Controlling “chemical nose” biosensor characteristics by modulating gold nanoparticle shape and concentration
(Elsevier, 2015-09)Conventional lock-and-key biosensors often only detect a single pathogen because they incorporate biomolecules with high specificity. “Chemical nose” biosensors are overcoming this limitation and identifying multiple ... -
Design, construction and characterization of LysK endolysin display phage against Staphylococcus aureus
(University of Waterloo, 2014-02-04)The growing threat of drug- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections mandates the need to develop novel, effective and alternative antibacterial therapeutics. Despite infection prevention and control measures, ... -
Evaluation of a Novel Glycoprotein on Commercial Contact Lenses
(University of Waterloo, 2015-05-22)PURPOSE The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the interaction of a novel glycoprotein, known as proteoglycan 4 (PRG4), with various commercial contact lenses. METHODS PRG4 was investigated for its effects on ...
