A path towards better cancer drugs: Modeling interactions between antimitotic agents and tubulin
DownloadFall 2015
Antimitotic agents, a class of cancer chemotherapies, target the tubulin protein in microtubules to suppress microtubule dynamics and affect the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. A variety of antimitotic agents are known, which range in status from clinically-approved agents to...

Fall 2011
The sequestering of alkali and alkaline earth cations by host structures (ethylenediamine tetraacetate, 18-crown-6, and hexaaza[18]annulene) was accomplished using density functional theory and either all electron or model core potential basis sets. The sequestering of alkali and alkaline earth...

Preparation of Polysubstituted Pyrans Toward the Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds
DownloadSpring 2016
Polyfunctionalized pyrans are among the most common structures in bioactive molecules. Based on the ubiquity of the pyran framework in natural and synthetic molecules, there is a need to develop more efficient methods of synthesizing and functionalizing the pyran motif. Due to recent interest in...
