Introduction: Complete understanding of the mechanisms of biological processes, indispensable for the rational design and testing of therapeutic strategies, can be greatly facilitated by easy and rapid access to macromolecular ...

Advances in our understanding of cellular function and signal transduction have resulted in ever increasing number of therapeutical targets and, consequently, underscored a demand for simple and universally applicable ...

The reaction matrix of multichannel quantum defect theory, K, gives a complete picture of the electronic structure and the electron - nuclear dynamics for a molecule. The reaction matrix can be used to examine both bound ...

In this thesis, we present experimental methods and results of tabletop generation of high power single-cycle and frequency-tunable multiple-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses pumped with near-infrared ultrashort optical pulses ...

The radicals nitric oxide and superoxide are produced endogenously by activated macrophages and neutrophils and combine in a diffusion-limited reaction to form peroxynitrite, a powerful oxidizing and nitrating agent capable ...

Multi-electron reaction chemistry, from both ground- and excited-state species, is at the heart of many topics in renewable energy and catalysis. In this thesis, two classes of reactions central to the themes of energy ...

Building blocks, containing majority fluorine content by weight, for PPEs and PPVs have been synthesized. Some of the monomers were shown to give exclusively fluorous-phase soluble polymers, the syntheses of which were ...

Enantiomerically pure molybdenum imido alkylidene complexes of the type Mo(NAr)(CHCMe₂Ph)[Ar'](THF), which contained 3,3'-diaryl (Ar' = Mes (21), Ph (22)) substituted binaphtholate ligands, were prepared and structurally ...
