Second-term general chemistry is a key gateway course at our institution for a variety of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) majors. Herein, we examine data on DFW% (i.e., % of D and F grades and withdrawals) in our general chemistry courses over roughly a quarter-century period, focusing on sections taught by the authors. The data are discussed in light of changes in curriculum, pedagogy, and assessments, which included introduction of recitation sections, classroom response systems (clickers), and online homework, restructuring of course content into a modular format, followed by a redesign of the course modules along an anchoring concepts …

Cage compounds have become an important tool for the study of biological processes. The research focuses on new cage compounds that can unmask functional groups present in biologically important molecules such as proteins, peptides, and oligonucleosides. The project focuses on certain functional groups that are often difficult to release photochemically. These are the thiolate groups present in cysteine residues of proteins and peptides. Thiolate groups are fairly basic leaving groups, unlike the more labile groups such as the carboxylates that are present in proteins and peptides, or the phosphate groups present in nucleosides. The research takes advantage of the ability …

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most dangerous diseases in a sense of spread method. According W.H.O., one third of world population has this disease and annual one of these infected people spreads 10 -15 people unintentionally. To protect human from this bacterial, the unique feature of mycrobacterial [sic] TB was studied previously. The unique cell wall, peptidoglycan, has high content of DAP (diaminopimelic acid). The disruption of synthesis DAP results in cell death due to instability of cell wall. One way to inhibiting synthesis of DAP is to modify cofactor which acts with dehydrogenase. To do that the study …
