Some potential mechanisms for finely-tuned regulation of phospholipase C-β isozymes : studies of dimerization and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate activation

Creator:: Zhang, Yong
Abstract:: Phospholipase C-β (PLC-β) isozymes are key effectors in G protein-coupled signaling pathways. Prior research suggested that some isoforms of PLC-β may exist and function as dimers, but little is known about dimerization of PLC-β. Data from coimmunoprecipitation assays of differentially-tagged PLC-β constructs and sizeexclusion chromatography of native PLC-β support homodimerization...

Fabrication and application of polymer based microfluidic devices

Creator:: Koesdjojo, Myra T.
Abstract:: The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths,...

Determination of ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate as human biomarkers of alcohol exposure in urine by liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry with large volume injection

Creator:: Hu, Yan
Abstract:: This research was undertaken to develop a sensitive, selective, and rapid analytical method to measure ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS) in urine as urinary biomarkers of alcohol exposure. Large-volume injection (LVI) coupled with liquid chromatography / electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was used to eliminate the need for either...

Suppression of Met signaling by the green tea polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)

Creator:: Larsen, Christine A.
Abstract:: Met is a prognostic indicator of colorectal cancer patient survival. Therapies that target Met may therefore have beneficial outcomes in the clinic. Recently, EGCG was reported to suppress Met activation, although the mechanisms were not elucidated. HCT116 and HT29 human colon cancer cells were used to examine the relationships between...

Biophysical analyses of peroxiredoxins and a partner reductase

Creator:: Hall, Andrea Renée
Abstract:: Peroxiredoxins (Prxs) are dominant peroxide-reducing enzymes with two important roles: they protect all organisms from oxidative damage induced by peroxides, and in eukaryotes, they participate in hydrogen peroxide signaling pathways. This dissertation presents studies aimed at the biophysical characterization of select Prxs and a Prx reductase to elucidate their structure-function...

Bacterial hydrophobicity : assessment techniques, applications and extension to colloids

Creator:: Saini, Gaurav
Abstract:: This research details laboratory assessment of bacterial hydrophobicity, variations in bacterial adhesion properties with growth and extended starvation as well as extension of this assay to colloidal hydrophobicity measurement. Hydrophobicity is an integral component of surface interactions and has been studied extensively for its role in a number of engineering...

Development of materials and devices for separation of polyamido[a]mine dendrimers

Creator:: Tennico, Yolanda H.
Abstract:: Over the last decade, the use of highly branched macromolecules, called dendrimers, is emerging. Polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers, in particular, have attracted high interest due to their unique properties, such as well-defined size, shape, and solubility in water. Our group, as part of an interdisciplinary team, is currently working on developing...

Natural products studies of the marine cyanobacteria Lyngbya semiplena and Lyngbya majuscula

Creator:: Han, Bingnan
Abstract:: This thesis details my investigations of marine cyanobacterial natural products that resulted in the discovery of eighteen new secondary metabolites. Isolation and characterization of these unique molecules were carried out using different chromatographic techniques and by careful analyses of 1D and 2D NMR data, respectively. Preliminary bioassays of the crude...

Monolithic sorbents for microscale separations

Creator:: Doneanu, Angela
Abstract:: Over the last decade, the miniaturization of analytical systems has become an increasingly important and interesting research area. Miniaturized systems offer many advantages, including reduced reagent and sample consumption, shorter analysis times, portability and disposability. This dissertation describes novel approaches in this direction, focusing on two areas: the miniaturization of...

Analytical method development for the identification, detection, and quantification of emerging environmental contaminants in complex matrices

Creator:: Place, Benjamin J.
Abstract:: The development of analytical methods for emerging contaminants creates many unique challenges for analytical chemists. By their nature, emerging contaminants have inherent data gaps related to their environmental occurrence, fate, and impact. This dissertation is a compilation of three studies related to method development for the structural identification of emerging...
