CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Engineering Interactions Among Condensed Phases of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins” (Zhihui Su)

Abstract: Proteins containing intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) can undergo multivalent interactions that promote phase separation to form mesoscale condensates that function as membraneless organelles. As subcellular compartments, condensates hold promise […]

CBE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Designing Solvent-Based Order Parameters for Characterizing Binding of Surfaces with Different Hydrophobicity Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations” (Jun Lu)

Abstract: Life is dependent on water: most self-assembly and binding processes of biomolecules take place in water. Water-mediated interactions are an essential driving force behind these processes, which is largely […]

MSE Doctoral Dissertation Defense: “Polymer Infiltrated Nanoporous Gold: Kinetics and Optical Properties of Novel Polymer Nanocomposites” (Weiwei Kong)

Abstract: One of the biggest challenges in the field of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) is to disperse high nanofiller loadings into the polymeric matrix. The high loading and uniform dispersion are […]
