Professor of Chemistry Nikolaus Loening has published an article on his research, which also features five L&C undergraduate co-authors. This work details the structure of three peptides identified from the venom of the spitting spider (Scytodes thoracica) as well as preliminary attempts to characterize the function of these peptides.
This paper is available online at: The Characterization of Three Venom Peptides from the Spitting Spider Scytodes thoracica.
Chemistry is located in Olin Center on the Undergraduate Campus.
