Synthesis Of Novel Dna-Binding Polyamides To Prevent Cancer-Related Gene Overexpression, Huy Q. Nguyen Oct 2022

Synthesis Of Novel Dna-Binding Polyamides To Prevent Cancer-Related Gene Overexpression, Huy Q. Nguyen

Dissertations

Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PIPs) are nanomolecular compounds designed to fit in the tight space of DNA minor grooves. As analogs of Netropsin and Distamycin A, PIPs are specifically designed to recognize the base pairs of DNA sequences. PIPs have many biological applications, such as regulating gene expression, biochemistry pathway regulations, and suppressing the development of cancer cells. SETMAR gene is the chimeric fusion of the SET domain with the mariner transposase. Its protein (Metnase) has functions involving DNA repairs in the NHEJ pathway, regulating gene expression, DNA decatenation, etc. Despite not having an active transposable element, SETMAR still has an unknown …

Synthesis And Characterization Of Novel Organic Ligands With Their Complexes Of Platinum, Copper And Uranium, Mustafa Adnan Yasin Aldulaimi

Dissertations

Transition metal complexes of symmetrical and asymmetrical Schiff bases have played a significant role in the field of coordination, inorganic, and bioinorganic chemistry as models for biological, analytical, industrial, and pharmaceutical applications. Over recent years a great deal of interest has developed in new transition metal complexes of Schiff base ligand. The preparation of novel organic ligands is the most important step in the development of metal complexes that exhibit unique properties and novel reactivity. To highlight the presentation of this dissertation and to provide more detailed investigations, the dissertation was separated into six chapters according to the sequence of …
