ANYL 197 |
| Ted Williams' excitement with and commitment to chemical research were infectious from the time he came to the College of Wooster in 1959. He inspired me and a number of my classmates, as well as generations of undergraduates thereafter, to become chemists as a result of formal laboratory courses he taught and research projects that we/they carried out in his laboratory. How a faculty member continues to find projects that will be interesting to and doable by undergraduates, and be of a quality that can produce publishable results is a long-term challenge. Metalloporphyrins, their spectroscopic properties and axial ligation reactions have provided a number of projects in this investigator's laboratories, but site-directed mutagenesis, protein expression, purification and characterization can also be viable and successful projects, if the necessary infrastructure is available. Examples of published or in progress research carried out mainly by undergraduates in my laboratories will be discussed. |
