Structure Of The Thioredoxin-Like Domain Of Yeast Glutaredoxin 3, Lydia M. Gibson, Nin N. Dingra, Caryn E. Outten, Lukasz Lebioda Aug 2008

Structure Of The Thioredoxin-Like Domain Of Yeast Glutaredoxin 3, Lydia M. Gibson, Nin N. Dingra, Caryn E. Outten, Lukasz Lebioda

Faculty Publications

Yeast glutaredoxin 3 (Grx3) is a cytosolic protein that regulates the activity of the iron-responsive transcriptional activator Aft1. This member of the monothiol glutaredoxin family contains a thioredoxin-like domain and a glutaredoxin-like domain, which both possess a monothiol active site. The crystal structure of the thioredoxin-like domain has been determined at 1.5 Å resolution and represents the first published structure of this domain for the monothiol glutaredoxin family. The loop containing the signature motif WAxxC is partially disordered, indicating a greater degree of flexibility in this region compared with classical dithiol thioredoxins with a WCGPC active-site motif.

Stable Long-Time Semiclassical Description Of Zero-Point Energy In High-Dimensional Molecular Systems, Sophya Garashchuk, Vitaly A. Rassolov Jul 2008

Stable Long-Time Semiclassical Description Of Zero-Point Energy In High-Dimensional Molecular Systems, Sophya Garashchuk, Vitaly A. Rassolov

Faculty Publications

Semiclassical implementation of the quantum trajectory formalism [J. Chem. Phys. 120, 1181 (2004)] is further developed to give a stable long-time description of zero-point energy in anharmonic systems of high dimensionality. The method is based on a numerically cheap linearized quantum force approach; stabilizing terms compensating for the linearization errors are added into the time-evolution equations for the classical and nonclassical components of the momentum operator. The wave function normalization and energy are rigorously conserved. Numerical tests are performed for model systems of up to 40 degrees of freedom.

Changing an ether to a ketone within the framework of a bis-urea macrocycle has little effect on the supramolecular assembly of this building block into porous crystals but introduces a triplet sensitizer into the framework that dramatically alters the photochemical reactions of included guests.

Structural Characterization Using The Multiple Scattering Effects In Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering, Byeongdu Lee, Chieh-Tsung Lo, P. Thiyagarajan, Dong R. Lee, Zhongwei Niu, Qian Wang Oct 2007

Structural Characterization Using The Multiple Scattering Effects In Grazing-Incidence Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering, Byeongdu Lee, Chieh-Tsung Lo, P. Thiyagarajan, Dong R. Lee, Zhongwei Niu, Qian Wang

Faculty Publications

The multiple scattering effects present in grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) data and interference between them are addressed theoretically as well as experimentally with measurement of a series of patterns at different incident angles, referred to as `incident-angle-resolved GISAXS' (IAR-GISAXS). X-ray reflectivity (XR), GISAXS and IAR-GISAXS of virus particles on Si-substrate supported-polystyrene films have been measured and all the data have been analyzed with appropriate formalisms. It was found that under certain conditions it is possible to extract the correct structural features of the materials from the GISAXS/IAR-GISAXS data using the kinematic SAXS formalisms, without the need to use the …

Computation Of Correlation Functions And Wave Function Projections In The Context Of Quantum Trajectory Dynamics, Sophya Garashchuk Apr 2007

Computation Of Correlation Functions And Wave Function Projections In The Context Of Quantum Trajectory Dynamics, Sophya Garashchuk

Faculty Publications

The de Broglie-Bohm formulation of the Schrödinger equation implies conservation of the wave function probability density associated with each quantum trajectory in closed systems. This conservation property greatly simplifies numerical implementations of the quantum trajectory dynamics and increases its accuracy. The reconstruction of a wave function, however, becomes expensive or inaccurate as it requires fitting or interpolation procedures. In this paper we present a method of computing wave packet correlation functions and wave function projections, which typically contain all the desired information about dynamics, without the full knowledge of the wave function by making quadratic expansions of the wave function …

Precision In Imaging Multivariate Optical Computing, Michael N. Simcock, Michael L. Myrick Mar 2007

Precision In Imaging Multivariate Optical Computing, Michael N. Simcock, Michael L. Myrick

Faculty Publications

Multivariate optical computing (MOC) is a method of performing chemical analysis using a multilayer thin-film structure known as a multivariate optical element (MOE). Recently we have been advancing MOC for imaging problems by using an imaging MOE (IMOE) in a normal-incidence geometry and employing normalization by the 1-norm. There are several important differences between the previously described 45° and the normal-incidence imaging, one of which is the measurement precision due to photon counting. We compare this precision to 45° MOC. We also discuss how MOE models with similar values of standard errors of calibration and prediction and similar gain values …

We report herein the characterization and binding properties of a microporous crystalline host formed by the self assembly of a bis-urea macrocycle 1. Bis-urea macrocycle 1 has been designed to crystallize into stacked hollow columns. The self-assembly process is guided primarily by hydrogen bonding and aromatic stacking interactions that yield crystals of filled host 1âacetic acid (AcOH). The AcOH guests are bound in the cylindrical cavities of the crystal. The guest AcOH can be removed by heating to form a stable crystalline apohost 1. Apohost 1 displays a type I gas adsorption isotherm with CO2 that is consistent with …

Semiclassical Nonadiabatic Dynamics Based On Quantum Trajectories For The O(3P,1D)+H2 System, Sophya Garashchuk, Vitaly A. Rassolov, George C. Schatz Jun 2006

Semiclassical Nonadiabatic Dynamics Based On Quantum Trajectories For The O(3P,1D)+H2 System, Sophya Garashchuk, Vitaly A. Rassolov, George C. Schatz

Faculty Publications

The O(3P,1D)+H2→OH+H reaction is studied using trajectory dynamics within the approximate quantum potential approach. Calculations of the wave-packet reaction probabilities are performed for four coupled electronic states for total angular momentum J = 0 using a mixed coordinate/polar representation of the wave function. Semiclassical dynamics is based on a single set of trajectories evolving on an effective potential-energy surface and in the presence of the approximate quantum potential. Population functions associated with each trajectory are computed for each electronic state. The effective surface is a linear combination of the electronic states with the contributions …
