Creator:: Landry, Zachary
Abstract:: Historically, the difficulty of obtaining pure cultures of abundant marine microbial plankton has an obstacle to reconstructing the underlying mechanisms of biogeochemistry in the ocean. While a number of dominant marine species from the ocean surface have been cultured, the dominant microbial plankton of the dark ocean proved far more...

Creator:: Brumsted, Corey J.
Abstract:: Pactamycin, first reported in 1962, is a potent antitumor antibiotic produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces pactum. Structurally, it contains a cyclopentitol core unit, a 3-aminoacetophenone (3AAP), a 6-methylsalicylic acid (6-MSA), and a N,N-dimethyl urea. The aminocyclopentitol ring is derived from glucose, possibly via N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc), the 3-aminoacetophenone (3AAP)...

Creator:: Trautman, Ian A.
Abstract:: Secondary metabolites (SMs) play an integral role in the life history of most fungal species. Fungal metabolomic studies provide insights into how fungi perform certain ecological functions, how they compete and interact with other organisms, and the breadth of fungal chemodiversity. Fungal SMs have also been utilized for a variety...

Creator:: Overacker, Ross D.
Abstract:: Small molecule drugs have been instrumental in our fight against diseases, beginning when some of the earliest ancient cultures used plant remedies to treat illnesses. More recently, the skill of isolating and characterizing the active ingredients within bioactive plants and microbial extracts has led to the isolation and design of...

Creator:: McIntosh, Melissa Luana
Abstract:: Nitroaromatic compounds have important chemical applications and can be found in nature as pollution sources. Synthetic nitroaromatic compounds have been used in a variety of materials including explosives, pharmaceuticals, dyes, plastics, and pesticides. These compounds can find their way into the environment through normal or improper disposal methods. Poly-aromatic compounds...

Creator:: Points, Gary L., III
Abstract:: Aromatic heterocycles are core structural motifs in natural products, pharmaceuticals and biological polymers. Indoles, in particular, represent a significant subclass of aromatic heterocycles, both in terms of sheer numbers, but also in biological and pharmaceutical relevance. As such, new methodologies for the synthesis of indoles represent an important and continually...

Creator:: Huang, Lin
Abstract:: Oxidative stress is deﬁned as an imbalance that favors the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) over an organism's antioxidant defense. ROS have the ability to damage, either directly or indirectly, biomolecules including DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Various pathological conditions and environmental and chronic diseases have been associated with...

Creator:: Back, Daniel C.
Abstract:: Natural products have long been an important source of resources for humans. Many of these compounds possess unique chemical structures and potent biological properties. By targeting natural products with specific chemical properties, we can gain a better understanding of the roles these compounds play in the environment and their interactions...
