The Effect Of Sample And Sample Matrix On Dna Processing: Mechanisms For The Detection And Management Of Inhibition In Forensic Samples, Lilliana I. Moreno
The Effect Of Sample And Sample Matrix On Dna Processing: Mechanisms For The Detection And Management Of Inhibition In Forensic Samples, Lilliana I. Moreno
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The presence of inhibitory substances in biological forensic samples has, and continues to affect the quality of the data generated following DNA typing processes. Although the chemistries used during the procedures have been enhanced to mitigate the effects of these deleterious compounds, some challenges remain. Inhibitors can be components of the samples, the substrate where samples were deposited or chemical(s) associated to the DNA purification step. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the extraction processes and their ability to handle the various types of inhibitory substances can help define the best analytical processing for any given sample. A series of experiments …

Multimode Analysis Of Nanoscale Biomolecular Interactions, Purushottam Babu Tiwari
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Biomolecular interactions, including protein-protein, protein-DNA, and protein-ligand interactions, are of special importance in all biological systems. These interactions may occer during the loading of biomolecules to interfaces, the translocation of biomolecules through transmembrane protein pores, and the movement of biomolecules in a crowded intracellular environment. The molecular interaction of a protein with its binding partners is crucial in fundamental biological processes such as electron transfer, intracellular signal transmission and regulation, neuroprotective mechanisms, and regulation of DNA topology. In this dissertation, a customized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) has been optimized and new theoretical and label free experimental methods with related analytical …
