First-Generation is defined that neither parent or guardian has completed a four -year degree. Read more about the program Steve Valentine and Peng Li receives $390,000 from National Science Foundation to develop new methods to study the structure of proteins The project is developing new tools for generating micrometer-sized droplets of varying charge that allow the study of challenging biomolecules in solution using mass spectrometry (MS) techniques Learn more Research from the Milsmann Group was selected for the cover art in Inorganic Chemistry The cover art illustrates the molecular structure of the first iron-carbene complex with a square-planar coordination environment. This geometry induces an unprecedented intermediate-spin configuration for the iron-carbene unit.

Read on NIH website Molecular orientations at interfaces The Goulay Group reports that increased concentrations, preferred orientations, and decreased solvation near the air–water surface may lead to differences in reactivities between surface-active and surface-inactive molecules. Read in J. Phys. Chem. A In droplet hydrogen deuterium exchange The groups of Drs. Valentin e and Li examine the ability ofin-droplethydrogen–deuterium exchange (HDX) to directly probe solution conformerheterogeneity of a protein with mass spectrometry (MS) detection.
