Summary
With support from the Chemical Structure, Dynamics, and Mechanisms-A (CSDM-A) Program in the Division of Chemistry, Ursula Mazur and Kerry Hipps of Washington State University and Bhaskar Chilukuri of Illinois State University are exploring cooperative binding events using highly sensitive imaging and computational methods. Chemical processes such as chemical reactivity and detection sensitivity depend on cooperativity. Studying these cooperative interactions requires both surface techniques that are capable of single molecule detection and computational tools for quantifying the degree of int
