Studies of the relationship of protein structure to regulation and catalysis in tyrosine hydroxylase
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TyrH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Phosphorylation of Ser40 of rat TyrH activates the enzyme by ...
Theoretical studies of transition metal surfaces as electrocatalysts for oxygen electroreduction
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
In the last few years the quest towards a hydrogen based economy has intensified
interest for effective and less expensive catalysts for fuel cell applications. Due to its
slow kinetics, alternative catalysts for the oxygen ...
Supramolecules with dimolybdenum or chiral dirhodium units
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation concerns the syntheses and characterization of supramolecules with quadruply bonded Mo2 4+ units, Mo2(DAniF)3
+ (DAniF = N,N'-di-p-anisylformamidinate) or cis-
Mo2(DAniF)2 2+, and chiral organometallic ...
