The foldability landscape of model proteins
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1997-10-05)
Molecular evolution may be considered as a walk in a multidimensional fitness landscape, where the fitness at each point is associated with features such as the function, stability, and survivability of these molecules. ...
Theoretical basis for the Dubinin-Radushkevitch (D-R) adsorption isotherm equation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-09)
The Dubinin-Radushkevitch (D-R) equation, which was originally proposed as an empirical adaptation The Polanyi adsorption potential theory, has been the fundamental equation to quantitatively describe the adsorption gases ...
ACS Student Affiliates at University of Michigan Use Their Passion for Chemistry to Inspire the Community and Other Students
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1997-10)
Going from almost zero to more than sixty active members in less than a year, the University of Michigan American Chemical Society Student Affiliate chapter is a success story about revitalizing a struggling chapter. ...
Purification and carbohydrate-binding specificity of Agrocybe cylindracea lectin
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
A lectin was isolated from fruiting bodies of Agrocybe cylindracea by two ion-exchange chromatographies and gel filtration on Toyopearl HW55F. The lectin was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular ...
Real-Time Measurement of Thin Film Thickness During Plasma Processing
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-12)
An in situ single point two-color laser interferometer is used to monitor in real-time the thickness of thin transparent films during processing. The instantaneous change of film thickness is determined by comparing the ...
Purification and characterization of a new mannose-specific lectin from Sternbergia lutea bulbs
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Chapman and Hall ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-01)
A new mannose-binding lectin was isolated from Sternbergia lutea bulbs by affinity chromatography on an α(1-2)mannobiose-Synsorb column and purified further by gel filtration. This lectin (S. lutea agglutinin; SLA) appeared ...
Progress in Practice: Bookends and Boilerplate I. Vigilance for the Obligations for Scholarship in Chemical Education
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1997-08)
Although its origins arise from confidential information, this article emerges from an area gray enough - important enough - to make the author (hereafter: I) comfortable with the context and sufficiently cautious to clear ...
Progress in Practice: Can Undergraduate Student Affiliate Groups Survive After the (Re)Energizers Graduate?
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., 1997-10)
The collective memory of the work of undergraduate student clubs is often fleeting, perhaps even more so than the memory of some academic faculty committees! Unlike fraternal organizations, with which members still identify ...
Thermodynamic model of secondary structure for α-helical peptides and proteins
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1997-08)
A thermodynamic model describing formation of α-helices by peptides and proteins in the absence of specific tertiary interactions has been developed. The model combines free energy terms defining α-helix stability in aqueous ...
Colloidally induced smectitic fines migration: Existence of microquakes
(American Institute of Chemical EngineersWiley Periodiocals, Inc., 1997-03)
The phenomenon of colloidally induced fines migration is a challenge of both scientific and industrial importance. Its occurrence impacts permeability reduction and alteration of flow pathways in porous media, particulate ...
