Electrocoalescence of Water Droplets in Oil Emulsions: Effect of Electric Fields, Surfactants, and Chemical Demulsifiers
DownloadSpring 2019
Stabilization of water-in-oil droplets during bitumen extraction and refining process poses a major challenge in the oil sands industry. These crude oil emulsions are stabilized by rigid films at water droplet-oil interfaces. The salty water remaining in oil causes equipment corrosion, catalyst...

Bacterial stimulation of lipid vesicle production in green microalga Dunaliella tertiolecta
DownloadFall 2019
Algae and bacteria form complex interactions through the exchange of bioactive molecules and nutrients. A wide range of phenotypes, and often their very survival, are influenced by these chemically mediated relationships, shaping the ecology and diversity of marine communities. Here we sought to...

Klassen, John S., Han, Ling, Kitova, Elena N.
This study reports on the use of the catch-and-release electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (CaR-ESI-MS) assay, combined with glycomicelles, as a method for detecting specific interactions between water-soluble proteins and glycolipids (GLs) in aqueous solution. The B subunit homopentamers...

Development and Application of ESI-MS Based Techniques for Quantitative Determination of Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions
DownloadFall 2016
This thesis describes the development and application of mass spectrometry methods to study protein-ligand interactions in vitro. Liquid sample desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (liquid sample DESI-MS) was employed to quantify protein-carbohydrate interactions in aqueous buffer...

Separation and characterization of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and azaarenes using normal phase liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
DownloadFall 2016
Normal phase liquid chromatography (NPLC) is widely used for separating petroleum into compound classes, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polar nitrogen containing compounds. The charge-transfer and hypercrosslinked polystyrene NPLC phases provide unique selectivities for PAHs....

Quantitative Characterization of Noncovalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2015
The interactions between water-soluble proteins and carbohydrates found on the surfaces of cells play important roles in many physiological and pathological cellular processes. Carbohydrates function as receptors for signaling, cellular recognition and adhesion, and pathogen infections. This...
