Giancaspro, Joseph; Scollan, Patrick; Rosario, Juan; Miller, Elizabeth; Braziel, Samuel; Lee, Sunghee – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
In an upper-division interdisciplinary laboratory experiment, students use Raman spectroscopy to highlight how the overall structure and conformational order of lipid bilayers can be influenced by their individual phospholipid composition. Students prepare a supported lipid bilayer, as a model cell membrane, by spreading liposomes made of various…

Vasicek, Thaddeus W.; Kress, Patrick M.; Jenkins, Samir V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Nanoscale phenomena are under increasingly intense investigation both in academia and industry. The unique physical and chemical properties stemming from their high surface area and confined space lead to properties that are distinct from atomic and bulk materials. Students need experience in nanoscience to enter this growing field of nanoscience…

Niu Huang; Chao Li; Shili Gan; Cancan Le; Huan Liu; Wei Liu; Liqun Ye – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
With the benefits of low cost, energy efficiency, and environmental protection, photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered to be the most promising technology for the development of a clean and sustainable society. However, the utilization of photocatalytically generated hydrogen is not very common yet. Therefore, tertiary education urgently…

Parish-Virtue, Katie; Johannisson-Wallman, Mikael; Pilkington, Lisa I.; Hsieh, Sally; Barker, David; Fedrizzi, Bruno – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The combination of organic synthesis and analytical chemistry into a related laboratory experiment is an excellent demonstration of the utility of making a compound to then be used further. Herein we describe an undergraduate laboratory experiment that involves the straightforward synthesis of an internal standard, ethyl 6-acetyloxyhexanoate, for…

Mavor, David Carl – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Ubiquitin is essential for eukaryotic life and varies in only 3 amino acid positions between yeast and humans. However, recent deep sequencing studies indicate that ubiquitin is highly tolerant to single mutations. We hypothesized that this tolerance would be reduced by chemically induced physiologic perturbations. To test this hypothesis, a class…
