Analysis of Circular Dichroism and Linear Dichroism Spectroscopy
(East Carolina University, 2012)Circular Dichroism (CD) and Linear Dichroism (LD) spectroscopies measure the difference in absorption between left and right circularly polarized light and parallel and perpendicular linearly polarized light as a function ... -
Investigation of possible driving forces on counter-intuitive thermal collapse of intrinsically disordered proteins
(East Carolina University, 2016-08-18)Intrinsically disordered proteins are an emerging class of proteins that contain no secondary or tertiary structure. Through bioinformatics studies it has been predicted that a third of the human proteome consists of ... -
Thermodynamic and Spectroscopic Investigations of Novel Antimicrobial Peptides containing Unnatural Amino Acids with Model Membrane Systems
(East Carolina University, 2011)With the over prescription and use of antibiotic drugs the evolution of drug resistant bacteria strains has become a world wide health crisis. In response to this crisis, the search for new drugs to kill bacteria via a ... -
Thermodynamic and spectroscopic studies of Cd²⁺ binding to the regulatory domain and full length human cardiac troponin C (HcTnC) : elucidating plausible Cd²⁺ binding sites
(East Carolina University, 2015)Toxic metals such as cadmium (Cd²⁺) have been shown to bind to and interfere with various calcium (Ca²⁺) binding proteins including the regulatory protein cardiac troponin C (cTnC). Recent structural data has shown that ...
