Research Computing and Data Support for the University Community

Welcome to the Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) at the University of Utah. The CHPC is the university community’s home for research computing and data. Our vision is to support the ever-increasing—and increasingly diverse—computing needs of researchers. Whether you’re studying the structure and function of proteins, analyzing patterns in the formation of sea ice, or examining speech in audio recordings, the CHPC is here to help.

Characterizations of tripeptides complexed with Zinc and Cadmium dications IRMPD

Research by Samantha K. Walker1, Brandon C. Stevenson1, Roland M. Jones III1, Giel Berden2, Jos Oomens2, and P. B. Armentrout1

1Department of Chemistry, University of Utah; 2Radboud University, Institute for Molecules and Materials, FELIX Laboratory, Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Samantha K. Walker, Brandon C. Stevenson, Roland M. Jones III, Giel Berden, Jos Oomens, and P. B. Armentrout used ab initio quantum chemical calculations to identify several low-energy isomers and compare with experimentally obtained spectra. The group found that zinc plays a key role in the structure and function of proteins. Additionally, they found that metalated amino acids can be studied in the gas phase to remove solvent–solute interactions.
