Strengthening instruction in STEM fields can benefit student learning as well as foster positive attitudes towards the sciences. This project tries to answer the question whether there is a measurable difference in ...

A liquid crystal is state of matter that simultaneously displays properties of both a liquid and a solid. Liquid Crystals have applications in liquid crystal displays (LCD’s) and optical imaging. Liquid crystals or “mesogens” ...

All living organisms contain amino-acyl tRNA synthetases (AARSs) ‒ a family of enzymes critical for protein synthesis. They are responsible for the covalent ligation of proline to its specific tRNA molecule, called tRNAPro, ...

Planar conjugated organic compounds can be incorporated into a variety of applications due to their unique optical properties. One such class of these compounds contains the pyryliumunit, which is capable of reversible ...

Building off previous research on XOD ligand docking, the purpose of this project is to seek a caffeine derivative compound structurally similar to Urate and Allopurinol that would exhibit a similar binding mechanism to ...
