Protein folding involves a stochastic search through the configurational energy landscape towards the native structure. Although most proteins have evolved to fold efficiently into a unique native structure, misfolding (the formation of non-native structures) occurs frequently in vivo causing a...

Most crude oils contain traces of vanadyl porphyrins within their asphaltene fraction. Although these metals are only present in trace quantities, they have a significant detrimental impact on crude oil processing units; therefore, their selective removal is highly desirable. The current work...

Structure and stability of carbohydrate-lipid interactions: Methylmannose polysaccharide-fatty acid complexes
Download2016
Klassen, John S., Siuda, Iwona, Renaud, Justin, Tieleman, D. Peter, Kitova, Elena N., Liu, Lan, Mayer, Paul M., Richards, Michele R., Lowary, Todd L.
We report a detailed study of the structure and stability of carbohydrate–lipid interactions. Complexes of a methylmannose polysaccharide (MMP) derivative and fatty acids (FAs) served as model systems. The dependence of solution affinities and gas-phase dissociation activation energies (Ea) on FA...

Study of the Thermal Stability of Hydrotalcite and Carbon Dioxide Capture Capacity of Hydrotalcite-derived Mixed Oxides using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadFall 2017
Hydrotalcites (HTlcs) or layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are used in a wide range of applications such as catalysis, electrochemical sensors, wastewater treatment and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation was employed to investigate carbon dioxide adsorption...

Studying Structure-Nanoaggregation Relations of Polyaromatic Molecules in the Bulk Oil Phase and at the Oil-Water Interface Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation
DownloadSpring 2014
The detection, identification and characterization of early stage molecular association of polyaromatic molecules into nanoaggregates, where these nanoaggregates represent the first level of molecular clusters or building blocks are critical in areas such as design and fabrication of advanced 3-D...

Tau seeding in a HEK cell model is influenced by aggregation inducers and cellular chaperones
DownloadFall 2022
The tau protein is a microtubule associated protein whose misfolding and subsequent aggregation have been associated with a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies. Studying tau in a lab setting has been crucial for the advancement of knowledge and technology used to treat people...
