The scope of this dissertation is two-fold: assembly of histidine-tagged peptides and proteins directly to the surface of a 1.5 nm AuNP and the assembly and delivery of nano-medical materials for MR imaging and gene therapy. Chapter 1 is...
Nanotechnology is a frontier area of scientific research that involves materials and devices with at least one dimension at or below 100 nm scale. The ability to rationally synthesize and characterize functional materials at the...
This dissertation presents work on fabrication and room-temperature characterization of mesoscopic Hall sensors from InAs/AlSb quantum well semiconductor heterostructures. It also demonstrates suitability of these devices for detection...
We have developed a method for rapid, massively-parallel assembly and alignment of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) on a solid-state substrate. The results opened the possibility of production of SWCNT-based integrated circuits. In...
This dissertation provides an overview of a self assembled multi-layer technique based on the alternating deposition of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes onto charged solid supports. The basic principles and methodologies governing...
RNA-Metal Ion Interactions and Metal Ion-Induced Confromational Change in the Spliceosomal U2-U6 Snrna Complex Studied by Lanthanide Ion Luminescnece and Resonance Energy Transfer Techniques
RNA splicing is an integral step of gene expression. In eukaryotic cells, it is carried out by a dynamic RNA-protein assembly called the spliceosome. Among its RNA components, U2 and U6 snRNAs are most conserved and form a complex with...
