The group goes to AIChE

Reid, Alex, Brad, and Samartha went to the AIChE fall meeting in Pittsburgh this week to give talks. The students unfortunately couldn’t track Reid down for a group photo.

Samartha’s paper accepted by JPC B!

Samartha’s paper, entitled “Characterizing the Molecular Mechanisms for Flipping Charged Peptide Flanking Loops Across a Lipid Bilayer,” was accepted by the Journal of Physical Chemistry B – great job, Samartha!

Alex’s paper accepted by JPC C!

Alex’s paper, entitled “Effect of Core Morphology on the Structural Asymmetry of Alkanethiol Monolayer-Protected Gold Nanoparticles,” was accepted by the Journal of Physical Chemistry C – congratulations, Alex!
