Recent breakthroughs using novel chemistry and nanotechnology methodologies for cellular biology applications have spurred tremendous interest in the development of new technologies to manipulate cell-lines or cellular ...

Within a host, pathogenic bacteria employ several mechanisms that enhance their survival and motility. These mechanisms include their ability to adhere, replicate (in order to avoid eradication), and secretion of virulent ...

Multi-dimensional HPLC techniques enable researchers to monitor multiple essential and sometimes, critical quality attributes (CQAs) in parallel. A unique three-column, four-dimension liquid chromatography system employing ...

Tissue engineering is a growing field of science that relies on the use of material chemistry, engineering, genetics, and cell biology to produce functional tissues for use in transplantation, drug testing and disease ...

This thesis presents the work to study and expand the coordination chemistry of bis(amido)pyridine to ruthenium and cobalt. Chapter 1 presents the properties, the coordination chemistry and the synthesis of the bis(amido)pyridine ...

The first part of this research focuses on developing efficient methods to address challenging Buchwald Hartwig amination reactions using Pd-NHC pre-catalysts. Specifically, we focused on: a) coupling of sterically hindered ...

In this thesis, we examined the CID spectra of the closed-shell [A4W-Me oxa + H]+ ions, which are completely identical, and indicates sequence scrambling. There are some unique fragmentation patterns from this set of ions ...

We have developed a two-step synthesis of meta-substituted phenols in one pot, in good to excellent yield. A Pd2+ source is the catalyst for both steps of the synthesis, which includes a cross-coupling reaction between ...

The ability to tailor cell surfaces with non-native molecules is critical to advance the study of cellular communication, cell behavior, and for next-generation therapeutics. There has been tremendous effort to tailor ...

A synthesis of cyclobutane nucleosides is described. The method involved the triflation of a -hydroxymethyl-cyclobutanone and its subsequent displacement by a 6-chloropurinyl anion to generate N-7 and N-9 regioisomers. ...
