Special Biochem Seminar -Jinfan Wang

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Title: How does protein synthesis start in eukaryotes?

Special Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Dr. Alistair Sterling

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Strain is a foundational concept in organic chemistry. Its presence can transform an inert molecule into one with exciting properties, or steer a reaction toward a single product with exquisite control. Understanding—and importantly, predicting—the delicate balance between strain and reactivity will enable the full potential of strain to be harnessed for drug discovery, materials chemistry, […]

Special Biochem Seminar – Alex Guseman

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Title: Targeting Spike Glycans to Inhibit Viral Entry

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Tehshik Yoon

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Prof. Yoon Flyer Stereocontrol in Photochemical Synthesis Abstract: Photochemistry is intriguing as a synthetic tool because the absorption of light by an organic molecule results in the formation of exceptionally energetic reactive intermediates that can react in ways that are inaccessible to ground-state molecules. However, this high reactivity is also a challenge for stereoselective synthesis: […]

Dickerson Biochemistry Seminar Series: Prof. Sarah Keane

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Flyer: Sarah Keane Flyer Title: Structure of pre-miR-31 reveals an active role in Dicer processing Abstract: As an essential post-transcriptional regulator of gene expression, microRNA (miR) levels must be strictly maintained. The biogenesis of many, but not all, miRs is mediated by trans-acting protein partners through a variety of mechanisms, including remodeling of the RNA […]

Physical Chemistry 228: Dr. Milena Jovanovic

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Dr. Jovanovic Flyer Title: "Delocalized Bonding in Extended Systems: From Molecules to Quantum Materials" Abstract: A long list of words attached to extensions of two-center two-electron bonding, such as conjugation, aromaticity, electron-deficient, and electron-rich bonding, testifies to the ubiquity of electron delocalization and its importance in chemistry. Delocalization certainly has consequences – in spectroscopic, ionization, […]

NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Webinar Series: Parisa Mehrkhodavandi

Virtual Event Virtual Event

Title: Cationic indium in catalysis: Generation of functionalized copolymers from commodity monomers Abstract: Cationic indium complexes are rare in the field of catalysis. We have developed families of cationic indium complexes supported by tridentate and tetradentate aminophenolate ligands which show reactivity towards cyclic esters, cyclic ethers, and copolymerizations with CO 2. We show that, depending […]

Special Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Dr. Jose Roque

Young Hall 2033

Modern drug discovery has benefited from advancements in chemical reaction development. For example, C–H functionalization reactions has transformed how synthetic chemists approach the retrosynthetic analysis of bioactive compounds. Despite recent advances, the development of site-selective reactions remains a grand challenge in metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization. Typical retrosynthetic analysis results in simplified fragments by the removal of […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Elena Meirzadeh

Mani L. Bhaumik Centennial Collaboratory 607 Charles E. Young Dr., East, Los Angeles, CA

Flyer: Dr. Elena Meirzadeh Flyer Title: From small molecules to infinite superatomic sheets Abstract: Developing a precise understanding of structure-function relationships in molecular crystals can allow us to generate a wide range of properties from extremely simple building blocks. In the first half of my talk, I will discuss how crystal engineering and defects affect […]
