Characterization of glycosyltransferases and glycosidases using electrospray mass spectrometry
DownloadFall 2011
Carbohydrates are one of the major classes of organic compounds found in nature and living organisms, and the diverse roles of carbohydrates are crucial for most life forms. The transformation and degradation of glycans are effectively regulated by carbohydrate-modifying enzymes. This thesis...

One of the key obstacles to the effective use of mass spectrometry (MS) in high throughput metabolomics is the difficulty in interpreting measured spectra to accurately and efficiently identify metabolites. Traditional methods for automated metabolite identification compare the target MS spectrum...

Design of Macromolecular Anti-cancer Drug Delivery Systems using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadFall 2015
In recent years, the application of self-associating block copolymer based drug delivery systems has attracted increasing attention as nano-sized carriers for the encapsulation and the controlled delivery of water insoluble drugs. Most of the drug formulations are based on the “trial and error”...

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...
