The Effect of Surface Materials and Morphology on Wingsuit Aerodynamics
… textiles and other wingsuit features, like zippers and seams, in morphologies currently used in wingsuit construction.</p> <p>The data collected clearly shows current wingsuit materials and morphologies have a potentially large, usually undesirable effect on flight performance. All woven …

Classification of Toolmark Surfaces on Zipper Teeth
… found that the toolmarks on each side on the 20 zippers were unique and independent of all other sides. The observations made in this study indicate that classifying zipper teeth toolmarks as a subclass characteristic is valid.

Applying engineering principles to the design and construction of transcriptional devices
… dimerization domain. Zinc fingers and leucine zippers offer a potential scalable solution to the challenge of building libraries of transcription-based logic devices for arbitrary information processing in cells.

De Novo Design and Stabilization of β-Sheet Peptides for Biomimicry of ORR Enzymes
… this chapter explores how tryptophan zippers (TrpZip) mediate β-sheet formation through hairpin folds and other tertiary arrangements. Two newly designed peptides, TZ4H and TZ4H-H3AH10D, are synthesized and characterization for these peptides feature the use of circular dichroism (CD), …

Explorations in Sustainable Design: Developing Solutions for Long Lasting Childrenswear
… features, using shirring, snaps, buttons, zippers, loops, pleats, and straps have been employed and tested to identify potential product enhancements. In designing and developing these solutions, I prioritized understanding children’s preferences, aiming to incorporate features that promote …

Computational methods for the analysis of protein structure and function
… for example, small units such as leucine zippers that drive the dimerization of many transcription factors or more complex structures such as the family of viral proteins responsible for virus-host membrane fusion. The coiled-coil structural motif is estimated to account for 5-10% of the …

Expanding the Spiroligomers Toolbox as Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitors
This work presents the application of spiroligomers as inhibitors of protein-protein interactions. After the discovery of an acyl-transfer coupling reaction by Dr. Zachary Brown, a previous graduate student of Schafmeister group, the synthesis of highly functionalized spiroligomers that mimic the …
