Senior Chemistry Major

Research Times

Mon: 10AM-12PM + 6-8PM

Proposed Research Project

Investigating the metabolism of acetaminophen modeled by an enzymatic, single-electron oxidation using HRP and to investigate the chemical properties of the primary products.

Project Title

Characterization and Analysis of Acetaminophen Metabolites

General Information

Advisor: Dr. Bradley E. Sturgeon

Proposal

Determine chemical properties of previously isolated primary acetaminophen oxidation products using cyclic voltammetry and ESR spectroscopy.

Instruments to be used

HPLC, Flash Chromotography System, NMR, Immobilized Enzyme column, ESR
