CHARACTERIZATION OF NON-CODING RNAS VIA NMR SPECTROSCOPY: ANALYSIS OF STRUCTURE, THERMAL STABILITY, AND DYNAMICS
(2019)Non-coding RNAs are involved in various cellular processes and characterization of these RNAs may provide better insights into their functional roles. NMR spectroscopy is a powerful biophysical tool that can provide ... -
PROTEIN FOLD SWITCHING: INVESTIGATING THE MECHANISM OF αβ-PLAIT TO 3α FOLD INTERCONVERSION
(2019)Naturally occurring metamorphic proteins have the ability to interconvert from one folded state to another through either a limited set of mutations or by way of a change in the local environment. However, the design of ... -
POLYMER ASSISTED ASSEMBLY OF INORGANIC MATERIALS FOR NEXT GENERATION BATTERIES
(2019)Nanoscale materials have desirable electronic features (e.g. high surface areas, reduced mass and transport paths) that can be harnessed for a variety of technological applications. In most storage devices, there is a ... -
ISOTHERMAL DNA DETECTION UTILIZING BICYCLIC AMPLIFICATION OF PADLOCK PROBES
(2019)As healthcare worldwide changes to more patient-centric models, medical diagnostics need to adapt to being used in settings outside of the central lab. Current strategies to bring diagnostics to the patient’s bedside involve ... -
OXYGEN STORAGE PROPERTIES OF TERNARY METAL OXIDE SYSTEMS FOR CHEMICAL LOOPING REACTIONS
(2019)We have studied the reversible uptake and release of oxygen in the layered metal oxide system AB2O4 to understand their suitability as oxygen storage materials. We examined their structures at their most reduced, oxidized, ...
