  • Chemical labeling methods and mass spectrometry of mitochondrial thiol proteomes

    Creator:
    Wang, Jing
    Abstract:
    Dysfunction of mitochondria has been linked to aging and the pathogenesis of many degenerative diseases. Aside from their primary function in energy production, mitochondria are considered as a major source and target of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in cells as well. The mitochondrial thiol proteome is a subset...

  • Precursor Chemistry and Film Structure and Properties via Solution Deposition

    Creator:
    Huang, Yu
    Abstract:
    Chemistry of preparing dense film from solution deposition is explored with several cases in this thesis. Surface dense structure, conversion at melting point, and ion exchange in aqueous solution are the main topics covered here for the thin films of aluminum oxide phosphate and tin dioxide. Thin film density, optical...

  • Carbon Nanodots as Biolabels for Fluorescence Immunoassays

    Creator:
    Wu, Yuanyuan
    Abstract:
    There has been a tremendous growth in interest in carbon nanodots (C-dots) in the past several years. As a nascent nanomaterial, C-dots have shown great promise in applications that benefit from their superior water dispersibility, low toxicity, non-blinking fluorescent output, chemical and biological compatibility, ease of functionalization and resistance to...

  • Functionalization of carbon nanotubes for effective biosensing and potential biomedical applications

    Creator:
    Adenuga, Adeniyi A.
    Abstract:
    Since their discovery in the 1990s, the great potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has made them a focus of many research endeavors, including their application as components of biosensors. The inherent chemical "inertness" of CNTs makes their application to biosensing a challenge. It is necessary to "decorate" their surfaces to...

  • Gold Nanostars: Spectroscopic and Physical Properties

    Creator:
    Zhou, Lixia
    Abstract:
    Tethering fluorophores on metal nanoparticles for metal enhanced fluorescence (MEF) has attracted a lot of attention from scientists interested in fluorescence based approaches. MEF has many benefits in fluorescence related techniques, because the analytical signal increases and enables potentially lower detection limits or better sensitivity. Many types of nanoparticles have...

  • Displacement-based fluorescent microRNA biosensors : design principles and analytical metrics

    Creator:
    Larkey, Nicholas E.
    Abstract:
    One post-transcriptional mechanism that regulates the progression of cancer and other diseases involves small 22-23 nucleotide sequences called microRNA (miR). Early detection of small changes in concentration of these biomarkers holds potential to diagnose diseases at their earliest stages. Use of current nucleic-acid based biosensors, like molecular beacons, for in...

  • Storage Battery Chemistries with Earth Abundant Charge Carriers

    Creator:
    Hong, Jessica Junghwa
    Abstract:
    The demand for the development of sustainable energy is an all time high as we burn through limited fossil fuel reserves and as environmental concerns rise every year. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power have limitations due to inconsistent power supply that cannot meet the regular needs...

  • Application of Density Functional Theory to Exploration of Reactions

    Creator:
    Feoktistova, Taisiia
    Abstract:
    My work has focused on using density functional theory to elucidate mechanisms of organocatalytic and transition metal catalyzed reactions by considering competing mechanisms. In each of the three presented studies computational investigation complemented experimental work by predicting stereoselectivity or revealing origins of stereo, regio, or chemoselectivity. A study on the...

  • The effect of alkaline pH on the succinate oxidase system of sub-mitochondrial particles from beef heart muscle

    Creator:
    Wilson, David Franklin
    Abstract:
    The spectrophotometric method for the determination of the acid nonextractable flavin in the proteolytic digest of the trichloroacetic acid precipitate from the heart muscle preparation has been examined for the interference of the degraded hemeproteins. The proteolytic digest was chromatographically separated into the heme and flavin fractions. Spectrophotometric determinations made...
