Adenosine 5’-triphosphate: Dephosphorylation promoted by Co(III) complexes and metal ion/polyamine systems
(University of Kansas, 1986-05-31)Three model systems for the metal ion-dependent enzymatic hydrolysis of ATP have been examined. The metal ion/ATP system, La('3+)/ATP, was examined at pH 7.6 and 13. Rapid hydrolysis and formation of pyrophosphate was ... -
Engineering Hydrogels to Tune Mechanical Properties
(University of Kansas, 2014-01-01)Despite widespread use of hydrogels in biomedical devices like soft contact lenses, absorbent products, and other applications, low moduli and brittleness of hydrogels has hindered applications with load bearing requirements. ... -
A novel approach to date continental sediment deposition and paleoclimate events using volcanogenic zircon in paleosols
(University of Kansas, 2021-05-31)The Chronostratigraphy of continental deposits in the absence of discrete ash beds largely relies on maximum depositional ages (MDA) that are interpreted from detrital populations of heavy minerals from sandstones. Mudstones ... -
