New Publication: Are the Gas-Phase Structures of Molecular Elephants Enduring or Ephemeral? Results from Time-Dependent, Tandem Ion MobilityNew Publication:

Time-dependent, tandem ion mobility was used to characterize the the kinetic stability of protein ions.

To what extent and on what timescales do the structures of proteins change in the gas phase? We used time-dependent IM-IM-MS and collision-induced unfolding to find out. Congratulations to Ben Zercher, Cece Hong, Addison Roush, and Bruce Feng, whose paper was just published in Analytical Chemistry.

This article was selected for ACS Editors’ Choice, which is a collection designed to feature scientific articles of broad public interest that are made free to readers. One selection is made per day, across all 75+ ACS journals.

Are the Gas-Phase Structures of Molecular Elephants Enduring or Ephemeral? Results from Time-Dependent, Tandem Ion Mobility. Benjamin P. Zercher, Seoyeon Hong, Addison E. Roush, Yuan Feng, Matthew F. Bush. Anal. Chem. 2023, 95, 9589–9597. (Link)

Congratulations to Theresa Gozzo!

Congratulations to Theresa Gozzo, who was selected for the UW Excellence in Teaching Award! This award is given to only two teaching assistants from the entire University of Washington.

Gozzo’s primary goal is to create more productive and positive learning experiences by establishing a classroom where students spend less time struggling alone. In this positive environment, Gozzo fosters each student’s growth as a chemist by sharing her own knowledge of the material, offering encouragement and emphasizing that mistakes are a valuable part of growth.
