In-line Ozonolysis coupled to Mass Spectrometry- A New Dimension of Structural Determination for Lipids
DownloadFall 2014
The location of double bonds within unsaturated lipids can greatly affect their biological functions. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS) has become a powerful tool for lipid separation and structural elucidation. However, the determination of double bond position remains...

Interfacing Silicon-Based Quantum Dots with Proteins for Biological and Sensing Applications
DownloadFall 2020
This dissertation presents the preparation of functional bioinorganic hybrids from silicon-based quantum dots (SiQDs) and enzymes and the use of SiQDs and green fluorescent protein as ratiometric photoluminescent sensors for nerve agents. Chapter 2 discusses the preparation of water-soluble...

Investigating Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions with Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS)
DownloadFall 2014
The application of hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to investigating protein-carbohydrate interactions is described. Proteins from three bacterial toxins, the B subunit homopentamers of Cholera toxin (CTB5) and Shiga toxin type 1 (Stx1B5) and a fragment of Clostridium...

Isotope Labeling Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry: Metabolite Identification and Human Salivary Metabolome Profiling
DownloadFall 2012
The objective of this work was to use paired labeling reagents that are chemically identical but isotopically different to provide a simple and robust way of mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolome profiling. A differential 13C-/12C-isotope dansyl chloride (DnsCl) derivatization strategy has been...

Wishart, D.S., Psychogios, N., Young, N., Xia, J.
Metabolomics is a newly emerging field of ‘omics’ research that is concerned with characterizing large numbers of metabolites using NMR, chromatography and mass spectrometry. It is frequently used in biomarker identification and the metabolic profiling of cells, tissues or organisms. The data...
