The simultaneous quantification of all biological molecules, from metabolites to proteins, holds the key to discovering molecular signatures that can diagnose diseases before irreversible damages have occurred in the body. Recent advances in the field of liquid chromatography coupled mass...

Each individual chromatogram is typically very sparse, especially when coupled with a technique such as mass spectrometry. Only a small portion of the recorded data actually contains potentially useful information. Since the inclusion of irrelevant information will have detrimental effects upon...

Analytical and Toxicological Characterization of Novel Nitrogen Containing Disinfection Byproducts
DownloadFall 2012
Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are an unwanted consequence of water disinfection. Consumption of chlorinated drinking water has been associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer; however, the DBP or DBPs responsible has not been identified. The N-nitrosamines are a class of DBPs that are...

Application of Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry to Study Protein-Ligand Interactions and Enzyme Kinetics
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis describes the development and application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to study the noncovalent protein-ligand interactions and also investigate the kinetic of enzymatic reactions. The rate of glycolipids cleavage by the human neuraminidase 3 (hNEU3) was...

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...
