The Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Multivalent Heterobifunctional Ligands Specific for Shiga Toxin 1 and Shiga Toxin 2
DownloadSpring 2014
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is a potential life-threatening condition caused by infection with Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H7. There are two major types of Shiga toxins, namely, Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), of which, Stx2 is clinically most closely associated...

Iron-sulfur clusters are recognized widely as ancient cofactors that are proposed to have impacted the prebiotic chemistry that led to life. Previous work done by our lab has shown that iron-sulfur clusters could be synthesized prebiotically on cysteine containing tripeptides, but it remains...

Developing a simple, general, and isothermal self-replicating system is one of the key requirements for a simplified detection platform for nucleic acid sequences specific to a disease causing microrganism. One of the challenges in achieving nucleic-acid templated isothermal amplification is that...

Tuning π-Conjugated Polymers with Heteroatoms: Synthesis of Polytellurophenes and Soluble Polyacetylenes
DownloadFall 2021
This Thesis describes the synthesis and investigation of π-conjugated oligomers and polymers with optoelectronic properties affected by the presence of a heteroatom. Two major classes of polymers are discussed: 1) polytellurophenes, where the backbone is formed by 5-membered heterocycles...
