Detection of Environmental DNA Damage Using Electrochemical Sensors and Mass Spectrometry
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-04)Nickel exposure has been linked to a variety of health complications including instances of tumors and cancer in living organisms. Exposure to nickel can occur due to pollution from mining or industrial applications. ... -
ELECTROCHEMICAL DETECTION OF BENZO[A]PYRENE METABOLITE DNA DAMAGE : IMPLICATIONS OF NUCLEOBASE SEQUENCE AND ADDUCT STEREOCHEMISTRY
(East Carolina University, 2011)Xenobiotics are chemical compounds introduced to living organisms that originate outside the body. A well-studied xenobiotic is benzo[a]pyrene (BP), a polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) primarily introduced into the body via ... -
Electrochemical Detection of Benzo[a]Pyrene-Induced DNA Damage at TP53 Oligomers : Impact of 5'-Methyl Cytosine and Bioactivation on the Genotoxicity Process
(East Carolina University, 2014)DNA houses the blueprint that dictates how an organism will develop. However, DNA features numerous reactive sites that can be attacked by chemicals and radiation, resulting in DNA damage and possibly mutations. Chemical ... -
Identifying compensatory genomic changes due to nickel (Ni2+) exposure: electrochemistry and quantifying DNA damage
(East Carolina University, 2020-11-24)Nickel is a toxic heavy metal that has been shown to cause adverse healthconditions in organisms. DNA damage has been observed in nematodes in response to nickel exposure. Nematodes originating from environments with high ...
