The MUC-1 mucin is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane protein found on the apical surface of epithelial cells with a short cytoplasmic end and a longer extracellular domain consisting of multiple 20-amino acid tandem ...

The purpose of this study was to examine the benefits and drawbacks of enhanced oil recovery (EOR).

The crystal structure of the mucin monoclonal antibody SM3 complexed with a 13 amino acid MUC1 mucin peptide was determined. The high selectivity of the SM3 antibody to the aberrant carbohydrate cancer mucin peptide suggests ...

In the present study, we have employed site-directed mutagenesis to probe the role of four residues in E. coli ProRS (Ec ProRS) on the overall catalytic function. Specifically, we examined the impact of changes in amino ...

This study involves the development, synthesis, and characterization of new biomimetic model systems consisting of a tetra-dentate N3[subscript]O-containing ligand (BPG) and divalent first-row transition metal ions observed ...

Initially, we were interested in whether the hydrogen bonding in HF (l) or in H2O (l) is stronger. Therefore, we examined a series of binary complexes involving HF & H2O: (H2O)2, (HF)2, and three isomers of H2O/HF. We ...

The overall goal of our experimental research program is to determine bond properties, such as vibrational frequencies, for small molecules.

“Smart polymers” change their mechanical properties in response to changes in stimuli, such as pH, temperature, and polymer concentration. We chose to focus on the viscoelastic properties when determining the effects of ...

The present study deals with nitrile-GeF4 complexes. We hypothesize that adding electronegative halogens to the nitrile will weaken the complex and enhance them.

The overall goal of our experimental research program is to determine bond properties, such as vibrational frequencies, for small molecules. Such data may be used by computational chemists to verify their theoretical ...
