Tuning the Thermochemistry and Reactivity of a Series of Cu-Based 4H+/4e– Electron-Coupled-Proton Buffers

ACS Inorganic Chemistry

This work involves synthesis and characterization of a series of Cu-based 4H+/4e– electron-coupled-proton buffers (Cu-ECPBs) with a range of thermochemical analysis - for potential use in energy devices and catalysis.

A Chemical Model of a TET Enzyme for Selective Oxidation of Hydroxymethyl Cytosine to Formyl Cytosine

ACS Inorganic Chemistry

This is a study of an iron based transition metal complex (Fe-TAML) that somewhat mimics TET enzymatic activity - potentially useful for studying rare epigenetic markers and drug desugn.
