Characterization and Activation of Bioinspired Peroxomanganese(III) Complexes
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Many biochemical reactions critical for life require catalysis by manganese-containing enzymes that react with dioxygen or its reduced forms to generate manganese-oxo, peroxo, or hydroxo intermediates. These reactions are ... -
Polyoxyethylene tallow amine: Environmental fate of an "inert" ingredient
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)The surfactant polyoxyethylene tallow amine (POEA) is a common inert ingredient in formulations of glyphosate—the most widely applied agricultural herbicide in the world, which is also commonly used in urban settings. ... -
Glycoprotein and glycopeptide analysis by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)Carbohydrates on proteins play essential roles in mediating various biological activities, such as cell adhesion, cell signaling, and antigen-antibody recognition. Altered glycosylation profiles on proteins have been found ... -
Formation, Characterization, and Oxidative Reactivity of Bio-inspired Peroxo- and Hydroxo-manganese(III) Complexes
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)Manganese-dependent enzymes that react with dioxygen and its reduced derivatives are ubiquitous in nature, catalyzing pivotal processes such as the light-driven oxidation of water to dioxygen, generation of peroxidized ... -
Phosphate Tether-Mediated Metathesis Studies and Application Towards Natural Product Synthesis
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)Over the past decade, work in our lab has focused on phosphate tether-mediated desymmetrization of C2-symmetric 1,3-anti-dienediol via ring-closing metathesis (RCM) to afford P-stereogenic bicyclo[4.3.1]phosphates. However, ... -
Modular Approaches to Skeletally Diverse and Stereochemically-rich 7- to 11-membered Ring Sultams

Neurochemical Measurements in Animal Models of Neurodegeneration and Neurotoxicity
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)This dissertation is a compilation of work in which selected analytical methods, including fast-scan cyclic voltammetry at carbon-fiber microelectrodes (FSCV), were used to determine neurotransmitter release and uptake ... -
Synthesis of Novel Sultam Scaffolds: Method and Library Development
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)The development of methods to produce diverse set of small molecules to be utilized as chemical probes in chemical biology is a continuing emerging area critical in the pursuit of broadening the understanding of biological ... -
Disulfide Analysis with Mass Spectrometry: Toward Biotherapeutic Characterization
(University of Kansas, 2015-08-31)Proteins continue to increase in use as biotherapeutic agents but need to be analyzed to verify efficacy and safety. For instance, disulfide bonds are a protein posttranslational modification (PTM) that are critically ... -
The Role of Iron Storage Proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Bacterial Iron Homeostasis
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacterium that causes infections in immune compromised patients. There have been an increasing number of multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa infections which is leading to the need ... -
