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 ...
Acyl Imidazole : A Promising Template for Asymmetric Lewis and Brønsted Acid Mediated 1,3-Dipolar Cycloadditions
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Construction of chiral complex molecules continues to be a challenge for organic chemists all over the world and to address this challenge numerous methodologies have been developed. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reactions is ...
Biochemical and Epidemiological Analysis of Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis and Investigation of its Relationship to Crohn's Disease in Humans
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Background: Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine in humans, with no known cause. Johne's disease is a chronic intestinal disease of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium suhspecies ...
