The Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE) family of enzymes has been shown to reduce industrially important chemicals and has been used to study quantum tunnelling during enzymatic hydrogen transfer. Though extensively studied, only mesophilic homologues have been studied within the enzyme fa…

This thesis combines solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), chemical synthesis, isotopic enrichment and density-functional theory (DFT) calculations to provide insight into a number of microporous materials. The first class of materia…
A series of Pt(S₂N₂)(P(OR)[subscript n]R′[subscript(3-n)])₂ complexes were prepared and analysed using ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X-ray crystallography. Similarly, a series of Pt(SeSN₂)(P(OR)[subscript n]R′[subscript(3-n)])₂ complexes were also prepared …
The research presented within this thesis is concerned with the design, synthesis, characterisation, and analysis of a series of new compounds of platinum (II), with aims to produce compounds possessing switchable optical properties, and with potential applications as "smart-mat…
X-ray crystallography is an important analytical method for the characterisation of materials in the solid state. During the last decade, it has become important as a tool in the new field of photocrystallography. This combines both crystallography and photochemistry and is used…
This study investigates the photoluminescence (PL), cathodoluminescence (CL), radioluminescence (RL) and ionoluminescence (IL) of natural and synthetic minerals. The natural minerals (fluorapatite, leucophanite, meliphanite and zircon) are mostly from Ilímaussaq Alkaline Complex…
The activator of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb), is a membrane-associated protein belonging to the Ras subfamily of small GTPases. Rheb's slow GTPase activity is stimulated by the GTPase activating protein (GAP) domain of t…
