Structural analysis of amyloid fibrils modulated by ATP-independent disaggregase and environmental factors by Low, Kimberly Jia Yi

“…This thesis aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying amyloid disaggregation by an ATP-independent chaperone, Lipocalin Prostaglandin D Synthase (L-PGDS), through the construction of atomic model of TGFBI protein (TGFBIp) G623R fibrils using both cryo-electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. Additionally, we aim to elucidate the structural details of the complex formed between TGFBIp G623R fibrils and L-PGDS, utilizing both solid and solution state NMR data. …”

Organic compounds for improving quantification of environmental trace elements and to study CO2 conversion via combination of analytical and electrochemical techniques by Budanovic, Maja

“…A gas chromatography – mass spectrometry method was efficiently developed for quantification of very low product levels that could be present as liquid phase after electrolysis, and that cannot be detected using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In all cases, methanol was detected in limited yields and it is believed to be hindered by the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), a major competing side reaction. …”
