Characterization of RPA2 N-terminal Function in the DNA Damage Response in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
In response to DNA damage, two general but fundamental processes occur in the
cell: (1) a DNA lesion is recognized and repaired, and (2) concomitantly, the cell halts
the cell cycle to provide a window of opportunity for ...
Synthesis of Precursors to Non-isocyanate Polyurethanes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Biobased diamines are excellent precursors for the synthesis of non-isocyanate polyurethanes (NIPUs). We have prepared several biobased diamines using three different reactions for their synthesis. In the first method, we ...
Functionalization of Heterocycles: A Metal Catalyzed Approach via Allylation and C-H Activation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The central core of many biologically active natural products and pharmaceuticals contain N-heterocycles, the installation of simple/complex functional groups using C-H/N-H functionalization methodologies has the potential ...
Synthesis and Design of Thiophene Materials: Effects of Ring Fusion and Metal Coordination
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Conjugated organic materials comprise a field of materials chemistry focused on the development of semiconducting organic plastics, popular applications of which are plastic solar cells and display technologies. One of the ...
Thiazole vs. Thiophene: Heterocycle Effects on the Properties of Fused-Ring Conjugated Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Conjugated polymers and related molecular materials comprise a field of materials chemistry focused on the development of semiconducting organic plastics that find use in applications such as organic solar cells and organic ...
Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Low and Reduced Band Gap Thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-based Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Conjugated polymers are a class of materials receiving significant interest due to their unique combination of optical and electronic properties found in inorganics with the flexibility and processability of traditional ...
The Development and Use of Chiral 4-Dimethylaminopyridine-N-Oxide as an Organocatalyst
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Organocatalysis is a field that has bloomed over the last decades. With the field’s promise of being able to mimic nature and afford products in a synergistic manner to traditional Lewis acid catalysis, several interesting ...
Applications of Dithieno [3,2-B2',3'-D] Pyrroles and its Analogues to Conjugated Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The promise of semiconducting materials with tunable electronic and optical properties
that share the same mechanical flexibility, low production costs and ease of processing displayed
by traditional polymers fuels the ...
The Optimization of Whole Genome Amplification and Molecular Crowding for Use in Forensic Low Copy Number Samples
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Whole genome amplification has been used as a powerful tool to increase the amount of DNA template used for microarrays, STR and SNP assays in clinical and forensic settings. Our laboratory observed that multiple displacement ...
Developing Platform Chemicals from Renewable Resources
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The Department of Energy has listed 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) as two of the twelve building blocks derived from cellulosic biomass. HMF can serve as a renewable platform for the ...
