The manuscript describes the reactivity of a 2′-deoxycytidine nucleobase radical produced as a result of oxidative stress. The radical initiates DNA electron transfer and abstracts hydrogen atoms in DNA to […]

This manuscript reports the first X-ray crystal structure of an organic fluoronium cation, thus providing an ultimate proof of its debated existence.  In addition to the crystal structure as the […]

Xinxing (Colin) Zhang, a former graduate student in Kit Bowen’s research group and presently a Professor at Nankai University in China, is among several young investigators to win this special […]

The manuscript reports the discovery of spontaneous bidirectional, bilayer twisting of the Co kagomé lattice in MgCo6Ge6 and explores the interlayer bonding interactions to identify the driving force behind this […]

Rigoberto Hernandez, Gompf Family Professor, published an article that was featured in three different journals about his path as a Cuban American chemist. “A Cuban Campesino in Chemistry’s Academic Court” […]

Alex Nickon, a long time chemistry professor at JHU passed away in March 2021 at the age of 94 a victim of the COVID pandemic. Alex arrived at Hopkins in 1955 […]

Stephen Fried’s lab developed a mass spectrometry-based approach to probe protein folding on the proteome-scale. In this experiment, Philip To and coworkers unfolded and refolded E. coli extracts, probed the resulting […]

Newly formed at JHU, the Ralph O’Connor Sustainable Energy Institute (ROSEI) serves as an interdisciplinary home for current research and education in renewable energy, stewardship in fuel technologies, and affordable […]

The manuscript describes the discovery of a potent covalent inhibitor of DNA polymerase beta (Pol beta) that is selective for the enzyme in cells. The inhibitor functions by modifying a […]
