Keto–Enol Tautomerization of Acetylacetone in Mixed Solvents by NMR Spectroscopy
Keto–enol tautomerism is a fundamental concept that examines the migration of a proton between two constitutional isomers, the keto and enol tautomer. Many experiments have been proposed to understand the concept behind Meyer’s Rule, which states…
On the Differential Roles of Mg2+, Zn2+, and Cu2+ in the Equilibrium of β-N-Methyl-Amino-L-Alanine (BMAA) and its Carbamates
β-N-methyl-amino-L-alanine (BMAA) in the presence of bicarbonate (HCO3−) undergoes structural modifications generating two carbamate species, α-carbamate and β-carbamate forms of BMAA. The chemical structure of BMAA and BMAA-carbamate adducts…
Learning chemistry nomenclature: Comparing the use of an electronic game versus a study guide approach
Learning how to name chemical compounds is a critical feature of chemistry that many students often find challenging. Naming compounds requires both an understanding of the conventions and language of chemistry. Common strategies used to improve…
Impact of graph technologies in K-12 science and mathematics education
Graph technologies are now widely available in K-12 science and mathematics classrooms. These technologies have the potential to impact the learning of science and mathematics, especially by supporting student investigations. We use meta-analysis to…
Role of a noncanonical disulfide bond in the stability, affinity, and flexibility of a VHH specific for the Listeria virulence factor InlB
A distinguishing feature of camel (Camelus dromedarius) VHH domains are noncanonical disulfide bonds between CDR1 and CDR3. The disulfide bond may provide an evolutionary advantage, as one of the cysteines in the bond is germline encoded. It has been…
