Insight into Ligand Binding and Conformational Dynamics of Kynurenine 3-Monooxygenase
(Cell Press, 2018-02-02)Cellular and developmental pathogenesis is the result of complicated cellular processes involving molecular interactions among cells and their intra- and inter-cellular milieus. The characterization of molecular interactions ... -
Insight into the broad substrate promiscuity of E. coli alcohol dehydrogenase
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03-20)The NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (YqhD) from E. coli is a promiscuous enzyme with low substrate specificity. YqhD exhibits aldehyde reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase activity with a broad substrate range and ... -
Interfacial tension depressant effects of an acid corrosion inhibitor
(Wichita State University, 1937-06)Following the treatment of oil and gas wells with hydrochloric acid, it has occasionally been observed that the spent acid can be withdrawn from the well only with difficulty due to the fact that the pores of the earth’s ... -
Intrinsic hydration of monopositive uranyl hydroxide, nitrate, and acetate cations
(Springer, 2004-06-01)The intrinsic hydration of three monopositive uranyl-anion complexes (UO(2)A)(+) (where A = acetate, nitrate, or hydroxide) was investigated using ion-trap mass spectrometry (IT-MS). The relative rates for the formation ... -
Introducing supramolecular interactions into robust bis(tetrabromocatecholate) chelated manganese(III) systems and biomimetic catalytic activity
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2017-02-23)This report deals with the syntheses, structures, supramolecular interactions, and biomimetic catalytic activity of three new manganese(III) complexes (1-3) containing the tetrabromocatechol ligand. Three different amines ... -
Investigating photoinduced energy and electron transfer mechanisms in ferrocene-zinc porphyrin-boron dipyrrin-fullerene supramolecular construct
(American Chemical Society, 2014-03-16)Photoinduced energy (EnT) and electron transfer (ET) processes have been the driving force in the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy or fuels. Understanding the mechanism is vital in designing “antenna-reaction ... -
Investigating the role of actin-binding protein palladin in actin regulation
(Wichita State University, 2017-07)Palladin, an actin-binding and bundling protein, plays an important role in normal cell adhesion and motility via organizing the actin cytoskeleton. Palladin exists in multiple isoforms in humans and its canonical isoform ... -
Investigation of abiotic degradation of tire cryogrinds
(Elsevier, 2022-01-05)The abundance of microplastics found in the environment is a major cause of concern. Tire tread particles containing additives such as curing accelerators and antioxidants, can be a major source of elastomer pollution in ... -
Investigation of gas-phase metal ion complexes using infrared multiple photon dissociation spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations
(Wichita State University, 2010-05)A combination of theoretical chemistry and “action” spectroscopy has become the most used tool for the exploration of gas-phase molecular ions. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to ... -
Investigation of intramolecular proton migration in a series of model, metal-cationized tripeptides using in situ generation of an isotope label
(John Wiley and Sons, 2006-01-01)In this study we used an isotope label, generated in situ, to investigate intramolecular proton migration or scrambling during formation of [b(2)+17+Li](+) products by collision-induced dissociation (CID) of Li(+)-cationized ... -
Investigation of the neutral loss of a full amino acid mass during collision-induced dissociation of the b(3)+ ion derived from a model peptide containing a 4-aminobutyric acid residue
(John Wiley and Sons, 2007-01-01)In a previous study we found that a dominant fragmentation pathway observed for collision-induced dissociation (CID) of b(3)+ derived from peptides with sequence AXAG, where X is gamma-aminobutyric acid (gammaAbu) or ... -
Investigation of the pH dependent conformational changes of anthrax protective antigen and interactions with its cellular receptor
(Wichita State University, 2011-05)Pathogenesis of anthrax is due primarily to the secretion of the anthrax toxin, a tripartite set of proteins that include protective antigen (PA), edema factor (EF), and lethal factor (LF). PA binds to the Von-Willebrand ... -
Investigation of uranium and various ligand complexes in the gas phase using electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry
(Wichita State University, 2007-12)The speciation and reactivity of uranium is a topic of sustained interest because species dependent chemistry controls processes ranging from nuclear fuel processing to mobility and fate in the geological surface. Past ... -
Investigations of acidity and nucleophilicity of diphenyldithiophosphinate ligands using theory and gas-phase dissociation reactions
(American Chemical Society, 2008-04-21)Diphenyldithiophosphinate (DTP) ligands modified with electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl (TFM) substitutents are of high interest because they have demonstrated potential for exceptional separation of Am (3+) from ... -
