Two of us will be presenting our work: Kanchan Chavan: F02-1336 Nanoconfinement for Multi-Step Reaction Cascade System Yuanchao Liu: L03-2242 Novel Quantification of Cascade Kinetics of Electrostatic Channeling We are … Continue reading
Buffer Calculator
After a long absence, our buffer calculator has finally returned. This new calculator works for phosphate and citrate buffers and calculates the formulation needed to achieve a given pH. It also provides enhanced information on buffer strength, including a titration … Continue reading
Summer Poster Session
Congratulations to Beryl Zhang ’18 who presented her poster, on Enzymatic hydrogel thickness measurements by AFM, at the at the Mid-Michigan Symposium for Undergraduate Research Experiences (Mid-SURE). Beryl helped Alex getting our new AFM-SECM system off the ground, measuring the … Continue reading
Congratulations Professor Gallaway
Congrats to former group member Josh Gallaway who is starting a new tenure-track position in the Dept. of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University. Josh’s research in our group was on redox complexes for mediating enzymatic reactions, but his recent studies … Continue reading
New article on nanofiber bioelectrodes
Former postdoc Cenk Gumeci and Duyen Do have published new work on electrospun nanofiber-based bioelectrodes in Electrocatalysis. Electrospinning allows for the control of fiber diameter and density, and allow for very thin and highly efficient biocatalytic films. Current density reaching … Continue reading
Intermediate Transport at the Nanoscale
A new paper by Erica Earl is available now in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP). In this paper, Erica uses a continuum model to demonstrate the effectiveness of channeling strategies in reaction cascades. She studied proximity, physisorption, and electrostatic interactions, three … Continue reading
Fall Conference Presentations
This Fall, we’ll be presenting our work at PRiME 2016 in October and the AIChE National Meeting in November. Here are the details: PRiME 2016 Y. Liu and S. Calabrese Barton, “Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Substrate Transport on Alpha-Helix Peptide … Continue reading
Congratulations to Erica Earl
Erica defended her MS Thesis this Friday and is heading to Ann Arbor to work for Detroit Edison. Look for a paper based on Erica’s work soon. Congratulations!
