Morgan I. D. Johnson; Lavinia Mbongo; Amy J. Managh – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An ICP-MS simulation was developed to support the teaching of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The app enables students to conduct the quantification of selenium in a nutritional supplement, monitor the uptake of metallodrugs by cells, and perform qualitative analysis of gunshot residue. The experiments teach a range of analytical…

Hadi D. Arman; Tu M. Ho; Kaitlyn Varela; Cynthia S. Veliz; Richard B. Zanni; Armando Rodriguez; Zhiwei Wang; Francis K. Yoshimoto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Eleven different laboratory experiments were designed and executed throughout a semester to provide a meaningful research experience for 23 undergraduate biochemistry majors at UTSA. The topic of the semester was based on the idea of exploring new aspects to enhance our understanding of how the human body uses cytochrome P450 enzymes to metabolize…

Fuson, Michael M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Laboratories studying the anisotropic rotational diffusion of bromobenzene using nuclear spin relaxation and molecular dynamics simulations are described. For many undergraduates, visualizing molecular motion is challenging. Undergraduates rarely encounter laboratories that directly assess molecular motion, and so the concept remains an…

Muelleman, Andrew W.; Glaser, Rainer E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Literacy requires reading comprehension, and fostering reading skills is an essential prerequisite to and a synergistic enabler of the development of writing skills. Reading comprehension in the chemical sciences not only consists of the understanding of text but also includes the reading and processing of data tables, schemes, and graphs. Thus,…

Bigger, Stephen W.; Bigger, Andrew S.; Ghiggino, Kenneth P. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
The "FluSpec" educational software package is a fully contained tutorial on the technique of fluorescence spectroscopy as well as a simulator on which experiments can be performed. The procedure for each of the experiments is also contained within the package along with example analyses of results that are obtained using the software.

Ugone, Valeria; Garribba, Eugenio; Micera, Giovanni; Sanna, Daniele – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
In this laboratory activity, the equilibrium between square pyramidal and octahedral V(IV)O[superscript 2+] complexes is described. We propose a set of experiments to synthesize and characterize two types of V(IV)O[superscript 2+] complexes. The experiment allows great flexibility and may be effectively used at a variety of levels and the activity…
