Probing Structure, Selectivity, and Orientation of Biomolecules to Cell Membranes by Sum Frequency Generation

Creator:

Golbek, Thaddeus W.

Abstract:

Cell membranes act as barriers against unwanted movement of ions and biomolecules and are complex surfaces littered with protein channels, ion channels, cholesterol, and a myriad of different proteins. While this surface is extremely well studied, there is still much we do not know. The work in this dissertation demonstrates...

Towards a Selectively Bioactive Surface for the Removal of Circulating Endotoxin in Blood

Creator:

Raman, Ramya

Abstract:

Sepsis is an inflammatory reaction occurring throughout the human body to infections caused by bacteria, fungi, and or other forms of pathogens. It is essential to find an alternative treatment method for sepsis, to lessen the dependence on antibiotics. Hemoperfusion is an absorbent device that removes select targets from blood,...

Multi-Technique Characterizations of Natural and Biomimetic Adhesives

Creator:

Fowler, James E.

Abstract:

There have been many attempts to characterize and mimic natural fluid-based adhesive systems. However, very few of these studies have examined surface or interfacial interactions between adhesive and substrate. Furthermore, until now no study has used a combination of surface analytical and kinematic techniques to determine the precise chemical mechanisms...
