Responsive Molecular Assemblies

美国国家科学基金会化学系的分析和表面化学计划将支持路易斯安那州立大学罗宾·麦卡利教授的研究计划。麦卡利教授和他的学生计划研究如何制备具有刺激响应性的脂质体，使其能够输送由于脂质体失稳而内化在脂质体中的分子。他们将研究化学还原剂和酶打开脂质体的机制和动力学。该项目可能会对专注于环境修复、化学分析和药物输送的各种行业产生重大影响。该项目将在一个高度多学科的研究领域为研究生和本科生提供极好的培训机会。它还将支持麦卡利教授和他的学生参加路易斯安那州董事会针对K-12学生的“讲科学”计划，以及路易斯安那州立大学的ChemDemo K-12推广计划，该计划已经影响了60,000名路易斯安那州的学生。

The Analytical and Surface Chemistry Program of the Division of Chemistry at NSF will support the research program of Prof. Robin McCarley of Louisiana State University. Prof. McCarley and his students plan to investigate how to prepare stimuli responsive liposomes with the capability to deliver molecules that are internalized in the liposomes as a result of liposome destabilization. They will investigate the mechanism and kinetics associated with liposome opening by chemical reducing agents and enzymes. The project could have significant impact on various industries that focus on environmental remediation, chemical analysis and drug delivery. The project will provide excellent training opportunities to graduate and undergraduate students in a highly multidisciplinary research area. It will also support the participation of Prof. McCarley and his students in the Louisiana Board of Regents "Speaking of Science" program for K-12 students and in the LSU's ChemDemo K-12 outreach program, which has already impacted 60,000 Louisiana students.
