  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Steven Schwartz

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

    Prof Schwartz Flyer Title: Rare Event Sampling, Protein Dynamics in Enzymatic Catalysis and Directed Evolution: Lessons in Artificial Enzyme Design Abstract: Remarkably, after many decades of study, the way enzymes so magnificently catalyze chemical reactions is still a matter of significant debate. In addition, artificial protein catalyst design has proven elusive. Years ago, we proposed […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Andrew Roberts

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

    Andrew Roberts Flyer Title: Chemical Strategies for Breaking and Making Carbon–Nitrogen Bonds Abstract: C-N bond breaking: Amines are ubiquitous functional groups that are simple to prepare and functionalize. We show that tertiary amines can template reductive cyclization reactions, forming biaryl and bibenzyl carbon–carbon bonds. These cyclic amine products can undergo carbon–carbon bond-forming amine rearrangement and […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminary 228: Stephan Link

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

    Prof. Link Flyer Title: Insights from Single Particle Spectroscopy of Plasmonic Nanostructures Abstract: A surface plasmon in a metal nanoparticle is the coherent oscillation of the conduction band electrons leading to both absorption and scattering as well as strong local electromagnetic fields. These fundamental properties have been exploited in many different ways, including surface enhanced […]

  • Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Eszter Boros

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

    Flyer: Prof. Eszter Boros Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Capture, Excite, Release: Towards the Development of the Next Generation of Metal-based Medicines Abstract: Stable and radioactive metal ions possess attractive properties for biomedical imaging and therapy. Our lab applies a cross-disciplinary approach that combines physical inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, chemical biology […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Robert Grubbs

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

    Robert Grubbs Flyer Title: Investigating Aldehydes and Ketones as Monomers for Sustainable Polymers Abstract: Chain polymerization of carbonyl compounds results in polymers with acetal linkages in the backbone that have potential as degradable or recyclable materials. The wide variety of aldehydes and ketones that occur naturally or through sustainable transformations of naturally occurring compounds suggests […]

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Davit Potoyan

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

    Prof Potoyan Flyer Title: Multi-Scale Computational Studies of Biomolecular Dynamics and Phase Separation Abstract: Cellular life is contingent on the ability of biomolecules to self-organize by forming dynamic and functional compartments. Uncovering the underlying driving forces for biomolecular self-organization is a long-standing fundamental problem for biological sciences. Experiments of the last decade have found that […]

  • The Chem Cell Press Lecture: Cathleen Crudden

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

    Flyer: Prof. Cathleen Crudden Flyer Meet the Speaker: 11:30 a.m., YH 3096 Title: Metal catalysts, clusters and surfaces: Cross coupling chemistry and the use of NHCs to form monolayers on surfaces and clusters Abstract: The use of N-heterocyclic carbenes to modify homogeneous metal catalysts is widespread since the high metal–NHC bond strength renders high oxidative […]

  • Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Brett Fors

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

    Brett Fors Flyer Title: Controlling Polymer Structure in Cationic and Radical Polymerizations Abstract: Synthetic polymers are significant importance in all aspects of modern life, and during the last few decades, these materials have facilitated major societal advances. Innovative polymeric materials have the potential to address humankind’s next grand scientific and technological challenges; however, taking advantage […]
