Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is an auxin produced by terrestrial plants which influences development through a variety of cellular mechanisms, such as altering cell orientation, organ development, fertility, and cell elongation. IAA is also produced by bacterial pathogens and symbionts of plants...

The results of an investigation into the influence of sulfolane, a commonly used supercharging agent, on electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements of protein–ligand affinities are described. Binding measurements carried out on four protein–carbohydrate complexes, lysozyme...

The effect of the N1 ribose sugar on the initial excited‐state structural dynamics of uridine is explored with ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy. Excited‐state slopes and broadening parameters were obtained by simulating the resonance Raman excitation profiles and absorption spectrum using...

The human neuraminidase enzymes (NEU1, NEU2, NEU3, and NEU4) are a class of enzymes implicated in pathologies including cancer and diabetes. Several reports have linked neuraminidase activity to the regulation of cell migration in cancer cells. Using an in vitro cell migration assay on...

In this investigation, we show that RNA can be separated from a solution containing DNA and RNA and the isolated RNA can be detected using poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-(3-aminopropyl) methacrylamide hydrochloride) microgel-based optical devices (etalons). The isolation of RNA was accomplished...

Xu, Wenwen, Wei, Menglian, Serpe, Michael J.

A facile self‐assembly method is presented to prepare poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐based microgels modified anisotropically with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to yield Janus microgels. Transmission electron microscopy is used to confirm that microgels are selectively coated on one or both sides with...

Islam, Molla R., Serpe, Michael J.

Dual pH and temperature sensitive microgel-based etalons were fabricated by sandwiching a “monolithic” microgel layer between two semitransparent, Au layers. The devices exhibit visual color and multipeak reflectance spectra, both of which primarily depend on the distance between the Au surfaces...

The practicality of obtaining liquid‐ and solid‐state 207Pb nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra with a low permanent‐field magnet is investigated. Obtaining 207Pb NMR spectra of salts in solution is shown to be viable for samples as dilute as 0.05 M. The concentration dependence of the 207Pb...
