Synthesis of glucaminium-based ionic liquids and their application in the removal of boron from water.
(University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 2012)A novel class of ionic liquids (ILs), exhibiting high selectivity towards boron species as well as the ability to phase separate from water, were synthesized from N-methyl-D-glucamine. The complexation of boric acid/borate ... -
Dissecting electrostatic interactions in Bacillus circulans xylanase through NMR-monitored pH titrations.
(University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 2011)NMR-monitored pH titration curves of proteins provide a rich source of structural and electrostatic information. Although relatively straightforward to measure, interpreting pH-dependent chemical shift changes to obtain ... -
MUC1-C oncoprotein induces TCF7L2 transcription factor activation and promotes cyclin D1 expression in human breast cancer cells.
(University of NairobiFaculty of medicine, 2012)MUC1 is a heterodimeric glycoprotein that is overexpressed in breast cancers. The present studies demonstrate that the oncogenic MUC1 C-terminal subunit (MUC1-C) associates with the TCF7L2 transcription factor. The MUC1-C ... -
