Simulations of chemical and biological reactions of reactive oxygen species in cellular mechanism
Used computational modeling to solve biologically relevant differential equations.
The effect of microparticles (MPs) on Nitric Oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilation with and without intravascular flow on rat mesenteries in myograph
Conducted on single arteriole blood vessels examining vasodilation.
Plasma NO-scavenging activity
Examined NO-scavenging activity of plasma derived from various ages of banked blood on a NO analyzer
Simulations of NO uptake by red blood cells (RBC) and by MPs derived from red cells
Confirmed extracellular diffusion of NO limits NO uptake rate and discovered microparticle encapsulated Hemoglobin (MP-HbA) reduce NO bioactivity significantly on a COMSOL model
Stopped-flow absorption measurements of NO uptake by red blood cells under oxygenated and deoxygenated conditions with a viscous or non-viscous buffer
Demonstrated the viscosity of the buffer had a substantial effect on external diffusion using millisecond-resolved kinetics
Kinetics of Nitric Oxide reactivity with MP-HbA
Discovered MP-HbA scavenges NO 2.5 to 3 times slower than free HbA but 1000 times faster than RBC-HbA by using fast time-resolved flash photolysis technique
