There is great interest in exploiting van der Waals gaps in layered materials. Two-dimensional (2D) nanosheets of graphene oxide (GO) films are of great potential …
The DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway is compromised of several enzymes, including DNA glycosylases, apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1), DNA polymerase β (pol β) …
Carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions (CCIs) mediate cell-cell adhesion and are involved in processes that include embryo development, metastasis, and myelin compaction. The main focus of this thesis …
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria present an ever-growing challenge to physicians. The growing antibiotic resistance among pathogenic bacteria has caused the Centers for Disease Control …
Recent advances in the speed and sensitivity of mass spectrometers and analytical methods, the exponential acceleration of computer powers, and the availability of genomic databases …
DNA serves as a stable medium of genomic data but is also chemically reactive. These reactions may cause deleterious DNA damage undermining the integrity of …
The accurate evaluation of quantum mechanical properties of molecules and materials becomes more challenging when highly accurate descriptions of electron correlation are required. Different flavors …
Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs) consist of a thin slab of luminescent composite that absorbs sunlight and re-emits it at a lower energy level, subsequently directing …
Oral dosage forms are generally targeting the absorption in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. For systemic drug delivery, bioavailability of administered drugs is determined by their …
