The structural transition between two alternate conformations of bistable RNAs has been characterized by time-resolved NMR spectroscopy. The mechanism, kinetics, and thermodynamics underlying the global structural transition of bistable RNAs were delineate ...
The surface and bulk structure of various poly-(lactic acid) (PLA) films were examined by vibrational sum frequency generation (VSFG). In contrast to linear infrared spectroscopy, the VSFG spectra show significantly different characteristics in the CH stre ...
We report here infrared spectra of protonated and lithiated valine with varying degrees of hydration in the gas phase and interpret them with the help of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31++G** level. In both the protonated and lithiated species, our resul ...
We describe the first case of efavirenz-induced urolithiasis in a 47-year-old HIV-positive patient. Urinary obstruction led to pyelonephritis and septic shock, requiring emergency ureteral catheterisation. The subsequent clinical course was favourable, all ...
The rapid and complete characterization of chemical reaction mechanisms is of the utmost importance in terms of chemical understanding, safety and efficiency. In this presentation a new small volume reaction calorimeter (25-45mL) is described. With this re ...
Previous state-selected spectra of methanol in the 5ν1 OH stretch overtone region [O. V. Boyarkin, T. R. Rizzo, and D. S. Perry, J. Chem. Phys. 110 (23), 11346 (1999)] revealed structure indicating intramolecular vibrational redistribution (IVR) on three t ...
We report here a new method to obtain electronic spectra of biomolecular ions that are produced in the gas phase by electrospray and cooled to ~10K in a 22-pole ion trap, and we demonstrate this technique by applying it to protonated tryptophan and tyrosin ...
We present in this work a new technique, which combines laser photofragmentation spectroscopy with tandem mass spectrometry, for structural investigations of biomolecular ions in the gas phase. A novel apparatus was designed and built for the implementatio ...
A combined synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and infrared spectroscopy study of the pressure-induced changes in H3BO3 to 10 GPa revealed a new high-pressure phase transition between 1 and 2 GPa followed by chemical decomposition into cubic H ...
We investigate the phase behavior of surface-functionalized silica colloids at both the molecular and macroscopic levels. This investigation allows us to relate collective properties such as aggregation, gelation, and aging directly to molecular interfacia ...
