Abstract:
<p> Cytochrome P450s (P450s) are a superfamily of enzymes that catalyze oxidation of unactivated hydrocarbons. However, the means by which P450s control (1) regioselectivity of their activity and (2) specificity in their molecular recognition remain largely elusive. Toward investigation of the role of dynamics in the regioselectivity of the archetypal cytochrome P450cam (P450cam), two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy has been applied with heme-bound carbon monoxide (CO) as an infrared probe of the active site. The data support a model for P450cam regioselectivity in which binding of different

Abstract:
The gas-phase proton affinities of several highly basic amino acids and diamines were determined using the extended kinetic method in an ESI-quadrupole ion trap instrument. The non-protein amino acid L-canavanine is structurally related to L-arginine with an oxygen substituted for the terminal methylene group of L-arginine and is highly toxic to humans. The proton affinity of L-arginine, a protein amino acid, was determined to be 1036 kJ mol -1, whereas the proton affinity of L-canavanine was determined to be 1005 kJ mol-1.

Thrombin is the key protease that regulates hemostasis; the delicate balance between procoagulation and anticoagulation of blood. In clotting disorders, like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, procoagulation is up-regulated, but propagation of clotting can be inhibited with drugs targeting the proteases involved, like thrombin. Such drugs however, have serious side effects (e.g., excessive bleeding) and some require monitoring during the course of treatment. The reason for these side effects is the mechanism by which the drugs’ act. The two major mechanisms are direct orthosteric and

Abstract:
Residual dipolar couplings have been introduced recently as a new type of experimental constraints in biomolecular structure determination by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These interactions are obtained by imparting weak orientational ordering to a biomolecule in a dilute liquid crystal. This results in a partial cancellation of anisotropic interactions such as the chemical shift anisotropy (CSA), the quadrupolar coupling and the dipolar coupling. Because the alignment is weak, only strong interactions manifest. These measurements can be used to refine structure or to define folds

Abstract:
The research embodied in this text involves the characterization and optimization of novel materials and interfaces critical to the performance of organic electronic devices: Thrust 1. A scheme for elucidating the relative significance of energy vs. charge transfer (ET vs. CT) routes to guest dye emission in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) was developed using near-IR emissive phthalocyanine (Pc) or naphthalocyanine (NPc) dopants. CT processes were observed to occur by an oxidized guest mechanism, which may be predicted from the solution electrochemistry of these materials. Additionally,

Abstract:
<p> Electrospray ionization (ESI) is a premier method for volatilizing and ionizing biological analytes for mass spectrometry. In conventional mass spectrometry (MS), the spectrum of mass-to-charge ratio (<i>m/z</i>) for an ensemble of ions is measured. ESI produces a distribution of charges for each ionized species, and the mass of each species is determined by assigning a charge state to each peak in the <i>m/z</i> spectrum. These peaks are difficult to resolve for species above the 100-kDa range because of peak broadening and shifting due to salt adducts, incomplete desolvation, and intrins

Abstract:
Symmetric division of Gram-negative bacteria depends on the combined action of three proteins that ensure correct positioning of the cell division septum; namely, MinC, MinD and MinE. To achieve this function, MinC and MinD form a membrane-bound complex that blocks cell division at all potential sites. Opposing this inhibition is MinE, which interacts with MinD via its N-terminal anti-MinCD domain to site-specifically counter the action of the MinCD complex. The anti-MinCD domain has been proposed to bind MinD in a helical conformation, however, little is actually known about the structure of

Abstract:
<p> A novel concept to provide position-sensitivity to a microchannel plate (MCP) is described. While several designs exist to make MCPs position sensitive, all these designs are based upon collection of the electrons. In contrast, this approach utilizes an induced signal as the electron cloud emanates from an MCP and passes a wire plane. We demonstrate the validity of the concept by constructing a device that provides single electron detection with 98 &mu;m position resolution (FWHM) over an area of 50 mm &times; 50 mm. The characteristics of the detector are described through both bench-top

Abstract:
<p> We have studied the pyrolysis of aromatic combustion intermediates using an array of detection techniques. The molecules investigated include cyclic aromatic molecules with hydrocarbon substituents (ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, and styrene), oxygen-containing substituents (anisole and phenol), resonance stabilized radicals (benzyl radical and tropyl radical) and phenyl radical. At the exit of a resistively heated micro-reactor (1 mm inner diameter, 3 cm long), the pyrolysis fragments are detected using photoionization mass spectrometry (PIMS), matrix isolation vibrati
