The purpose of this study was to discuss the results of this computation study about modeling the gamma-glutamyl carboxylase reaction, which is responsible for clotting factors in the blood.

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 (LCDs) and optical imaging technology. Liquid crystals ...

Condensed phase effects on structure/bonding H-bonded complexes, e.g. H[3]N-HCI, CH[3]CN-HCI. A key issue is how medium effects affect extent of proton transfer. We are exploring pyridine and its fluorinated analogs as N ...

Our results demonstrate that the presence of the INS is critical to provide the required energy barrier for the substrate to be bound to the catalytic core, instead of getting spontaneously hydrolyzed.

The purpose of this study was to exmaine the synthesis of smart polymers, including PEG-PDMAEMA as well as cloud point.

The purpose of this study was to develop a novel analytical method for quantifying respirable, airborne silicon containing particles.

The goal of this study is two-fold: to gather information about the impact of flipped and traditional teaching modes on student understanding of course material, as well measuring students' attitudes about chemistry. Our ...

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

Polymers are made of covalently bonded repeat units, called monomers, which make up long chains. The structure can be controlled to achieve a diblock copolymer with two different repeat units connected in blocks. “Smart” ...

This project aims to analyze the state of the current Chemistry 103 lab manual in order to understand the demands place on entry-level chemistry students.
