Studies towards total synthesis of MPC1001F - a triketopiperazine- dihydrooxepin natural product
DownloadSpring 2013
The thesis describes synthetic studies towards MPC1001F, a triketopiperazine-dihydrooxepin natural product. Another related member of this class of natural products is MPC1001 with an epidithiodioxopiperazine core and potent antitumor activity. Our goal was to construct the molecular skeleton of...

Studies Towards Understanding the Biosynthesis of Methyl Phosphoramidates found in Campylobacter jejuni
DownloadFall 2016
The human pathogen Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of food-borne gastroenteritis, causing more foodborne illnesses than Salmonella, Shigella, and Listeria combined. Of the approximate 5.3 million people infected every year in North America alone, approximately 1/1000 will develop the...

Studies Undertaken Towards the Total Synthesis of Antifreeze Compounds Based on the Xylomannan Antifreeze from the Alaskan Beetle Upis ceramboides
DownloadFall 2019
Biological antifreeze substances are widely found in the tissues of cold-blooded organisms indigenous to polar environments. Prior to 2009, all these compounds were associated with protein, leading to the widespread assumption that all biological antifreeze substances must possess a protein or...

Study of Non-Covalent Multisubunit Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2013
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) based techniques to investigate protein-carbohydrate interactions in vitro. A catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CaR-ESI-MS) assay was developed for the...

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions by Nanoelectrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Surface Plasmon Resonance
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis describes the application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) techniques to identify and quantify antibody-antigen interactions in vitro. Also potential application of nanodiscs (ND) as membrane model in ESI-MS and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has...
