Computational tools for the high-throughput identification of protein-targeted drugs and probes
(2015-08-04)This thesis is comprised of three projects that are driven by a common theme, which is the use of computational tools in aiding molecular probe and drug design. In the first project, the feasibility of using molecular ... -
Design and evaluation of novel fluorescent molecular probes targeting cathepsin B
(2020)Lysosomal cysteine proteinase cathepsin B (CTB) is a member of the cysteine protease family known to participate in intracellular degradation processes and protein turnover in the lysosomes of healthy cells. Cathepsin B ... -
Functional Imaging of the Lungs using Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Inert Fluorinated Gases
(2016)Fluorine-19 (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lungs using inhaled inert fluorinated gases can potentially provide high quality anatomical and functional images of the lungs. This technique is able to visualize ...
