Preparation of Optically Enriched Allylic Heterocyclic Organoboronates and Their Application in the Efficient Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds
DownloadFall 2014
Organic chemistry is, has been, and will remain, a reliable tool for creating nearly any target molecule. Modern organic synthesis, however, is leaning towards the themes of efficiency, selectivity and strategy. In the midst of a potential energy crisis and global resource shortage, the primary...

Profiling Alkyl Phosphates in Petroleum Samples by Comprehensive Two-dimensional Gas Chromatography with Nitrogen-phosphorus Detection (GC×GC-NPD)
DownloadFall 2014
The profiling of alkyl phosphates in petroleum samples is of particular interest to refineries that process conventional crude oil derived from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and other similar geologies. This is due to alkyl phosphate-based additives used during crude oil recovery...

Solid-State Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Computational Investigation of Half-integer Quadrupolar Nuclei
DownloadSpring 2014
This thesis is concerned with applications of modern solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Investigations of three quadrupolar nuclei (51V, 17O, and 23Na) are undertaken to demonstrate the practicality of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, SSNMR in studies of compounds containing these nuclei. The...

Fall 2014
DNA strand displacement reaction (SDR) is a fast, isothermal, and sequence specific reaction. In SDR, an invading DNA single strand, also known as the “fuel” strand, unzips a partial duplex to form a more thermodynamically stable duplex. The complementary strand to the fuel strand is referred to...

Paenibacillus polymyxa NRRL B-30509, Paenibacillus terrae NRRL B-30644 and P. polymyxa NRRL B-30507 were found to produce several bacteriocins and non-ribosomal peptides. All three strains produce tridecaptins, non-ribosomal lipopeptides antimicrobially active against food pathogen Campylobacter...

Structure-based design of inhibitors for the human neuraminidase enzymes NEU2, NEU3, and NEU4
DownloadSpring 2014
Sialidases (neuraminidases) are a group of enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of sialic acid from glycoconjugates. In humans, there are four different isoenzymes that play important roles in health and disease. The human neuraminidase enzymes (hNEU) were discovered somewhat recently, and...

My PhD thesis work is centered on developing a suitable approach to account for solvent effects in solution spectroscopic measurements and on providing significant insights into the intermolecular interactions between chiral solute and solvent, in particular water, molecules. Vibrational...
