A magnetohydrodynamic loading technique was used to shocklessly compress beryllium to peak longitudinal stresses of 19–110 GPa and, subsequently, unload in order to determine both the compressive response and also the shear stress supported upon release. Loading strain rates were on the order of 106 s−1, while the unl…

A strong denaturant, guanidinium hydrochloride (GdnHCl), is shown to delay and alter the inherent aggregation pathway of bovine serum albumin (BSA) from a downhill polymerization to a nucleated polymerization. We hypothesize that such an alteration is closely connected to the conformational population of the protein,…

Herein, we describe the surface modification of an S-nitrosated polymer derivative via H2O plasma treatment, resulting in polymer coatings that maintained their nitric oxide (NO) releasing capabilities, but exhibited dramatic changes in surface wettability. The poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-based hydrophobic polymer w…

BACKGROUND: Plant cell walls are complex structures that full-fill many diverse functions during plant growth and development. It is therefore not surprising that thousands of gene products are involved in cell wall synthesis and maintenance. However, functional association for the majority of these gene products rema…
