Photoisomerization And Relaxation Dynamics Of A Structurally Modified Biomimetic Photoswitch, Adam D. Dunkelberger, Ryan D. Kieda, Jae Yoon Shin, Riccardo Rossi Paccani, Stefania Fusi, Massimo Olivucci, F. Fleming Crim Apr 2012

Photoisomerization And Relaxation Dynamics Of A Structurally Modified Biomimetic Photoswitch, Adam D. Dunkelberger, Ryan D. Kieda, Jae Yoon Shin, Riccardo Rossi Paccani, Stefania Fusi, Massimo Olivucci, F. Fleming Crim

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Recent experimental and theoretical studies on N-alkylated indanylidene pyrroline Schiff bases (NAIP) show that these compounds exhibit biomimetic photoisomerization analogous to that in the chromophore of rhodopsin. The NAIP compounds studied previously isomerize rapidly and often evolve coherently on the ground-electronic surface after reaction. We present the results of transient electronic absorption spectroscopy on dMe-OMe-NAIP, a newly synthesized NAIP analogue that differs from other NAIP compounds in the substituents on its pyrrolinium ring. Following excitation with 400 nm light, dMe-OMe-NAIP relaxes from the electronic-excited state in less than 500 fs, which is slower than in other analogues, and does not …

Photochemistry Of Monochloro Complexes Of Copper(Ii) In Methanol Probed By Ultrafast Transient Absorption Spectroscopy, Andrey S. Mereshchenko, Suman K. Pal, Kanykey E. Karabaeva, Patrick Z. El-Khoury, Alexander N. Tarnovsky Mar 2012

Photochemistry Of Monochloro Complexes Of Copper(Ii) In Methanol Probed By Ultrafast Transient Absorption Spectroscopy, Andrey S. Mereshchenko, Suman K. Pal, Kanykey E. Karabaeva, Patrick Z. El-Khoury, Alexander N. Tarnovsky

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Ultrafast transient absorption spectra in the deep to near UV range (212-384 nm) were measured for the [Cu-II(MeOH)(5)Cl](+) complexes in methanol following 255-nm excitation of the complex into the ligand-to-metal charge-transfer excited state. The electronically excited complex undergoes sub-200 fs radiationless decay, predominantly via back electron transfer, to the hot electronic ground state followed by fast vibrational relaxation on a 0.4-4 Ps time scale. A minor photochemical channel is Cu-Cl bond dissociation, leading to the reduction of copper(H) to copper(I) and the formation of MeOH center dot Cl charge-transfer complexes. The depletion of ground-state [Cu-II(MeOH)(5)Cl](+) perturbs the equilibrium between several …

The C-Zones Framework, John Connolly Feb 2012

The C-Zones Framework, John Connolly

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education

Lifesavers often discuss and analyze rescue and drowning incidents. The C Zones Framework was designed to serve as an aid to such discussions. It is constituted by a number of zones (i.e. C1-concern, C2-crisis, C3-critical, C4-cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), C5-coma, and C6-conclusions) and is simple enough to be easily remembered and quickly drawn on a piece of paper yet sufficiently detailed to be a serious analytical tool. The use of multicolored or different style lines permits the comparison of numerous casualty variations and outcomes on the one framework. The standard framework has a 20 minute time limit describing the progress of …


Comparison Of Sensory, Physiological, Personality, And Cultural Attributes In Regular Spicy Food Users And Non-Users, Mary-Jon Ludy, Richard D. Mattes Feb 2012

Comparison Of Sensory, Physiological, Personality, And Cultural Attributes In Regular Spicy Food Users And Non-Users, Mary-Jon Ludy, Richard D. Mattes

Public and Allied Health Faculty Publications

Some individuals savor spicy foods, while others avoid them. Reasons underlying this range of hedonic responses are unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore the basis for individual differences in preference for spicy foods. Regular spicy food users ( n= 13) and non-users (n= 12) were characterized for selected sensory, physiological, personality, and cultural attributes. Individual differences between users and non-users were primarily related to sensory and cultural attributes (i.e., a higher proportion of users reported consuming spicy foods since childhood and users rated spicy foods as more palatable and were better able to discriminate this burn than …


Manipulating Protein Conformations By Single-Molecule Afm-Fret Nanoscopy, Yufan He, Maolin Lu, Jin Cao, H. Peter Lu Feb 2012

Manipulating Protein Conformations By Single-Molecule Afm-Fret Nanoscopy, Yufan He, Maolin Lu, Jin Cao, H. Peter Lu

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Combining atomic force microscopy and fluorescence resonance energy transfer spectroscopy (AFM-FRET), we have developed a single-molecule AFM-FRET nanoscopy approach capable of effectively pinpointing and mechanically manipulating a targeted dye-labeled single protein in a large sampling area and simultaneously monitoring the conformational changes of the targeted protein by recording single-molecule FRET time trajectories. We have further demonstrated an application of using this nanoscopy on manipulation of single-molecule protein conformation and simultaneous single-molecule FRET measurement of a Cy3-Cy5-labeled kinase enzyme, HPPK (6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase). By analyzing time-resolved FRET trajectories and correlated AFM force pulling curves of the targeted single-molecule enzyme, we are able …


Comprehensive Survey And Geometric Classification Of Base Triples In Rna Structures, Neocles B. Leontis, Amal S. Abu Almakarem, Anton I. Petrov, Jesse Stombaugh, Craig L. Zirbel Feb 2012

Comprehensive Survey And Geometric Classification Of Base Triples In Rna Structures, Neocles B. Leontis, Amal S. Abu Almakarem, Anton I. Petrov, Jesse Stombaugh, Craig L. Zirbel

Chemistry Faculty Publications

Base triples are recurrent clusters of three RNA nucleobases interacting edge-to-edge by hydrogen bonding. We find that the central base in almost all triples forms base pairs with the other two bases of the triple, providing a natural way to geometrically classify base triples. Given 12 geometric base pair families defined by the Leontis-Westhof nomenclature, combinatoric enumeration predicts 108 potential geometric base triple families. We searched representative atomic-resolution RNA 3D structures and found instances of 68 of the 108 predicted base triple families. Model building suggests that some of the remaining 40 families may be unlikely to form for steric …

Construction And Transformation Of A Thermotoga-E. Coli Shuttle Vector, Zhaohui Xu, Dongmei Han, Stephen M. Norris

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background: Thermotoga spp. are attractive candidates for producing biohydrogen, green chemicals, and thermostable enzymes. They may also serve as model systems for understanding life sustainability under hyperthermophilic conditions. A lack of genetic tools has hampered the investigation and application of these organisms. This study aims to develop a genetic transfer system for Thermotoga spp. Results: Methods for preparing and handling Thermotoga solid cultures under aerobic conditions were optimized. A plating efficiency of similar to 50% was achieved when the bacterial cells were embedded in 0.3% Gelrite. A Thermotoga-E. coli shuttle vector pDH10 was constructed using pRQ7, a cryptic mini-plasmid found …


Effects Of Curcumin On Stem-Like Cells In Human Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines, Michael Eric Geusz, Taghreed N. Almanaa, Roudabeh J. Jamasbi Jan 2012

Effects Of Curcumin On Stem-Like Cells In Human Esophageal Squamous Carcinoma Cell Lines, Michael Eric Geusz, Taghreed N. Almanaa, Roudabeh J. Jamasbi

Biological Sciences Faculty Publications

Background: Many cancers contain cell subpopulations that display characteristics of stem cells. Because these cancer stem cells (CSCs) appear to provide resistance to chemo-radiation therapy, development of therapeutic agents that target CSCs is essential. Curcumin is a phytochemical agent that is currently used in clinical trials to test its effectiveness against cancer. However, the effect of curcumin on CSCs is not well established. The current study evaluated curcumin-induced cell death in six cancer cell lines derived from human esophageal squamous cell carcinomas. Moreover, these cell lines and the ones established from cells that survived curcumin treatments were characterized.Methods: Cell loss …
