Title: Chemical Tools for Biology
Author: Fessler, Adam
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: Reagents for biotinylation that are innately water-soluble and can be tracked by both UV-vis spectroscopy and fluorescence (330nm/420nm) have been developed. These reagents are based on the isatoic anhydride platform, which gives rise to their val...

Title: Cholera Toxin Subunit B-Mediated Intracellular Trafficking of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Toward the Endoplasmic Reticulum

Date Created: 2015
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Nanoscience, Biomedical engineering
Description: In recent decades, pharmaceutical research has led to the development of numerous treatments for human disease. Nanoscale delivery systems have the potential to maximize therapeutic outcomes by enabling target specific delivery of these therapeuti...

Title: Development of nanoparticle-based approaches for the treatment and imaging of pancreatic cancer
Author: Tarannum, Mubin
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Chemistry
Description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a type of exocrine pancreatic cancer which accounts for over 90% of cases. PDAC is the fourth-leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States with a 5-year survival rate of 9% with little t...

Title: Exceptional New Reagents for Bioconjugation
Author: Garmon, Corey
Date Created: 2016
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Biochemistry
Description: At about the turn of this century the term "click" chemistry came into the common vernacular amongst chemists. "Click" is used to describe reactions that are "spring-loaded" and proceed well in a predictable manner, with no offensive byproduct and...

Title: Green Synthesis of Cellulose Graft Copolymers for Anion Exchange Water Purification
Author: Schmal, Stephen
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of novel cellulose graft copolymers that are used for the purification of drinking water. These nanomaterials function as bottle-brush anion-exchange resins with repeating quaternary ammoniu...

Title: Influence of Functional Groups on the Photodynamic Therapy and Internalization of Porphyrin Modified Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) Molecules in Mammalian Cells
Author: Johnston, Alexis
Date Created: 2020
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Chemistry, Inorganic, Chemistry, Organic
Description: Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules are highly ordered organic- inorganic hybrid materials with a cage like core of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms surrounded by eight pedant organic residues. These compounds are well-define...

Title: Mass Spectrometric Protein Footprinting of Conformational Changes Induced by Chromatographic Surfaces
Author: Focke, Kimberly
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Analytical chemistry, Biochemistry
Description: Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) of intact proteins induces conformational changes due to the denaturing effects of both the hydrophobic stationary phase and the high-organic mobile phase, which can lead to poor recovery and badly disto...

Title: NUCLEIC ACID-DRIVEN QUANTUM DOT-BASED LATTICE FORMATIONS FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS
Author: Roark, Brandon
Date Created: 2017
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Nanotechnology, Biochemistry
Description: We present a versatile biosensing strategy that uses nucleic acids programmed to undergo an isothermal toehold mediated strand displacement in the presence of analyte. This rearrangement results in a double biotinylated duplex formation that induc...
