  • CANCELLED! Chem 228: Steven Schwartz

    “Rare Event Sampling, Protein Dynamics in enzymatic catalysis and directed evolution: lessons in artificial enzyme design”

  • Chem 228: Professor Wei Xiong, UCSD

    Ultrafast Dynamics of Molecular Vibrational Polaritons For Chemistry and Quantum Simulation Molecular vibrational polaritons are hybrid half-light, half-matter quasiparticle. This hybrid quasiparticles not only inherit properties of both photons and matters, but also processes unique new photonic and molecular phenomena, including tilting chemical potential landscapes of reactions, adding new energy transfer pathways and strong photonic […]

  • Combining Synthetic Chemistry and Biology for Streamlining Access to Complex Molecules

    Abstract: By virtue of their unrivaled selectivity profiles, enzymes possess remarkable potential to address unsolved challenges in chemical synthesis. The realization of this potential, however, has only recently gained traction. Recent advances in enzyme engineering and genome mining have provided a powerful platform for identifying and optimizing enzymatic transformations for synthetic applications and allowed us […]

  • NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Webinar Series

    The NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis is delighted to announce that it will be hosting a monthly webinar series. The next webinar of this series will be held on Tuesday, February 1st, 2022 at 10:30 AM. We are pleased to invite all students, postdocs, faculty, and staff.

  • Physical Chemistry Seminar: Dr. Daniel Straus, Princeton University

    Structural Surprises in Inorganic and Molecular Materials Even in some of the most heavily studied materials, a careful structural analysis can solve stubborn mysteries. The first part of my talk focuses on cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3), an inorganic halide perovskite of interest for solar energy conversion that is unstable at room temperature. I use X-ray […]

  • New Base-Promoted Reductive and Oxidative Coupling Reactions

    Abstract: Base-catalyzed reactions typically accomplish redox neutral transformations, such as the addition of pronucleophiles to electrophiles. Our group is developing mechanistic platforms for base-promoted reductive and oxidative coupling reactions to expand the capabilities of basic chemistry. This talk will discuss the development and synthetic potential of these processes in the context of two methodologies. This […]

  • Chem 268 – Nicholas Graham

    "Identifying and decoding the function of the post-translational modifications arginine methylation and phosphorylation with proteomics"

  • Dr. Vida Jamali – Postdoctoral Researcher, Alivisatos lab, University of California Berkeley

    Imaging, Learning, and Engineering of Soft Matter Systems at the Nanoscale The motion and dynamics of nanoparticles and macromolecules in bulk and at interfaces is of fundamental importance in physics, chemistry, and biology. Liquid phase transmission electron microscopy (LPTEM) is an emerging technique which enables nanoscale visualization of the motion and dynamics of single nanoparticles […]
