Enhancing detection sensitivity for measuring amino neurotransmitters with flow-gated capillary electrophoresis
(Wichita State University, 2020-07)Capillary electrophoresis (CE) commences as a promising technique for analyzing a variety of biological substances and has been used in bioanalytical and biopharmaceutical applications. Flow-gated CE has numerous advantages ... -
Enhancing the performance of an epoxy resin using oligomeric amide additives
(Wichita State University, 2012-05)An antiplasticizer is any chemical that when added, reduces the free volume of a polymer thereby restricting the polymeric chain motions. This type of additive usually increases the modulus and strength but can compromise ... -
Entropy connects water structure and dynamics in protein hydration layer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-07-03)The enzyme Candida Antarctica lipase B (CALB) serves here as a model for understanding connections among hydration layer dynamics, solvation shell structure, and protein surface structure. The structure and dynamics of ... -
Evaluating electronic structure methods for accurate calculation of F-19 chemical shifts in fluorinated amino acids
(Wiley, 2017-11-15)The ability of electronic structure methods (11 density functionals, HF, and MP2 calculations; two basis sets and two solvation models) to accurately calculate the F-19 chemical shifts of 31 structures of fluorinated amino ... -
Evaluation of the cure state and water content at carn fiber containing composite surfaces
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)A technique called ‘Near Infrared diffuse reflectance spectroscopy’ is able to monitor the moisture content in resin rich fiber reinforced composite surfaces and the cure state of resin at the surface of a resin rich fiber ... -
Evidence for a hydrogen abstraction mechanism in P450-catalyzed N-dealkylations
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2005-01-14)The experimental evidence presented in this manuscript suggest against the widely accepted single electron/proton transfer mechanism for P450 catalyzed N-dealkylations and provides strong support for a hydrogen atom ... -
Evidence that histidine protonation of receptor-bound anthrax protective antigen is a trigger for pore formation
(American Chemical Society, 2010-08-24)The protective antigen (PA) component of the anthrax toxin forms pores within the low pH environment of host endosomes through mechanisms that are poorly understood. It has been proposed that pore formation is dependent ... -
