Computational Approaches Enabling Disparately Acquired Untargeted LC-MS Metabolomics Data Analysis
(2022)
Metabolomics is the systematic study of small molecule metabolites that are substrates, intermediates, and products of cellular metabolism. Metabolomics assays performed using liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS) ...
Computational Methods for Characterizing Post-translational and Chemical Modifications Found in Open Searches
(2022)
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) govern many processes within cells and understanding their function is critical to both the basic and biomedical sciences. However, identifying modified peptides, particularly ...
Biological Applications of Surfaces with Extreme Wettabilities
(2019)
Surfaces with extreme wettabilities have become an increasingly popular topic due to their wide range of applications – from simply keeping dirt off clothing to oil-water separation in the event of an oil spill. In particular, ...
Microfluidic Technologies for Bioanalytical Chemistry: Advancing Epigenetic Profiling via Chromatin Immunoprecipitation in Droplets
(2019)
Beyond the linear sequence of the genome, the epigenome dynamically controls chromatin remodeling and transcriptional poise without inducing changes in DNA sequence. These epigenetic mechanisms, particularly modifications ...
Directed Evolution of Stabilized Peptides with Bacterial Display
(2020)
Interactions between proteins govern cellular and the body’s states, including aberrant interactions found in diseases such as in cancers and infections. Small molecule drugs are not ideal in targeting these interactions ...
Understanding the Solution Phase Chemistry and Solid State Thermodynamic Behavior of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals.
(2012)
This dissertation focuses on the thermodynamic stability and solubility of pharmaceutical cocrystals. Specifically, the objectives are to; (i) investigate the influence of coformer properties such as solubility and ionization ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Phase and Structural Transitions in Model Lung Surfactant Mixtures.
(2010)
Lung surfactant (LS) is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins that reduces and regulates the surface tension in the lungs, thereby decreasing the work of breathing. A thorough understanding of LS function is critical ...
SMARTS Approach to Chemical Data Mining and Physicochemical Property Prediction.
(2009)
The calculation of physicochemical and biological properties is essential in order to facilitate modern drug discovery. Chemical spaces dimensionalized by these descriptors have been used to scaffold-hop in order to discover ...
Transparent and Self-Healing Elastomers for Reconfigurable 3D Materials
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-12)
Transparent soft materials are widely used in applications ranging from packaging to flexible displays, wearable devices, and optical lenses. Nevertheless, soft materials are susceptible to mechanical damage, leading to ...
