Valerie Kokai, a junior chemistry major from Wexford, and Dr. Helen Boylan, assistant professor of chemistry, recently presented their research at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Philadelphia.
ÌýKokai presented a poster, "Exploring Athermal Effects of Microwaves on Enzymes" at the undergraduate poster session.Ìý She had worked with Dr. Boylan during the spring and summer doing research on this topic.
Ìý"We did an investigation comparing a conventionally heated enzyme using a water bath to a microwave heated enzyme," Boylan said. "This research was inspired by the controversial effects of wireless communication devices which emit frequencies in the microwave region.Ìý Results from our study on the enzyme system catalase suggested that there was no difference between heating methods, however, other studies have demonstrated a differential heating effect."
ÌýBoylan also gave a presentation, "Realizing the Potential of Microwaves in the Academic Lab," for the Division of Chemical Education.Ìý
