Studying Protein–Glycolipid Interactions and Membrane Peptides and Proteins using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Model Membranes
DownloadFall 2018
Membrane systems, including glycolipids (GLs) and membrane peptides and proteins (MPs), play an important role in many cellular processes, such as singling, cellular recognition, transportation, and energy conversion. However, the amphipathic nature of GLs and MPs makes their analysis...

Surface fluorination of α-Fe2O3 using selectfluor for enhancement in photoelectrochemical properties
Download2022-09-22
Fluorinated α-Fe2O3 nanostructures are synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route using Selectfluor™ (F-TEDA) as a fluorinating as well as growth directing agent. The addition of incrementally increasing amount of F-TEDA to Fe precursor under hydrothermal conditions resulted in preferential...

It is desirable to predict the surface tension of liquid mixtures for a wide range of compositions, temperatures, and pressures, but current state-of-the-art calculations (e.g., density gradient theory) are computationally expensive. We propose a computationally simple—but accurate—semi-empirical...

Can a circular economy based on better design, production, and recycling of garments, slow “fast fashion” down long enough for us to save the planet? Green sourcing, sustainable production methods, and greater re-use and recycling is so fashionable right now that some of the world’s top designers...
