Spring 2012
Germanium nanomaterials have many potential applications based on their size-tunable optical and electronic properties, for example in photodetectors, photovoltaics and non-volatile memory. In this work, the synthesis of Ge nanoparticles by two different methods based on tailorability through the...

Synthesis and degradation of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) under different nutrient combinations in the alphaproteobacterial methanotroph, Methylocystis sp. Rockwell
DownloadFall 2023
Methane emissions and plastic pollution are two distinct environmental issues that arise from human activities. The ongoing increases in methane emissions and its atmospheric concentration pose a major environmental threat as methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with a warming effect 28 times...

Synthesis of fragments of a polysaccharide from Nocardia nova for structural and biological studies
DownloadSpring 2020
Nocardia are gram-positive bacteria. Nocardia nova is one of the Nocardia species and can cause serious disease, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Rapid diagnosis of N. nova can be lifesaving. The cell wall of N. nova contains an unusual glucose-modified arabinogalactan polysaccharide...

Synthetic Main Group and Transition Metal Targets for Electronic and Photovoltaic Applications
DownloadFall 2012
The work presented herein is focused on the synthesis and characterization of inorganic materials for potential use in electronic and photovoltaic applications. Platinum containing complexes of the form LxPt(SC4H2Br)2 (x = 1, L = dppe, dppp; x = 2, L = PBu3, PAr3), were synthesized using...

The Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Multivalent Heterobifunctional Ligands Specific for Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2
DownloadSpring 2014
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a potential life-threatening condition caused by infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7. There are two major types of Shiga toxins, namely, Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), of which, Stx2 is clinically most closely associated...

Spring 2022
Iron-sulfur clusters are recognized widely as ancient cofactors that are proposed to have impacted the prebiotic chemistry that led to life. Previous work done by our lab has shown that iron-sulfur clusters could be synthesized prebiotically on cysteine containing tripeptides, but it remains...

Fall 2014
Developing a simple, general, and isothermal self-replicating system is one of the key requirements for a simplified detection platform for nucleic acid sequences specific to a disease causing microrganism. One of the challenges in achieving nucleic-acid templated isothermal amplification is that...
