  • Special Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Dr. Masha Elkin

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

    Abstract: The synthesis of natural products is motivated by their potent biological effects, enigmatic biosynthetic origins, and complex molecular structures. Computational tools such as density functional theory and machine learning can provide mechanistic insights and predict reactivity in silico to inform synthetic campaigns. In addition, computational tools and predictive analytics can guide the development and application […]

  • Special Biochem Seminar -Jinfan Wang

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

    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, United States

    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, United States

    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, United States

    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, United States

    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, United States

    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

    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 […]
