DNA damage is the primary molecular mechanism responsible for cancer and aging. DNA lesions can derive from oxidation, deamination, or alkylation of the nucleobases. If …
First part of my research was to understand the facet-dependence, specifically (100) face of Cu nanomaterials in the selectivity of ethylene formation for CO2/CO reduction. …
The primary objective of this thesis is the development of methods to generate and detect local phonons in aqueous solutions, which lead to new understanding …
In 1970, G. Ohloff et al. (Helv. Chim. Acta. 1970) observed an unexpected product when preforming a Wharton reaction, i.e. reaction of an α,β-epoxy ketone …
This thesis describes two topics related with energy storage and conversion: the first topic investigates several polyanion-type compounds as cathode materials for Na-ion batteries, the …
Lithium enolates are used pervasively throughout organic synthesis as versatile carbon nucleophiles to introduce substituents alpha to the carbonyl group in ketones, esters, aldehydes, and …
My goal was to understand the role of streptomycin, an antibiotic from the aminoglycoside class and the original treatment for tuberculosis, in inhibiting bacterial protein …
