Martin Jr., Darrell Wayne (2016-08-04)Hydrogen has received widespread attention as a potential energy carrier due to its high energy content and clean combustion product H2O. [FeFe]-H2ases exhibit the highest H2 production rates utilizing a complex iron sulfur ...
-
Elrod, Lindy Chase (2021-08-18)Enzymes have evolved to perform specific functions with high efficiency and selectivity. It is estimated that approximately a quarter to a third of all proteins contain an essential metallic cofactor that enables catalysis ...
-
Zhang, Fuwu (2015-08-01)The development of nanoscale drug delivery systems is a rapidly growing field within the realm of nanomedicine, as it has the potential to improve therapeutic efficacy and minimize side effects of various drugs. This ...
