NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE ROLES OF METALS IN NITRIC OXIDE DELIVERY
(Georgetown University, 2009)The biochemistry of organic nitroso compounds (E-NO, E = RS, RO, R2N, R) is connected to that of nitric oxide. These organic derivatives can serve either as sources of NO in vivo or produce similar effects as NO such as ... -
Biochemical and biophysical analysis of recombinant Plasmodium falciparum chloroquine resistance transporter (pfcrt)

REACTIVITY OF NITRIC OXIDE AND S-NITROSOTHIOLS WITH LOW-COORDINATE ZINC AND NICKEL CENTERS
(Georgetown University, 2009)Nitric oxide (NO) and biologically relevant sources of NO such as S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) have become a topic of great interest due to their regulation of biological functions including vasorelaxation, neurotransmission, ... -
Crystal growth of polymorphic bis-diphenyl ureas on self-assembled monolayer templates
(Georgetown University, 2009) -
Tuning the activity of platinum electrocatalysts via size, shape and capping polymer

ASYMMETRIC CATALYSIS AND SENSING WITH RIGID C2-SYMMETRIC LIGANDS AND DEVELOPMENT OF HEME-TARGETED ANTIMALARIALS
(Georgetown University, 2009)The first general procedure for the ligand-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of diethylzinc to trifluoromethyl ketones was developed. A range of 2-aryl-1,1,1-trifluorobutan-2-ols have been prepared in up to 99% yield using ... -
Electrochemical Studies and In Situ Electrochemical Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Investigations on Platinum-based Bimetallic Electrocatalysts for Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
(Georgetown University, 2009)Two parallel objectives of this thesis research are 1) to investigate the electrocatalytic activities of Pt-based bimetallic nanoparticles (NPs) towards methanol (MeOH) electro-oxidation reaction (MOR), carbon monoxide ... -
Exploiting Structural Disorder to Enhance Small Molecule Inhibition of the Oncoprotein c-Myc DImerization with its Partner Max
(Georgetown University, 2009)The transcription factor c-Myc, in its normal function, is involved in cell cycle regulation. The uncontrolled cell proliferation consequent to c-Myc deregulation is typical of cancer and neoplastic diseases. Most known ... -
Lewis acid assisted metal-ligand bifunctional hydrogenation of amides
(Georgetown University, 2009) -
SMALL MOLECULE BINDING OF INTRINSICALY DISORDERED PROTEINS: MULTIPLE BINDERS ON MULTIPLE SITES
(Georgetown University, 2009)Intrinsically disordered (ID) proteins lack a stable tertiary structure and exist in an ensemble of rapidly inter-converting conformations. They are prevalent in human and other genomes, and are biologically active in ... -
Interactions of quinolinols, peptides and SNAP-25 with the protease domain of botulinum neurotoxin A
(Georgetown University, 2010) -
INVESTIGATION OF FREQUENCY-INDEPENDENT IMPEDANCE BEHAVIOR IN CONDUCTING POLYMERS
(Georgetown University, 2010)Biocompatibility and low, frequency-independent impedance are critical in the design of electrodes for bioelectric signal sensing applications. These conditions could be regarded as the minimum requirements in order to ... -
