Synthesis, Photophysics, Nonlinear Absorption, and Photodynamic Therapy Study of Iridium(III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Stereospecitic Phototransformations of Axially Chiral Chromaphores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Video summarizing Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Synthesis, Photophysics, and Nonlinear Absorption of Platinum (II) and Iridium (III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Square planar d8 platinum(II) complexes and octahedral d6 iridium(III) complexes were synthesized. Their photophysics were studied in detail. Structure-property relationship was studied by varying the substitution on the ...
Ligand Binding and Catalysis in Selected Sirtuin Isozymes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Due to their intimate roles in survival, longevity as well as pathogenesis via “epigenetic” and “metabolic” regulatory mechanisms, sirtuins have gained considerable interest toward undertaking detailed biochemical/biophysical ...
Synthesis and Characterization of 2,3-Difunctionalized Thieno[3,4-b]Pyrazine-Based Terthienyls Structure-Function Relationships and Side Chain Tunability
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The ability to tune the physical, electronic, and optical properties of polymer precursors has garnered a great deal of interest in the conjugated organic materials field. The Rasmussen group has previously demonstrated ...
Lateral Flow Nucleic Acid Biosensor for the Detection of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Nucleic acid detection is of central importance for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, infectious agents, bio-warfare agents, and drug discovery. Nucleic acid testing for diseases is exclusively performed in ...
Enhanced Sensitivity of Lateral Flow Strip Biosensors Based on Enyzmatic Reaction and Nanomaterials
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Ultrasensitive detection for trace amount of proteins plays pivotal role in the diagnosis of specific diseases in clinical application, basic discovery research and the improvement of proteomics. Recently, lateral flow ...
Synthesis and Photophysics of Platinum(II) Terdentate and Bidentate Complexes.
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Platinum(ll) terdentate and bidentate complexes possess square-planar d8 configuration.
The moderate metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (1MLCT) absorption, 3MLCT emission, and
broadband excited-state absorption are the ...
Interactions of Synthetic Metal Porphyrinates with PhuS, a Cytoplasmic Heme Trafficking Protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic, Gram negative, bacterial pathogen
that commonly establishes infection in immunocompromised individuals. It contains
protein-based, iron uptake pathways that target both heme ...
Differential Modulation of the Structural and Functional Characteristics of Human Matrix Metalloproteinase Isozymes upon Binding to Different Ligands
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of Zn2
+ -dependent, Ca2
+ -containing
endoproteinases involved in tissue remodeling and degradation of the extracellular matrix
(ECM). Human MMP isozymes are known to be ...
