Surface modification of Zero Valent Iron Material for Enhanced Reactivity for Degrading Chlorinated Contaminants in Water

Environmental remediation in areas contaminated with pollutants typically employ iron-based treatment when cleaning pesticides and heavy metals. In this process the addition of a second metal enhances the reactivity of lead. This is because the metal serves as a catalyst, thus reduction can happen much quicker. The issue is that these metals themselves...

RAIDR– A Rapid Method for the Microextraction of O-Glycans

O-glycosylation, a common post-translational modification of serine and threonine residues, regulates biological processes through the direct interactions of glycans with binding proteins. O-glycosylation modulates protein stability, conformation, solubility, and lifespan; however, it has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases,...
