Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Dolores Bozovic
Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Dolores Bozovic
Prof. Bozovic Flyer Title: Physics of the Auditory System Abstract: Hair cells of the auditory system constitute a remarkable biological sensor that exhibits nanometer-scale sensitivity of mechanical detection. Our experiments explore the active nonlinear processes behind the detection of very weak signals. We demonstrate the presence of chaos in the innate motility of active bundles, and […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Zachary Wickens
Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Zachary Wickens
Prof. Wickens Flyer Selective Synthesis via Light and Electricity Abstract: We are investigating how organic radical ions–typically thought of as fleeting intermediates–can be tamed and exploited as a new family of organocatalysts and small molecule reagents. We identified selective generation of such species as a key hurdle stymying exploration these electronically-destabilized systems. To address this […]

Flyer: Zhipeng Lu Flyer Title: What does RNA look like in cells? Structures, interactions and modifications. Abstract: RNA in living cells are in constant motion, form dynamic structures, and interact with many molecules, including other RNAs. Direct determination of RNA structures and interactions in vivo is essential to understanding their functions, and developing new RNA-based […]

NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Webinar Series: Frank A. Leibfarth
NSF Center for Integrated Catalysis Webinar Series: Frank A. Leibfarth
Title: Stereoselective Cationic Polymerization of Prochiral Monomers Abstract: The stereochemistry of vinyl polymers, known as polymer tacticity, is intimately linked to their resultant material properties. Despite the well-developed stereoselective methods for the polymerization of propylene and other nonpolar -olefins, general approaches to the stereoselective polymerization of polar vinyl monomers are not well developed. In this […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Nicholas Ball
Prof Ball Flyer Unlocking Fluorine: Activation of Sulfur(VI) Fluorides for New Sulfur-Fluorine Exchange (SuFEx) Reactions Abstract: Sulfur-fluoride exchange (SuFEx) chemistry is emerging as a promising synthetic tool in chemical biology, material science, and synthetic chemistry. In synthesis, sulfur (VI) fluorides show unique promise as synthons in organic chemistry due their stability versus other sulfur (VI) […]

Title: Exploiting Abasic Site Chemistry to Decipher Mitochondrial Genome Biology Abstract: Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes 37 essential genes and plays a critical role in mitochondrial and cellular functions. Compared to nuclear DNA (nDNA), mtDNA is more susceptible to chemical modifications by endogenous and exogenous factors partly due to its proximity to the oxidative phosphorylation […]

Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Anton Van der Ven
Prof Van der Ven Flyer Title: From Electronic Structure to Battery Thermodynamics and Kinetics Abstract: Most electrochemical processes can be modeled with powerful phenomenological theories that describe ion transport, interface reactions and mechanical responses. Phenomenological descriptions, however, rely on materials specific coefficients and free energies, which are quantities that are often difficult to measure in […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Wei Liu
Prof Liu Flyer Copper-Catalyzed Coupling Reactions: Mechanism, Catalysis, and Applications in Life Sciences Abstract: Owing to their many attractive characteristics, copper catalysts represent appealing alternatives to precious metal catalysts, although various limitations remain in copper-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Recently, we and others recognized that copper catalysis presents a powerful strategy to functionalize sp3 hybridized carbon radicals […]

Jeffrey I. Zink Inorganic Chemistry Seminar Series: Seth Cohen
Flyer: Prof. Seth Cohen Flyer Title: Exploring MOF-Polymer Hybrid Materials Abstract: Hybrid materials of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and polymers have gained interest as processible composites that might be suitable for a wide range of applications. A number of approaches have been pursued to create MOF-polymer composites, including mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs) prepared with MOFs, polymer-decorated MOF […]

Special Physical Chemistry Seminar 228: Jörg Enderlein
Enderlein Flyer Updated Title: Metal and Graphene Induced Energy Transfer Abstract: Metal-Induced Energy Transfer (MIET) Imaging is a recently developed method that allows for nanometer resolution along the optical axis. It is based on the fact that, when placing a fluorescent molecule close to a metal, its fluorescence properties change dramatically, due to electromagnetic coupling […]

Houk-Jung Organic Colloquium 247: Emily Balskus
Balskus Flyer Title: Deciphering the Human Microbiome with Chemistry Abstract: The human body is colonized by trillions of microorganisms that exert a profound influence on human biology, in part by providing functional capabilities that extend beyond those of host cells. In particular, there is growing evidence linking chemical processes carried out by the human gut […]

Biochemistry Seminar Series – Prof. Lillian Fritz-Laylin
Lillian Fritz-Laylin Flyer Title: The evolution and specification of the cytoskeletal networks Abstract: Cells physically manipulate their environments; swimming through liquids, crawling across surfaces, and actively ingesting objects large and small. Inside eukaryotic cells lies a seething mass of cytoplasm through which thousands of different objects are pushed and pulled to specific cellular locations. These […]

Knobler Lecture: Vinothan Manoharan
Prof Manoharan Knobler Lecture Flyer Title: The Self-Assembly of Simple RNA Viruses Abstract: Self-assembly is the process by which molecules or particles spontaneously form ordered structures, driven by interactions and thermal fluctuations. The term "self-assembly" was originally coined to describe the formation of simple RNA viruses, which consist of RNA and coat proteins that form […]
