• Studying sequence effects of mRNA 5' cap juxtapositions on translation initiation rate using randomization strategy of the extreme 5' end of mRNA 

  Pai, Anjali (University College Cork, 2018)

  Translation initiation is a complex process. The efficiency of translation initiation is determined not just by activity and availability of the translation initiation apparatus, but also the properties of mRNA 5’transcript ...
• Biocatalysis in organic synthesis 

  Foley, Aoife M. (University College Cork, 2019)

  The first chapter provides an overview of the use of biocatalysis for the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and natural products. This review focuses, in particular, on the impact of recent developments in technologies ...
• Synthetic and stereochemical aspects of enantioselective copper catalysed C-H insertion reactions leading to cyclopentanones and sultones 

  Shiely, Amy E. (University College Cork, 2018)

  This thesis describes the synthesis of a series of α-diazocarbonyl compounds including α-diazoβ-keto sulfones, α-diazo-β-keto phosphine oxides, 2-diazo-1,3-diketones and αdiazosulfonates, and their reactivity in intramolecular ...
• Exploiting the power of continuous flow chemistry in the synthesis and reactivity of alpha-diazosulfoxides 

  McCaw, Patrick G. (University College Cork, 2018)

  The research described in this thesis is an extensive study on the synthesis and reactivity of α-diazosulfoxides utilising continuous flow processing, and contrasting the outcomes from a synthetic perspective with traditional ...
• Novel strategies for optimization of the cheddar cheese manufacturing process 

  Hou, Jia (University College Cork, 2018)

  The effects of Cheddar cheese quality has been studied previously on pH, composition, ionic strength (NaCl) and temperature; however, physicochemical and biochemical parameters of cheese such as milk composition, processing ...
