Synthesis of alginate neoglycolipids / by Rongsong Xu.
(2007)
Innate immunity, one of two arms of the immune system, can provide more rapid defense mechanisms than adaptive immunity in human immune defense systems. The innate immune system recognizes invading pathogens by binding a ...
C-N bond formation employing palladium and nickel precatalysts containing anionic phosphinobenzimidazole ligands
(2016)
In this investigation, the catalytic utility of anionic, phosphinobenzimidzoles
[Li(THF)2][1a] and [Li(THF)4][1b] in effecting the Buchwald-Hartwig amination reaction was
examined. Specifically, the coordination chemistry ...
Study of heteroaromatic enediyne and substituted benzothiophene synthesis with a study of unusual H NMR signals in neomenthyl halides
(2004)
The synthesis of a number of heteroaromatic enediynes has been examined using
the Sonogashira coupling reaction. Alkynes were coupled to 2,3-dibromothiophene to
yield a number o f hetero- and homo-disubstituted enediynes. ...
Synthesis and reactivity of enediynes
(2004)
The discovery of a class natural products with anti-cancer properties, the enediynes, has
stimulated interest in their research. Due to their cytotoxicity, these compounds are not feasible
for use in cancer treatment, ...
Synthesis of muramyl dipeptide analogues as immunomodulatory agents
(2018)
Peptidoglycan occurs naturally in cell wall structures of almost all types of bacteria. Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is a fragment of peptidoglycan, which consists of N-acetylmuramic acid that is attached to a dipeptide of ...
Investigation of the molecular basis for silicon biofunctionality
(2004)
Despite advances in our understanding of the beneficial role of silicon in the
biosphere, surprisingly little is known of the molecular mechanism by which silicon is
absorbed, transported, accumulated and deposited by ...
Study of the effect of gamma irradiation on cellular metabolism by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(2005)
The phenomenon of NMR plays an important role in a number of different
scientific and medical fields. Nuclear magnetic resonance has the ability to detect
changes in tumour, and cell metabolism caused by both chemotherapy ...
Synthesis and electrochemical study of Pt- and IrO2-based nanostructured materials
(2006)
With ever increasing awareness that our environment is being ravaged at an alarming rate and the very seriously high rate of diabetes, there has been much research into understanding, controlling and reversing these ...
Electrochemical oscillations during the anodic oxidation of sulfide
(2005)
Sulfide is most often encountered as a waste product of the pulp and paper,
petroleum, and mining industries. Organic decomposition is another major source of
sulfide. During my M. Sc. program, I have studied electrochemical ...
Synthesis and characterization of donor-acceptor oligothiophenes
(2005)
The field of organic conductors is multidisciplinary in nature. This thesis
introduces and characterizes new conducting materials based on heterosubstituted
oligothiophenes. Substituted bithiophenes, terthiophenes, and ...
