Effect of Surface Ligands and Surface Defects on the Electronic and Optical Properties of Quantum Dots
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Quantum dots (QDs) have drawn a special attention since recent past due to their properties such as broad range absorption ability, size tunable narrow emission, high extinction coefficients, and charge carriers ability. ... -
Visible Light Photocatalysis of N-N Bond Based Compounds
(North Dakota State University, 2016)The well-established principles of organic photochemistry, offer chemists the fundamental understanding and tools for studying light induced chemical transformations. Employing visible light for photocatalysis, one can ... -
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 ... -
Photons in Action: Asymmetric Synthesis and Polymer Degradation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Video summarizing Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience. -
Atropisomeric Chromophores as Catalysts and Substrates for Asymmetric Light Induced Transformations
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Photochemical transformations hold a unique place as they can provide access to molecules with unique stereochemical and structurally complex scaffolds, thus serving as a complementary approach to thermal transformations. ... -
Novel Asymmetric Approaches for Construction of Small Molecules by Cyclization and Cycloaddition
(North Dakota State University, 2015)Development of novel asymmetric and catalytic methods for synthesizing small organic molecules containing hindered quaternary and tertiary centers is a major challenge and a dynamic area of investigation in synthetic organic ... -
4-Dimethylamino Pyridine (DMAP) Catalyst with Fluxional Chirality: Synthesis and Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2016)Organocatalysis using small organic molecules to catalyze organic transformations, has emerged as a powerful synthetic tool that is complementary to metal-catalyzed transformations and remarkably promote stereoselective ... -
Delineating Signaling Mechanisms Involved in Lymphocyte Chemotaxis, Immune Homeostasis and Allergic Asthma
(North Dakota State University, 2015)The vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) signaling axis constitutes VIP and its two G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) termed vasoactive intestinal/pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (VPAC) 1 and 2. This ... -
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 ... -
Stereospecitic Phototransformations of Axially Chiral Chromaphores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)Video summarizing Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
