Synthesis and Applications of Dialdehydes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Due to their reactivity and ease of functional group interconversions, aldehydes have wide-ranging applications in polymer synthesis, such as polyacetals, epoxy resins, and polyurethanes. Recently, room temperature synthesis ...
Identification of Aptamer Specific for Carcinoembryonic Antigen and its Analytical Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is an approved cancer biomarker by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the early detection, diagnosis, and for the use in the regular screening of patients at high risk for the development ...

Exploitation of Biomass for Applications in Sustainable Materials Science
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Biorefinery may be defined as the process of accessing chemical commodities from living systems; consequently, biomass becomes the antecedent for renewable resources through biorefinery. Advantages to this process over ...
Apoptosis-Inducing Factor Mediates Metabolism and Oxidative Stress Signaling through Functionally Uncoupled Mechanisms to the Benefit of Tumorigenesis
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world, arising when cells accumulate genomic mutations that render them incapable of controlling their own proliferation and survival. While substantial improvements in ...
Understanding the Interaction Between Enzymes and Nanomaterials
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
The rapid development of nanoparticles (NPs) has impacted many fields including energy efficiency, material science, biosensing, and medical therapeutics. Recently, NPs have been utilized to immobilize enzymes. The so-formed ...
Mechanistic Studies on the Methionine Aminopeptidase and Peptide Deformylase Catalyzed Reactions
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
In the search for novel antibiotic and therapeutic targets, methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) and peptide deformylase (PDF) have recently been identified as eminently compelling. These enzymes are involved in the ...
Micro-/Nano- Materials Based Ultrasensitive Lateral Flow Nucleic Acid Biosensors
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Ultrasensitive detection of nucleic acids plays a very important role in the field of molecular diagnosis for the detection of various diseases. Lateral flow biosensors (LFB) are convenient, easy-to-use, patient friendly ...
Exciton Diffusion, Transport, and Localization in Conjugated Polymers
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Conjugated polymers are wide bandgap semiconductors which have a series of conjugated π-orbitals that extend along the polymer ‘backbone’. The π-orbital conjugation can be disrupted by twisting of the polymer, affecting ...
