Flyer: Brandon Jolly and Yi Chen Flyer Speaker: Brandon Jolly Title: Spatial Control in Multi-step, Multi-catalyst Organometallic Processes Abstract: Spatial localization is one method in which biology manages its complex network of multi-step and/or multi-catalyst processes. For example, encapsulation of enzymes via compartmentalization allows for the efficient generation and utilization of intermediate species along a…
