Characterisation of inorganic materials using solid-state NMR spectroscopy
(University of St Andrews, 2016-06-22) - ThesisThis thesis uses solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to study local structure and disorder in inorganic materials. Initial work concerns microporous ... -
Structure determination of the major outer membrane protein from Campylobacter jejuni & Structural and functional studies of the endonuclease from Lassa virus
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - ThesisThe major outer membrane protein, MOMP, is the main protein in the outer membrane of pathogenic Campylobacter bacteria. Infection with Campylobacter is the principle cause of severe enteritis and untreated may result ... -
Multivicinal fluorine substitution of the cyclohexane ring
(University of St Andrews, 2014) - ThesisHighly polar organic fluorinated motifs are of interest in materials chemistry, for example, in liquid crystal applications. Cyclohexane is an important and widely used structural motif within organic chemistry. Work has ... -
Cu and Pd complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes : catalytic applications as single and dual systems
(University of St Andrews, 2015-11-18) - ThesisNowadays, the requirement to design highly valuable compounds is undoubtedly one of the major challenges in the field of organic and organometallic chemistry. The use of the versatile and efficient N-heterocyclic carbenes ... -
Taking a molecular motor for a spin : helicase mechanism studied by spin labelling and PELDOR
(2015-12-10) - Journal articleThe complex molecular motions central to the functions of helicases have long attracted attention. Protein crystallography has provided transformative insights into these dynamic conformational changes, however important ...
