Determining Bond Strengths And Dissociation Dynamics Of Diatomic Metal-Containing Ions By Photofragment Imaging, Schuyler P. Lockwood
Determining Bond Strengths And Dissociation Dynamics Of Diatomic Metal-Containing Ions By Photofragment Imaging, Schuyler P. Lockwood
Doctoral Dissertations
Studies of simple metal ion – ligand complexes have primarily focused on understanding their roles in activating C-H and C-C bonds. However, data are often lacking on the fundamental properties of these species, which can have unusual bond orders and cluttered electronic structures with many states of multi-reference character, complicating their treatment in theoretical studies. Experimental work determining high-precision bond energies, ground state identities and excited state dynamics of a wider variety of metal-containing ions is needed to establish a robust set of well-characterized benchmark molecules. This work describes studies of the energetics and dynamics of several MX+ species, …

Structural Dynamics Of A Thermally Stressed Monoclonal Antibody Characterized By Temperature-Dependent H/D Exchange Mass Spectrometry., Nastaran N Tajoddin, Lars Konermann
Chemistry Publications
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a standard tool for probing the resilience of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and other protein therapeutics against thermal degradation. Unfortunately, DSC usually only provides insights into global unfolding, although sequential steps are sometimes discernible for multidomain proteins. Temperature-dependent hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) mass spectrometry (MS) has the potential to probe heat-induced events at a much greater level of detail. We recently proposed a strategy to deconvolute temperature-dependent HDX data into contributions from local dynamics, global unfolding/refolding, as well as chemical labeling. However, that strategy was validated only for a small protein (Tajoddin, N. N.; Konermann, L.
Cysteine Metallochemistry And Metal Binding: Quantification Of The Thermodynamic Foundations Of Cellular Homeostasis, Matthew R. Mehlenbacher
Cysteine Metallochemistry And Metal Binding: Quantification Of The Thermodynamic Foundations Of Cellular Homeostasis, Matthew R. Mehlenbacher
Dartmouth College Ph.D Dissertations
Metals are required for life. Many metalloproteins contain cysteine in their metal-binding site (MBS) and cysteines are unique in that they are reactive, and strongly bind certain metals, which aid in metal selectivity and specificity. Using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), the thermodynamic foundation for metal binding, cellular protection, and transcriptional regulation, which all utilize cysteines in their MBS, are quantified.
In bacteria there are metalloprotein pathways that actively uptake mercury, which are regulated by the metalloregulatory protein MerR. MerR de-represses the transcription of these mer proteins in a metal-dependent manner. Using ITC, the thermodynamic foundation of the negative allosteric coupling …

Characterization Of Small Molecules And Ions By Atmospheric Pressure Ionization-Mass Spectrometry, Maleesha De Silva
Theses and Dissertations
Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a widely used technique for the characterization of a wide range of substances in diverse fields. The selection of appropriate ionization techniques, source parameters, charge carriers based on the analyte’s polarity is essential in MS as only the ions are detected. When using a soft ionization technique, single stage-MS at best provides only chemical composition; thus, tandem MS is needed to determine structural information and dissociation pathways. This dissertation focuses on the characterization of various small molecules and ions using different ionization techniques, charge carriers, and collision-induced dissociation (CID).

Honors Program Theses and Projects
In addition to content knowledge, critical and independent thinking, scientific reasoning, and problem-solving skills are essential in preparing next generation of successful workforce. Since one of the biggest advantages of STEM disciplines is a “must-have” hands-on laboratory experience, it is intuitive to exploit this learning space to reinforce afore-mentioned skills. In this context, project-based (PBL) or inquiry-based (IBL) laboratory experiences are rapidly becoming mainstream pedagogical choice for many STEM instructors across United States.[1-4] PBL, and IBL are learning experiences that offer students an opportunity to experience realistic scientific process of discovery through carefully designed inquiry-driven and/or open-ended investigative laboratory …
Can CP Be Less Than CV?, Yingbin Ge, Samuel L. Montgomery, Gabriel L. Borrello
Can CP Be Less Than CV?, Yingbin Ge, Samuel L. Montgomery, Gabriel L. Borrello
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences
Can CP be less than CV? This is a fundamental question in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering. This question hangs in the minds of many students, instructors, and researchers. The first instinct is to answer “Yes, for water between 0 and 4 °C” if one knows that water expands as temperature decreases in this temperature range. The same question is asked in several Physical Chemistry and Physics textbooks. Students are supposed to answer that water contracts when heated at below 4 °C in an isobaric process. Because work is done to the contracting water, less …
Thermodynamics Of Ligand Binding And Global Structural Stability Of Human Serum Albumin, Matthew Walter Eskew
Thermodynamics Of Ligand Binding And Global Structural Stability Of Human Serum Albumin, Matthew Walter Eskew
Dissertations and Theses
Protein structure is integral to its function. For the past 70 years differential scanning calorimetry has been used to measure protein structural stability. More recently it has been used to study macromolecular interactions. Interactions between proteins and ligands can manifest on differential scanning calorimetry melting curves or thermograms. Utilizing differential scanning calorimetry thermograms to detect or diagnose diseases has been a major goal in disease diagnostics. However, correlating specific ligand-protein interactions, as manifested in a thermogram, with a disease-specific plasma thermogram, has proven elusive.
Modified human serum albumin was utilized to develop a process to capture and retrieve ligands from …

Probing The Effects Of Heterogeneous Oxidative Modifications On The Stability Of Cytochrome, Victor Yin, Lars Konermann
Chemistry Publications
Covalent modifications by reactive oxygen species can modulate the function and stability of proteins. Thermal unfolding experiments in solution are a standard tool for probing oxidation-induced stability changes. Complementary to such solution investigations, the stability of electrosprayed protein ions can be assessed in the gas phase by collision-induced unfolding (CIU) and ion-mobility spectrometry. A question that remains to be explored is whether oxidation-induced stability alterations in solution are mirrored by the CIU behavior of gaseous protein ions. Here, we address this question using chloramine-T-oxidized cytochrome c (CT-cyt c) as a model system. CT-cyt c comprises various proteoforms that have …

Predicting The Hydration Free Energy Of Small Alkanes And Alcohols From Custom, Electronic Structure-Based Force Fields, T. Ryan Rogers
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Mathematical theories reveal the fundamental physics involved in experimentalphenomena. Computer models of such theories are routinely used to corroborate or explain experiments and predict properties of chemical systems. Therefore, an important effort in computational chemistry is the development of more accurate and efficient chemical models. Current-generation models are only beginning to approach experimental-quality predictions of hydration free energies (HFEs).Using computations of quantum mechanical (QM) forces and classical simulations based on these forces, I investigate models to predict several properties of solutes and solutions. This dissertation is a collection of projects exemplifying methods used to gain insight into chemical systems.

For several decades, the study and development of colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots (QD), has become a rich field heralding improved integration into applications ranging from photovoltaics and photocatalysis to biomedical imaging and drug delivery. CdxSey is the most extensively studied QD system, however numerous compositional details still confound the nanocrystal field. Although CdSe QDs with native ligand coatings can show high fluorescence quantum yield and may be suitable for some applications, often times these original ligand layers are comprised of long aliphatic chains that preclude incorporation into biological matrices or severely impede charge transfer – depending on the …

Why Protein Conformers In Molecular Dynamics Simulations Differ From Their Crystal Structures: A Thermodynamic Insight, Fi̇li̇ppo Pullara, Mao Wenzhi, Mert Gür
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Conformers generally deviate structurally from their starting X-ray crystal structures early in molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Studies have recognized such structural differences and attempted to provide an explanation for and justify the necessity of MD equilibrations. However, a detailed explanation based on fundamental physics and validation on a large ensemble of protein structures is still missing. Here we provide the first thermodynamic insights into the radically different thermodynamic conditions of crystallization solutions and conventional MD simulations. Crystallization solution conditions can lead to nonphysiologically high ion concentrations, low temperatures, and crystal packing with strong specific protein--protein interactions, not present under physiological …
Inequality, Rubber, And Thermodynamics In Indonesia, Ernest M. Oleksy
Inequality, Rubber, And Thermodynamics In Indonesia, Ernest M. Oleksy
The Downtown Review
Intersectionality has led the charge in ensuring that workplace justice is assured to all people, irrespective of their identities. While intersectionality is a useful theory for explaining inequality, what must not be understated is the contributions that postcolonialism and the blue-collar working identity can have on harsh working conditions. Particularly, miners in Indonesia have had to work in very hostile environments where they are at-risk for sulfur poisoning as they mine for materials to vulcanize rubber. This article serves two purposes. The first is to call attention to how place can help explain the differential experiences of miners in the …

Mechanistic Insights Into The Reaction Of Chlorination Of Tryptophan Catalyzed By Tryptophan 7-Halogenase., Tatyana Karabencheva-Christova, Juan Torras, Adrian J Mulholland, Alessio Lodola, Christo Christov
Michigan Tech Publications
Tryptophan 7-halogenase catalyzes chlorination of free tryptophan to 7-chlorotryptophan, which is the first step in the antibiotic pyrrolnitrin biosynthesis. Many biologically and pharmaceutically active natural products contain chlorine and thus, an understanding of the mechanism of its introduction into organic molecules is important. Whilst enzyme-catalyzed chlorination is accomplished with ease, it remains a difficult task for the chemists. Therefore, utilizing enzymes in the synthesis of chlorinated organic compounds is important, and providing atomistic mechanistic insights about the reaction mechanism of tryptophan 7-halogenase is vital and timely. In this work, we examined a mechanism for the reaction of tryptophan chlorination, performed …

Remediation Of Trivalent And Hexavalent Chromium Ions From Aqueous Solutions Using Titanium Dioxide Polymorphs, Yvette Cantu
Theses and Dissertations
Three titanium dioxide (TiO2) polymorphs were synthesized and used for the removal of chromium (III) and chromium (VI) from aqueous solutions. Various solution parameters were studied to determine the effects of pH, temperature, time, possible interfering ions, and capacities on the binding of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) to all three polymorphs. pH assays determined the optimum pH for the binding of both Cr(III) and Cr(VI) to each polymorph. Adsorption isotherms determined that the adsorption of Cr(III) was non-spontaneous for the three polymorphs with ΔG values ranging from 6.03 to 12.89 kJ/mol. Furthermore, the binding of Cr(VI) to anatase was also non-spontaneous …

Stability And Kinetics Of Dna Pseudoknots: Formation Of T∗A•T Base-Triplets And Their Targeting Reactions, Calliste Steffensmeier
Theses & Dissertations
Pseudoknots have been found to play important roles in the biology of RNA. These stem-loop motifs are considered to be very compact and the targeting of their loops with complementary strands is accompanied with lower favorable free energy terms. We used a combination of spectroscopic (UV, CD and fluorescence), calorimetric (DSC, PPC and ITC) and kinetic (SPR) techniques to investigate: 1) Local base-triplet formation in pseudoknots; 2) energetic contributions for the association of pseudoknots with their complementary strands; and 3) the kinetic rates as a function of targeting strand length.
We investigated a set of DNA pseudoknots with sequence: d(TCTCT …

Application Of An Ionic Liquid Column To The Analysis Of Flavor And Fragrance Ingredients, Nicole L. Curto
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
Traditional, polar (polyethylene glycol/wax) stationary phase gas chromatography columns pose challenges for flavor and fragrance analysis particularly in regards to thermal instability at high temperatures, degradation when exposed to water, unchanging selectivity, and relatively short shelf lives. Recently, capillary columns using ionic liquids as stationary phases have become available. Ionic liquid columns offer a potential combination of high polarity and high temperature stability with unique selectivity. An in depth discussion about the history and development of column phase characterization, with specific emphasis on selectivity and polarity, will allow for a critical look at the polarity scale currently employed to characterize …

Thermodynamics Of Short Chain Perfluoroalkanes Adsorbed On The Surfaces Of The Graphite Basal Plane And Mgo (100), Nathaniel Keenan Bass
Doctoral Dissertations
Molecular adsorption of short-chain linear perfluoroalkanes was studied by volumetric isotherm and by molecular dynamics simulation. Isotherms of perfluoroethane, perfluoropropane, and perfluorobutane gas were measured on clean surfaces of the graphite basal plane nanometer-scale cubic magnesium oxide (100). Each system was measured over a range of temperatures, and thermodynamic determinations of the entropies, enthalpies, and heats of adsorption were determined as a result. Potential phase transitions between the surface structures were identified, and the constant-coverage heats of adsorption for each system were determined. Comparisons to molecular dynamics simulations provided guidance in the assignment of phase diagrams, giving insights to the …
