Development of glucose-oxidising enzyme electrodes for application in glucose|oxygen powered enzymatic fuel cells
(2016-02)The objective of this thesis is to investigate different strategies for the optimisation of biocatalytic anodes with a view to developing a semi- or fully implantable, miniature, membrane-less enzymatic fuel cell via ... -
DNA hybridisation detection on chemically modified electrodes with bioelectrocatalytic amplification of signal
(2011-12-22)Electrochemical detection of DNA hybridization is a viable alternative to optical and radio-labelled techniques. The benefits of using biosensors based on electrochemical systems are: high sensitivity, possible development ... -
Enzymes in the World of Computational Chemistry - Computational Studies on Structures, Dynamics, Mechanisms, and Specificity of Five Biologically Important Enzymes
(2012-10-30)The thesis demonstrates computational chemical methodology applied to some biologically important enzymes. Five enzymes have been studied, i.e. sortase A (SrtA), 2-Methyl-3-hydroxypyridine-5-carboxylic acid oxygenase ... -
Investigating the Structural and Magnetic Characteristics of Polynuclear Complexes including the Solid-State Hosting Abilities of [M7] {M = Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II/III)} Metallocalix[6]arene Discs.
(2012-11-02)We report the synthesis, structural and magnetic characterisation of a family of planar, pseudo metallocalix[6]arene disc-like complexes (1-10 and 14-21) of general formula [M7(OH)6(Lx)6](NO3)2 {M = Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II/III)} ...
