Winslow Professor of Chemistry George Shields published an article in the Journal of Computational Chemistry. The article, "First-principle studies of intermolecular and intramolecular catalysis of protonated cocaine," was co-authored with Jaime Skiba '02, Beth Hayes '02, Sarah Tschampel '00, and colleagues at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons and the University of Kentucky. The work, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health, was carried out by Skiba and Hayes during summer research and as part of Tschampel's senior thesis project. The research was completed at the University of Kentucky, and outlines two different pathways for the hydrolysis of cocaine by catalytic antibodies.
