Mechanism-guided discovery of photocontrolled materials and reactions
Abstract: The Kalow lab interrogates and exploits the relationship between molecular reactivity and macroscopic properties to discover polymeric materials relevant to human health and sustainability. We approach “reactivity-property” relationships bidirectionally: in reactivity-directed materials discovery, we use synthesis and physical organic chemistry to tune reactions occurring within polymer networks. In polymer networks composed of reversible covalent […]

Modulating the conformation and function of disease-relevant RNA with small molecules
Abstract: Small molecules offer a unique opportunity to target structural and regulatory elements in therapeutically relevant RNAs, but understanding functional selectivity has been a recurrent challenge in small molecule:RNA recognition. In particular, RNAs tend to be more dynamic and offer less chemical functionality than proteins, and biologically active ligands must compete with the highly abundant […]

“Atomically Precise Nanocrystal Surfaces and Interfaces for Electrocatalysis” Catalysis at surfaces and interfaces where there exists bi- or multi-component cooperation has been identified as crucial for many processes related to energy and environmental applications. In this talk, I will highlight such cooperative catalysis can be synthetically controlled at the surface and interface of atomically precise […]

Chemical Synthesis and Study of Noncanonical Membrane Lipids
Lipid membranes are universal features of living systems, constituting inner and outer barriers of a biological construct and maintaining non-equilibrium states necessary for life. Evolution has produced a fascinating array of lipid structures that dictate the function of biological membranes, and organisms devote considerable energy to the synthesis and maintenance of such compositions. Our group has been studying some of the […]
