An Engineered Calmodulin-Based Allosteric Switch for Peptide Biosensing
(Wiley Blackwell (John Wiley & Sons), 2013)
This work describes the development of a new platform for allosteric protein engineering that takes advantage of the ability of calmodulin to change conformation upon binding to peptide and protein ligands. The switch we ...
A Witness for Coherent Electronic vs Vibronic-Only Oscillations in Ultrafast Spectroscopy
(American Institute of Physics, 2012)
We report a conceptually straightforward witness that distinguishes coherent electronic oscillations from their vibronic-only counterparts in nonlinear optical spectra of molecular aggregates. Coherent oscillations as a ...
On the Alternatives for Bath Correlators and Spectral Densities from Mixed Quantum-Classical Simulations
(American Institute of Physics, 2012)
We investigate on the procedure of extracting a “spectral density” from mixed QM/MM calculations and employing it in open quantum systems models. In particular, we study the connection between the energy gap correlation ...
Paper-Based Analytical Device for Electrochemical Flow-Injection Analysis of Glucose in Urine
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)
This article describes a new design for a paper-based electrochemical system for flow-injection analysis. Capillary wicking facilitates a gravity-driven flow of buffer solution continuously through paper and nitrocellulose, ...
Global Modeling of Secondary Organic Aerosol Formation from Aromatic Hydrocarbons: High- vs. Low-Yield Pathways
(European Geosciences Union, 2008)
Formation of SOA from the aromatic species toluene, xylene, and, for the first time, benzene, is added to a global chemical transport model. A simple mechanism is presented that accounts for competition between low and ...
Measurement of the Absolute Raman Cross Section of the Optical Phonons in Type Ia Natural Diamond
(Elsevier, 2012)
The absolute Raman cross section \(\sigma_{RS}\)of the first-order \(1332-cm^{−1}\) optical phonons in type Ia natural diamond was measured using 785- and 1064-nm pump lasers for the excitation of Raman scattering. A small ...
Effect of Surfactant Hydrophobicity on the Pathway for Unfolding of Ubiquitin
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)
This paper describes the interaction between ubiquitin (UBI) and three sodium n-alkyl sulfates (SCnS) that have the same charge (Z = −1) but different hydrophobicity (n = 10, 12, or 14). Increasing the hydrophobicity of ...
Statistical Tools for Analyzing Measurements of Charge Transport
(American Chemical Society, 2012)
This paper applies statistical methods to analyze the large, noisy data sets produced in measurements of tunneling current density (J) through self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) in large-area junctions. It describes and ...
Robust Error Correction in Infofuses
(The Royal Society, 2012)
An infofuse is a combustible fuse in which information is encoded through the patterning of metallic salts, with transmission in the optical range simply associated with burning. The constraints, advantages and unique error ...
Elastomeric Origami: Programmable Paper-Elastomer Composites as Pneumatic Actuators
(Wiley-VCH Verlag Berlin, 2012)
The development of soft pneumatic actuators based on composites consisting of elastomers with embedded sheet or fiber structures (e.g., paper or fabric) that are flexible but not extensible is described. On pneumatic ...
