51 | Randolph, Charlotte | Synthesis of VLC-Pufas relating to macular degenerative diseases | Very Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (VLC-PUFAs) are non-dietary fatty acids that are more than 24 carbons long and include more than one double bond. The specific compound we have focused on is 32:6 n-3: a 32-carbon molecule having 6 cis alkenes with the alkenes beginning at the omega 3 carb... | 2022 | ||
52 | Aderibigbe, Justis | Trends in the usage of bidentate phosphines as ligands in nickel catalysis of hydrogenation reactions | A critically important process in catalysis is the formation of an active catalyst from the combination of a metal precursor and a ligand, as the efficacy of this reaction governs the amount of active catalyst. This review is a compacted but comprehensive review of reactions catalyzed by nickel and ... | 2021 | ||
53 | Austin, Maxwell Jack | Triazolinedione-based methods for peptide cyclization and efforts toward the total synthesis of (-)-Biotin | Chapter 1 presents the development of a triazolinedione-based, tyrosine-selective method to cyclize short- to medium-sized peptides. The development of efficient conditions to prepare precursor ‘urazole' peptides is discussed. Preliminary efforts to oxidize and cyclize urazole peptides are discuss... | 2023 | ||
54 | Walker, Kortnie | Understanding and treating diabetic retinopathy | Diabetic retinopathy is a neurovascular disease of the retina and is the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population in the United States. Complications as a result of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) break down the blood-retina barrier (BRB) and retinal vasculature. Current tre... | Diabetic retinopathy | 2015-05 |
