ELECTROSPRAY IONIZATION TIME OF FLIGHT MASS SPECTROMETRY OF POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) AND POLYSTYRENE USING SURFACE ACTIVE QUATERNARY AMMONIUM SALTS
(East Carolina University, 2011)
Electrospray ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (ESI-ToF-MS) is a powerful characterization technique for large nonvolatile compounds, but has found limited applicability in the synthetic polymer field. Two factors ...
Surfactant Assisted Electrospray Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry of Synthetic Polymers
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Synthetic polymers are complex mixtures which often require extensive characterization to determine chemical composition and structure. Mass spectrometric techniques have greatly enhanced the quantity, as well as the ...
STABILITY OF POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS AND BENZOIC ACID DERIVATIVES UNDER SUBCRITICAL WATER CONDITIONS
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The development of green environmental remediation, chromatography, and extraction techniques using subcritical water is the focus of our research group. The polarity of subcritical water can be manipulated by increasing ...
Improving the Reliability of Peptide-Zinc (II) Binding Constant Determination with Mass Spectrometry
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS) has become a powerful technique for analyzing protein- and peptide-ligand interactions and quantifying their binding constants (K[subscript]b). However, ESI-MS as an ...
Design and Quantitation of Membrane Binding Lipid Anchors : Exploring Prion-Prion Interactions on Membrane Surfaces
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The prion protein (PrP) is an endogenous, metal binding protein present in the neuronal cells of the central nervous system. Prion is associated with a class of neurodegenerative diseases known as transmissible spongiform ...
