The equilibrium and non-equilibrium behavior of several mutants of the small single-domain protein ubiquitin have been characterized, with an eye towards describing the early folding events. These events have been interrogated ...

Aminoacyl tRNA-synthetases (AARS) are housekeeping enzymes that are tasked with accurate synthesis of aminoacylated tRNA for protein synthesis and other cellular functions. The specificity of amino acid attachment challenges ...

Ultra-high vacuum surface techniques are used to determine the effect of substituents (mainly fluorine) on the surface chemistry of several adsorbate-metal systems. In the first system, the effect of two substituent groups ...

The compounds (mu-H)2Os3(CO)9L catalyze the polymerization of diazomethane. The nature of L has a strong effect on the rate of the polymerization. The rate constants for the compounds are as follows: L = CO 1.3 (2) min-1, ...

A detailed and interesting picture of what controls the electron transfer between the two iron ions in the mixed-valence 1',6'-disubstituted biferrocene cation is emerging. The x-ray structures of diiodo-, dichloro-, and ...

Rhodium diphosphine alkoxo alkene complexes were synthesized by the addition of unsaturated alcohols to rhodium diphosphine silylamido complexes at -78 °C. The alkoxo alkene complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy ...

Solutions of 10-S-5 methylsulfurane oxides in CD$\sb3$OD undergo deuterium exchange at the equatorial S-CH$\sb3$. The rate of deuteration for the CH$\sb3$-substituted methylsulfurane oxide is 86,000 times faster than for ...
