Preparation of Novel Catalysts using Ion Soft-Landing

Lead Institution
National Dong Hwa University
Principal Investigator
Wen-Ping Peng
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Soft landing of low energy gas-phase ion beams onto suitable substrates is a powerful preparative technique with many potential applications. Various classes of compounds (e.g. proteins, metal…

High throughput FTICR Strategies for the Molecular Analysis of Cancer

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
David Camp
Project type
Exploratory Research
This human proteome project focuses on the development of a global accurate mass and time (AMT) tag database using cultured human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC). The generation of AMT tag databases…

Laboratory Studies of Atmospheric processing of sea salt.

Lead Institution
University of California, Irvine
Principal Investigator
Barbara Finlayson-Pitts
Project type
Exploratory Research
We propose two different projects: 1. Mechanism of the Reaction of NaCl and NaBr with O3 and OH. Previous studies in our laboratory of the reaction of OH with deliquesced NaCl particles showed…

Stopping power measurements of heavy ions over a wide range of energy

Lead Institution
Universidade de Sao Paulo
Principal Investigator
Roberto Linares

Michael Beversluis
Project type
Exploratory Research
Under intense pulsed laser illumination, gold photoluminesces, showing a wavelength dependence in the visible which depends on the morphology and shape of the gold surface or nanostructure. On the…

Determination of the C-terminus of p110 sEGFR

Lead Institution
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Richard Zangar
Project type
Exploratory Research
A 110 kDa, soluble fragment of the EGFR protein (p110 sEGFR) has been identified as a circulating marker of cancer (Maihle and coworkers, 1998, 1999). The p110 sEGFR is released into the serum as…
