Physicochemical properties of blue fluorescent protein determined via molecular dynamics simulation
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-12)
Blue fluorescent protein (BFP) is a mutant of green fluorescent protein (GFP), where the chromophore has been modified to shift the emitted fluorescence into the blue spectral region. In this study, MD calculations were ...
Kinetics of the gas-phase reactions of chlorine atoms with CH 2 F 2 , CH 3 CCl 3 , and CF 3 CFH 2 over the temperature range 253–553 K
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-06)
Relative rate techniques were used to study the title reactions in 930–1200 mbar of N 2 diluent. The reaction rate coefficients measured in the present work are summarized by the expressions k (Cl + CH 2 F 2 ) = 1.19 × ...
Structure and Function of Switchable Surfaces.
(2007)
The loosely-packed structure of low-density self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) enables the constituent molecules of these surfaces to undergo reversible conformational transitions in response to electrical stimulation, leading ...
Study of Dynamics and Structure of Anisotropic Colloidal Suspensions using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy.
(2009)
Although understanding of the phase behavior, assembly and dynamics of spherical colloids interacting through isotropic potentials is advanced, comparatively little is known about such properties of anisotropic suspensions. ...
Computational and Rheological Study of Wax Deposition and Gelation in Subsea Pipelines.
(2008)
Highly waxy crude oils can cause significant problems such as blockage of a pipeline because of the precipitation and deposition of select wax components during the production and transportation of the crude oil. The cost ...
Assessing the Role of Polydispersity and Cocrystallization on N-Paraffins Crystallizing in N-Paraffin Solutions.
(2009)
Wax deposition in subsea oil pipelines is a major challenge in the petroleum industry. The solid components of these wax-oil gel deposits are primarily n-alkanes. Wax-oil gel properties are a function of the composition ...
Supercritical Water Gasification of Biomass.
(2009)
We performed Supercritical Water Gasification (SCWG) for cellulose and lignin for the first time in the absence of catalytic effects from metallic walls, by using quartz reactors. We quantified the catalytic effect of ...
Advanced Components of Microfluidic Systems for Bioanalytical Applications.
(2009)
The need for detailed understanding of fundamental and advanced components towards the widespread use of microfluidic systems are addressed in this dissertation. First, to understand mixing in microfluidic lab-on-a-chip ...
Multifunctional Polymer Coatings via Chemical Vapor Deposition Copolymerization.
(2009)
The dissertation investigates how reactive polymer coatings can facilitate controlled immobilization of multiple biomolecules and can control multiple surface properties independently for biomedical applications. Chemical ...
