6. Mechanistic Studies on Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer from Tyrosine and Tryptophan Derivatives
Abstract : Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from tyrosine (Y) and tryptophan (W) is vital to many redox reactions in Nature where PCET between several Ys, or Ws, or between a mix of Ys and Ws can be used to transfer electrons, or protons, or both over large distances of several Å. Studying the PCET reaction mechanisms of Y and W is important for fundamental knowledge, and can help researchers that wish to mimic redox reactions in Nature. READ MORE

7. Glycoconjugates : synthesis and investigation of carbohydrate-protein interactions
Abstract : To study the functions of glycoconjugates in biological systems reliable and efficient protocols for glycoconjugate synthesis are needed. To reach this goal we have developed methods for solid-phase synthesis of glycoconjugates that can be monitored with gel-phase 19F spectroscopy using fluorinated linkers, building blocks, and protecting groups.

8. A biophysical study of nucleic acid interactions with analogues and drugs
Abstract : work presented in this thesis concerns studies on the physicochemical nature of interactions between nucleic acids and small ligands. The outcome of such studies can yield insights at a molecular level into the physiological mechanisms of action of biologically active nucleic-acid binding molecules. READ MORE

9. Synthesis and structure activity relationships of competitive NMDA antagonists with analgesic activity
Abstract : The compounds cis-3-(1-oxo-2-phosphonoethyl)-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid 1 and cis-3-(1-hydroxy-2-phosphonoethyl)-2-piperidinecarboxylic acid 2 were synthesized and found to be potent N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonists. NMR analysis showed that 1 prefers a 2eq,3ax chair conformation probably due to a conformer-stabilizing internal hydrogen bond. READ MORE

10. Design and synthesis of glycose-derivatives and related molecules for cell membrane mimetics
Abstract : A series of glucopyranose (α-D-glucose, β-D-glucose, D-gluconic acid and 6-amino-6-deoxy-D-glocuse) terminated alkanethiol acetals have been successfully synthesized. α and β-D-glucose were configured in controlled ways coupling with alkanethiol, in which bromosugar and trichloroacetirnidates were selected as activated glycosyl donors using different promoters tetraalkylammonium bromide (Et4NBr) and trimethylsilanetriflate (TMSOTf) respectively.
