-
(1991)The objective of this project was to design, construct and use a reflectron with a ²⁵²Cf plasma desorption mass spectrometer. In order to obtain the best results from the instrument, theoretical calculations of the effects ...
-
(1990)Group 6 metal anionic complexes, (CO)₅M(O₂CR)⁻ (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = Me, OPh , were investigated for potential catalytic properties that would mediate a copolymer synthesis. Copolymers made of alternating carbon dioxide and ...
-
(1977)Two systems were evaluated for their potential use in a novel photochemical solar energy storage method dubbed HELEOS (Hydrocarbon Entrapment of Light Energy of the Sun). This method consists of storing solar energy through ...
-
(2011-08-08)Nanomedicine is a growing field of medicine that seeks to take advantage of nanoscale materials in order to address current challenges such as the ability to cross the epithelial mucus of the lungs to deliver treatment. ...
-
(1998)Nuclear import of proteins is a carefully controlled process that is critical for cellular function and regulation. A protein is marked for nuclear entry by a nuclear localization signal (NLS), a peptide motif, which ...
-
(1979)The bile salts, which are naturally occurring steroidal surfactants, aid in the digestion, emulsification, and absorption of dietary lipids and the transport of drugs across the intestinal wall. Drug-bile salt interactions ...
-
(1987)Protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis, involving 𝛼-chymotrypsin as catalyst and unusual amino acids as acyl acceptors, has been studied. The irreversibility of peptide bonds formed by this method has been explained by ...
-
(1998)Although peroxisomes are essential organelles involved in the conversion of hydrogen peroxide to water, they also contain unique metabolic pathways in lipid metabolism. One of these is the "-oxidation of branched-chain ...
-
(1978)Adenosinetriphosphate (ATP), bis-p-nitrophenyl phenylphoshonate (bis-PNPP) and tris-p-nitro-phenylphosphate were studied in bile salt systems. ATP showed essentially no solvolysis in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or water ...
-
(1995)The simplest description of propagators is this: propagators are tools for solving differential equations. Solutions to the differential equations we will be discussing are functions. If one knows a solution at a particular ...
-
(1991)The general field of pattern recognition is discussed with emphasis on the development of AMOEBA, a two dimensional digital clustering program, into a three dimensional program. Moreover, a program analyzing phenyl rings ...
-
(1976)The preparation of thin uniform films of biomolecules has been a frequently encountered problem in chemical analysis techniques such as charged particle activation analysis, photoelectron spectroscopy, and with the recently ...
-
(1977)Complementary infrared and x-ray photoelectron spectra have been interpreted in a detailed study of surface equilibria involving SO₂, NO₂, N₂O₄, and H₂O adsorbed on amophous silica and silica alumina. Heterogeneous oxidation ...
-
(1997)Dr. Jeff Kelly's laboratory has been using 4-(2-aminoethyl)-6-dibenzofuran propoinic acid an unnatural amino acid to initiate 𝛽 sheet folding. The unnatural amino acid mimics a 𝛽 tum in an antiparallel 𝛽 sheet structure. ...
-
(1981)The synthesis of the dihydro- and 7-Halodihydroanalogs of the antibiotic, antimetabolite Furanomycin was investigated. Stereochemistry of the resulting compounds was compared to Furanomycin. Initial biological testing of ...
-
(2011-08-08)Novel synthetic strategies towards the formation of tetrahydrofurans and their subsequent application to bioactive natural products have been explored. More specifically, a method for invoking double-diastereoselectivity ...
-
(1990)A 4π neutron detector which has a relatively high efficiency for detecting neutrons emitted in nuclear reactions has been constructed. This new 4π neutron detector has been designed to be much more flexible than the ...
-
(1978)The equilibria involving gaseous species above the condensed Cu-Sn system have been experimentally investigated at elevated temperatures by the high temperature mass spectrometric technique. The molecules Cu₂, CuSn, Sn₂, ...
-
(1978)The cyclic imino thioether Δ²-thiazoline has been synthesized and characterized. The vibrational structure of the molecule has been studied in several phases by infrared and laser Raman spectroscopy. The spectra have been ...
