its transition metal cyanide...
Effects of Blackberry and Blueberry Polyphenol Extracts on Nitric Oxide and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Production in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated RAW264.7 Macrophages
Plants are rich sources of polyphenols which are reported to play an important role in promotion of human health. Epidemiological studies have shown that populations who consume foods rich in polyphenols have lower incidence of chronic...
We have found that dipolar molecules in non-polar solvents are selectively heated by microwave radiation that leads to the observation of enhanced chemical reactivity under microwave irradiation, often referred to as the "specific...
The selective heating observed by Spencer et al. in 1946 by microwave irradiation is the same observation that is showing up in recent articles published on microwave driven reactions. The unique way in which microwaves heat some...
The systematic incorporation of Cr ions in a phase-pure silicalite-2 lattice was accomplished through a hydrothermal synthesis using 3, 5-dimethylpiperidinium as a templating agent. The chromium ions, after calcination to remove the...
This dissertation is comprised with two main research projects: fabrication of thin films through an epoxide-catalyzed sol-gel process, and the dynamics of the photothermal initiation of Al/Fe2O3 metastable interstitial composite (MIC)...
The use of binary inorganic solid-state fuel/oxidant redox processes typified by the classic aluminum/iron(III) oxide thermite reaction in combination with traditional energetic materials such as 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), hexahydro-1...
Thy-1 is being pursued as a model system for NMR studies of structure and dynamics of intact glycoproteins. However, the low expression yield of the Thy-1 EGFP glycoprotein in insect and mammalian cells has been an obstacle for these...
Mn-silicalite-2 was synthesized at high pH using the molecular cluster, Mn12O12(O2CCH3)16 as a Mn Source. No precipitation of manganese hydroxide was observed with this cluster even with the use of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as a...
