Characterization of Peripheral-Membrane Enzymes Required for Lipid A Biosynthesis in Gram-Negative Bacteria
(2010)Gram-negative bacteria possess an asymmetric outer membrane in which the inner leaflet is composed primarily of phospholipids while the outer leaflet contains both phospholipids and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). LPS forms a ... -
Mechanistic Characterization of Cyclic Pyranopterin Monophosphate Formation in Molybdenum Cofactor Biosynthesis
(2014)The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is an essential enzyme cofactor found in all kingdoms of life. Moco plays central roles in many vital biological processes, and must be biosynthesized de novo. During its biosynthesis, the ... -
Transformations and Photophysical Properties of Organic Molecules
(2018)In this dissertation we set out to describe the excited state properties of organic molecules as well as the inherent reactivity of organic molecules from a computational perspective. In order to compute excitation energies, ...
