A Chemometric Model for the Rapid Determination of Phenolic Diterpenes in Domestic Rosemary
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Rosemary is a common household spice of interest due to its antioxidant properties, including specific phenolic diterpenes. These diterpenes are of interest to Kalsec because of their ability to act as a food preservative, ... -
Analysis of Drug Binding Modes with RNA using Two-Photon Excited Fluorescence
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Through using the two-photon excited fluorescence method, the two-photon absorption cross section was measured in order to study the binding modes of different fluorescent drugs on RNA. Two photon absorption and time ... -
The Neuroprotective Effects of RS-127445 in a Glutamate Excitotoxicity Model of Caenorhabditis elegans
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Neurodegenerative diseases affecting the central nervous system are characterized by neuronal impairment or death. One mechanism leading to neuronal death in many neurodegenerative diseases is glutamate excitotoxicity. ... -
Optimization of the Allosterically Regulated RNA Aptamer 5GR-II for in vivo Implementation Using Fluorescence Detection
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Allosterically regulated RNA aptamers have been observed in nature and have recently been exploited to target specific molecules of interest based on in vitro selection. RNA aptazymes have been developed as a detection ... -
Development of an In Vitro Model to Predict Idiosyncratic Drug Induced Liver Injury
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Idiosyncratic drug induced liver injury (IDILI) is a major concern within the pharmaceutical and clinical community due to its unpredictability and harmful effects. Current screening methods for classifying drugs that have ... -
Enhanced Photoluminescence from Chromophore-Functionalized Gold Clusters: Mechanism and Dynamics
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Water soluble highly luminescent optical materials have great potential for applications in biological imaging and sensing. Among different materials, semiconductor quantum dots have shown sharp luminescence spectra and ... -
Reaction of the Small-Ring Macrocycle N,N'–dimethyltribenzo–1,4,7–triazacyclononatriene and Copper(II) Bromide Produces Three Distinctly Different Products, Including a Nitrogen Cation Radical
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)This work began in 2010 as an attempt to form stable CuII complexes with a small ring organic macrocycle, N,N'–dimethyltribenzo–1,4,7–triazacyclononatriene (Me2N3—CTV) and copper(II) bromide (CuIIBr); instead the macrocycle ... -
Synthesis and Purification of Nanoparticles for Theoretical Optimal Biocompatibility in Future Cancer Therapy
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Cancer, a leading cause of death in today’s world, threatens to kill and destroy more and more lives each year. With very limited options for prevention, treatment after diagnosis is a limited path for most patients, ... -
An Investigation into the Lytic Activity of Melittin-nNOS Chimeric Peptides
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Antibiotic resistance has become a growing problem in a world of prescription drug overuse and misuse. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer one possible solution. Melittin (Mel), isolated from bee venom, is a known AMP. It ... -
Reassessment of Photodissociation Product Vector Correlations as Influenced by N,N-dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) Conformational Changes at 355 nm
(Kalamazoo College, 2017)Investigation of the photodissociation of a molecule can be performed by measuring the vector correlations between the parent molecule and its photoproduct. The dissociative process of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) at 355 nm ... -
Synthesis of 6-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone Derivatives as Potential Serotonin Receptor Ligands
(Kalamazoo College, 2018)Previous studies have shown that natural compound 5-hydroxy-2-(2- phenylethyl)chromone (5-HPEC, 5) acts as a non-nitrogenous antagonist for the serotonin receptor 5-HT2B. Additionally, a 7-hydroxy-2-(2-phenylethyl)chromone ... -
