Molecular Interactions of Phospholipid Monolayers with a Model Phospholipase

by anicolellis | Apr 2, 2019 | Science Highlight

Reproduced from Soft Matter, 2019, 15, 4068 with permission from The Royal Society of Chemistry. The intrinsic overexpression of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) in various pro-inflammatory diseases and cancers has the potential to be exploited as a therapeutic...

Electrostatic Origin of Element Selectivity during Rare Earth Absorption

by anicolellis | Feb 8, 2019 | Science Highlight

Solvent extraction technique has been widely used in mining and refinement of rare earths. Although all rare earths are chemically similar, the extraction efficiency increases as a function of atomic number. Combining MC simulation and X-ray fluorescence measurements...

Hydrophobic interactions modulate antimicrobial peptoid selectivity towards anionic lipid membranes

by anicolellis | Jan 16, 2019 | Science Highlight

Hydrophobic interactions govern specificity for natural antimicrobial peptides. No such relationship has been established for synthetic peptoids that mimic antimicrobial peptides. Peptoid macrocycles synthesized with five different aromatic groups are investigated...

Thermally Persistent High-Spin Ground States in Octahedral Iron Clusters

by anicolellis | Nov 7, 2018 | Science Highlight

Chemical oxidation and reduction of the all-ferrous (HL)2Fe6 in THF affords isostructural, coordinatively unsaturated clusters of the type [(HL)2Fe6]n: [(HL)2Fe6][BArF24] (1, n = +1; where [BArF24]− = tetrakis[(3,5-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate), [Bu4N][(HL)2Fe6]...

Graduate Students from El Paso, Texas, and Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, Broaden Their Career Vision in X-ray Science

by anicolellis | Jul 2, 2018 | Outreach

In July 2018, NSF’s ChemMatCARS hosted two graduate students under our Graduate Student Research Award at ChemMatCARS (GSRAC) program. Both took away a better sense of the opportunities and realities of x-ray science—and confirmation that they’re on the right path....
