Our pr incipal focus has been on the ribosomally synthesized and post-translatio nally modified peptides (RiPPs)\, which\, despite being comprised of 50 k nown structural classes\, share a simplified biosynthetic logic and requi re a minimal genomic footprint. This talk will describe the challenges we encountered and insights we gained from large-scale RiPP genome mining. New synthetic biology approaches to accessing new molecules and discoveri ng new enzyme chemistry will be discussed\, as well as ongoing work to de fine the boundaries of nature's biosynthetic capabilities.\n\nTo learn mo re about Prof. Mitchell's research\, please visit: https://mitchell-lab.c hemistry.illinois.edu/index.html\n\nSeminar Host: Prof. Emily Derbyshire DURATION:PT1H30M DTSTAMP:20241115T185552Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241119T114000 LAST-MODIFIED:20241115T185552Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Prof. Doug Mitchell "Genomics-Enabl ed Discovery of New Molecules & Enzymes" UID:CAL-8a001f8e-90a1d5f4-0190-e575a9bc-00003debdemobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-STUDENT-CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-EMAIL=chem-office@duke.edu:Che mistry Department X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Doug Mitchell\, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:16 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:530 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:369.3333333333333 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:530 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:353.3333333333333 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:Doug Mitchell from research webpage X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:cconti for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistr y) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/Mitchell_20240724035651PM.png X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/Mitchell_20240724035651PM-thumb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=00f1fcdb-0f068baf-010f-068baf83-00000004:None CREATED:20241002T194633Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Prof. David Min h (Illinois Institute of Technology) on Tuesday\, November 26\, 2024 for a departmental seminar.

My research group has recently made significant progress in bind ing pose\, affinity\, and signaling efficacy prediction. Based on a stati stical mechanics framework that I derived\, we have developed a method th at exploits multiple rigid protein conformations to quickly compute prote in-ligand binding poses and free energies. For a series of 58 ligands fro m a drug lead optimization campaign against the SARS-CoV-2 main protease\ , the method achieves a Pearson R of 0.52 and RMSE of 1.24 kcal/mol in co mparison to experiment. In what could be a significant breakthrough in GP CR signaling\, we have also developed a computational method that combine s molecular simulation and machine learning to model structural mechanism s of activation and calculate the signaling efficacy along multiple pathw ays. It computes the signaling efficacy of G protein signaling along mult iple subtypes and of arrestin recruitment for a diverse set of mu opioid receptor and cannabinoid receptor 2 ligands with a mean absolute error of less than 20%. I am excited about opportunities to further validate thes e technologies and apply them to accelerating the discovery of safe and e ffective therapeutics to improve the human condition.\n\nSeminar Host: Pr of.

In this talk\, I will first present the deve lopment of Tryptophan-selective bioconjugation chemistry (Trp-CLiC). By i ntegrating this precise chemistry with chemoproteomic methods\, we uncove red that Tryptophan-involved cation-π interactions regulate protein-media ted phase separation processes and are associated with cancer. I will the n highlight the recent advancement of a condensation-enhanced photo-cross linking strategy (DenseMAP) for direct protein interactome mapping within subcellular and subcompartmental condensates. Using DenseMAP\, we profil ed the proteome organization and dynamics of the nucleolar granular compo nent and revealed the critical role of SUMOylation in maintaining nucleol ar homeostasis. Together\, these projects demonstrate how innovations in chemical approaches can decipher molecular codes\, including interactions \, components\, and modifications\, that regulate biomolecular

The chief source for CLs\, h owever\, remains natural sources\, constraining medicinal chemists to sem i-synthetic modifications and limiting deeper biological studies. The fir st part of the talk will describe a de novo synthetic approach inspired b y Nature's biosynthetic blueprints toward CLs. By leveraging designer pho toredox catalysts\, a highly selective\, convergent\, and modular [3+2] d ipolar cycloaddition was developed\, providing access to a key intermedia te that was advanced to all eight CLs. The developed synthetic approach p rovides efficient access to CL analogs\, enabling structure-activity rela tionship studies and library synthesis for biological testing.\n\nThe sec ond part of the talk will describe efforts in repurposing and evolving na tural heme proteins into biocatalysts capable of catalyzing new-to-nature nitrene transfer reactions. Specifically\, the development of enantiodiv ergent enzymes that allow access to L- and D-noncanonical amino acids\, c ritical in developing modern therapeutics\, will be described. The discov ery of enantiodivergent enzymes was facilitated by creating a high-throug hput experimentation workflow that connected sequence-activity-selectivit y data\, enabling the identification of highly active and selective enzym es. I will close by sharing our discovery that nitrene transferases could process abiotic boronic acids into their corresponding amines through a stereospecific 1\, 2-metallate shift mechanism. This finding opens new op portunities in biocatalysis by demonstrating that boronic acids\, commonl y used as precursors in transition-metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactio ns\, can play a similar role with metalloenzymes.\n\nTo learn more about Dr. Alfonzo\, please visit: https://www.asbmb.org/asbmb-today/people/0508 24/mosaic-scholar-explores-enzymes\n\nSeminar hosted by Prof. Matthew Bec ker DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20250204T160031Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250213T114500 LAST-MODIFIED:20250204T160031Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Dr. Edwin Alfonzo: "Biomimetic Stra tegies for Lignan Synthesis and New-to-Nature Nitrene Transfer Reactions" UID:CAL-8a000483-92c3adf6-0194-d1b11ab9-00003240demobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Dr. Edwin Alfonzo\, Caltech X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-STUDENT-CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-EMAIL=c.conti@duke.edu:Departm ent of Chemistry X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:50 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:800 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:583.3333333333334 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:800 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:533.3333333333334 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:Researcher with dark hair sits outside in a ligh t blue striped button down shirt X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:cconti for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistr y) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/High Res Image of EA_20250204040032PM.jpg X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/High Res Image of EA_20250204040032P M-thumb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=00f1fcdb-0f068baf-010f-068baf83-00000004:None CREATED:20250204T160654Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Dr. Samantha Ha rvey (University of Washington) on Monday\, February 17\, 2025 for a depa rtmental seminar.\n\n"Form and Function: Understanding and Controlling Pr ocesses at the Nanoscale Through Synthesis and Spectroscopy"\n\nAt the na noscale\, magnetic\, optical\, electronic\, and thermal processes can dif fer drastically from their bulk counterparts. These deviations stem from reduced crystalline domains\, large surface areas\, and quantum confineme nt\, leading to physical and chemical properties intricately dependent on size\, morphology\, and ligand identity as opposed to purely composition al structure. This remarkable tunability\, combined with their solution p rocessability\, positions colloidal nanocrystals as promising candidates for applications including photovoltaics\, catalysis\, spintronics\, and quantum-based technologies. However\, before we can input these materials into devices we need to understand and control the fundamental processes governing their formation and function.\n \nIn this talk I will share th ree short stories about how shrinking materials to the nanoscale can impa ct their properties in constructive (and destructive) ways. I'll begin by covering my most recent work on the synthesis of ferrimagnetic CuCr2Se4 nanocrystals and how their nanoscale form enables unique redox and cation exchange chemistry. The second story explores how the surfaces of CuInSe 2 nanocrystals\, and the ligands that terminate them\, can have drastic e ffects on carrier dynamics and heat dissipation.

A significant challenge i n chemistry and biology has been the development of artificial systems th at can effectively mimic the functions of these enzymes. First\, I will d iscuss the synthesis of a metal-organic framework with site-isolated iron (II) centers in a coordination environment resembling the active site of taurine-α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase. This framework activates dioxygen at low temperatures to form high-spin iron(IV)=O species\, which were chara cterized using various spectroscopic methods. In the presence of dioxygen \, the framework is competent for catalytic oxygenation of cyclohexane an d the stoichiometric conversion of ethane to ethanol. To further explore enzyme-like catalysis beyond porous materials\, I will also discuss the d e novo design of protein catalysts for nonbiological reactions. By carefu lly considering reaction mechanisms and protein biophysics\, we successfu lly designed proteins incorporating synthetic porphyrins and hemes for as ymmetric catalysis\, achieving excellent enantiomeric ratios and total tu rnover numbers. These findings demonstrate that efficient de novo protein catalysts can be designed and hold great potential for a wide range of c hemical processes.\n\nSeminar hosted by Prof. Matthew Becker DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20250219T231152Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250220T120000 LAST-MODIFIED:20250219T231152Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Dr. Kaipeng Hou: "Artificial Enzyme s: From Porous Materials to De Novo Protein Catalysts" UID:CAL-8a000483-92c3adf6-0194-d1bd9f1a-000034eedemobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-STUDENT-CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-EMAIL=c.conti@duke.edu:Departm ent of Chemistry X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Dr. Kaipeng Hou\, University of California San Francisc o X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:26 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:700 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:492.6666666666667 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:700 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:466.6666666666667 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:Researcher with dark hair and glasses stands in a blue suit with a maroon striped tie X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:cconti for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistr y) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/Hou_Kaipeng3_20250204042844PM.jpg X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/Hou_Kaipeng3_20250204042844PM-thumb. png X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-WEBCAST:https://duke.zoom.us/j/92955824600 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=00f1fcdb-0f068baf-010f-068baf83-00000004:None CREATED:20241002T195126Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Prof. Andrés Mo ntoya-Castillo (University of Colorado Boulder) on Tuesday\, February 25\ , 2025 for a departmental seminar.

However\, histidine itself is susceptible to oxidative modifications via post-translational modifications\, photo-oxidation\, an d metal-catalyzed oxidation. Despite multiple investigations into these d ifferent oxidation systems\, the varied attributions and differential out comes point to significant gaps in our understanding of the coordination requirements\, spectral features\, and reaction products that accompany C u-catalyzed oxidation of histidine-containing peptides. Here\, we use bio logically-relevant model peptides that have histidine-containing Cu-bindi ng sites to explore the reactions of histidine residues and Cu under redu cing and oxidizing conditions. Characterization of the Histatin-5 family of peptides via LC-MS\, MS/MS\, UV-vis\, and NMR revealed adjacent histid ine residues of the bis-His site are the main target of Cu-catalyzed oxid ation\, with predominant modifications being 2-oxo-His and His-His crossl inks that give rise to distinctive electronic absorption features between 300-400 nm. Stopped-flow experiments revealed reaction intermediates tha t indicate the ATCUN and bis-His motifs present in Histatin-5 model pepti des determine the mechanism by which the peptide will become oxidized. Re ductive or oxidative conditions initiating Cu-catalyzed oxidation also de termine the reaction rate and variety of oxidative modifications produced . The scope of Cu-catalyzed oxidation was expanded to biologically-releva nt peptides TESHHK and Amyloid Beta\, although some reactivity guidelines established by the Histatin family could not be replicated for these pep tides\, proving that the coordination requirements to enable reactivity a re more nuanced than previously thought. Finally\, progress was made towa rds the synthesis of a protected 2-oxo-His residue to be incorporated int o peptides via solid phase peptide synthesis. Together\, this work define d reactivity requirements\, mechanistic paths\, and resulting structures for histidine-rich peptides subjected to Cu-catalyzed oxidation\, and pro vides a path to study the functional ramifications of oxidative modificat ion.

Replicating Lipid Membranes in Synthetic Cell s\n\nLipid membranes in cells are fluid structures that undergo constant synthesis\, remodeling\, fission\, and fusion. The dynamic nature of lipi d membranes enables their use as adaptive compartments\, making them indi spensable for all life on Earth. Efforts to create life-like artificial c ells will likely involve mimicking the structure and function of lipid me mbranes to recapitulate fundamental cellular processes such as growth\, t ransport\, and signal transduction. As such\, there is considerable inter est in chemistry that mimics the functional properties of membranes\, wit h the express intent of recapitulating cellular phenomena while also prov iding clues to how life might have originated. I will present recent effo rts from our lab to mimic some of the remarkable dynamic properties of li ving membranes. Leveraging the ability of small amphiphilic molecules to react with one another rapidly and selectively in aqueous environments\, our laboratory has developed methods for the abiotic synthesis of membran e-forming lipids from basic starting materials. These reactions occur spo ntaneously in water\, driving lipid self-assembly and the formation of ce ll-like membranes. While initial investigations from our laboratory prima rily yielded non-natural lipid analogs\, our recent efforts have shifted towards the development of methodologies for synthesizing membranes compo sed of lipids identical to those naturally occurring in biological system s. I will also discuss work aiming to recapitulate lipid metabolic proces ses\, but in the absence of any protein enzymes. Finally\, I will introdu ce recent efforts to develop primitive lipid replicators that can drive p rotocell reproduction.\n\n\nTo learn more about Professor Neal Devaraj (U CSD) research\, please visit: https://www.devarajgroup.com/\n\nSeminar ho sted by Prof. Qui Wang DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20251006T211943Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251007T114000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251006T211943Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Professor Neal Devaraj (UCSD): Maki ng\, Breaking\, and Replicating Lipid Membranes in Synthetic Cells UID:CAL-8a00ec8b-979413b9-0199-33f73e42-00001b92demobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Professor Neal Devaraj (UCSD) X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:265 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:85 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:1630 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:995 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:1365 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:910 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:ND X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:bsg25 for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistry ) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/Admin Office Slides (12)_20250910021104PM .png X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/Admin Office Slides (12)_2025091002 1104PM-thumb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=8a00048d-91324965-0191-a3b9f64b-0000517b:Grissom\, Brisa CREATED:20250910T141826Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Professor Sijia Dong (Northeastern University) on Tuesday\, October 28\, 2025 for a depa rtmental seminar. \n\nPhotoenzymes are emerging protein-based photocataly sts that are repurposed from natural enzymes for non-natural reactions di fficult for small-molecule catalysts. They exhibit extraordinary selectiv ity\, scalability\, and tunability\, and offer a promising new toolbox fo r solar to chemical energy conversion and chemical synthesis. However\, t he understanding and design of photoenzymes pose several challenges. Firs t\, accurate first-principles simulations of the electronic structure of macromolecules are usually computationally expensive\, especially those t hat involve strong electron correlation. In this talk\, I will discuss ou r computational strategies\, including data-driven methods and quantum co mputing\, particularly quantum annealing\, to tackle this challenge. Seco nd\, existing enzyme design strategies do not consider electronic excited states\, and photoenzyme engineering has mainly relied on directed evolu tion. I will discuss our work on physics-informed computational photoenzy me design\, where we combine physics-based simulations and data-driven me thods to demonstrate that microenvironment tuning is a promising design s trategy for photoenzymes and other macromolecular photocatalysts. \n\nTo learn more about Prof. Sijia Dong (Northeastern University) research\, pl ease visit: https://cos.northeastern.edu/people/sijia-dong/\n\nSeminar ho sted by Prof. David Beratan DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20251007T173250Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251028T114000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T173250Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Professor Sijia Dong (Northeastern University)Computational Strategies for Photoenzyme Design: Physics-Based Simulations\, Data-Driven Approaches\, and Quantum Computing UID:CAL-8a00ec8b-979413b9-0199-33fdfba9-00001d71demobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Professor Sijia Dong (Northeastern University) X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:95 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:731 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:582.3333333333333 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:731 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:487.33333333333326 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:SD X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:bsg25 for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistry ) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/1632439034693_20250910021826PM.jpeg X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/1632439034693_20250910021826PM-thumb .png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=8a00048d-91324965-0191-a3b9f64b-0000517b:Grissom\, Brisa CREATED:20250911T201033Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Professor Chris topher Newton (University of Georgia) on Tuesday\, November 4\, 2025 for a departmental seminar. \n\nDesign and Application of New Pericyclic Stra tegies \nThe overarching theme of our research program concerns the devel opment of new and general pericyclic strategies that enable e8icient acce ss to complex cyclic frameworks of biological importance. A hallmark of o ur approach is the design of atypical cycloaddition reaction partners tha t are at a high oxidation level (i.e.\, large degree of heteroatom incorp oration and/or unsaturation) in order to confer unique reactivity\, while also minimizing the need for redox manipulations post cycloaddition. A s ignificant challenge within this area is the development of methods that remain operationally friendly\, for highly unsaturated heteroatom-rich mo lecules often exhibit challenging stability profiles. Generally speaking\ , our approaches leverage fundamental structure and reactivity studies to inform the optimization of our proposed reaction partners in order to ga in kinetic stability without sacrificing desired reactivity. Once we have developed a new methodology\, our focus pivots toward applications in ta rget-oriented synthesis\, typically merging our abiotic pericyclic method ologies with bioinspired cascades.\n\nTo learn more about Prof. Christoph er Newton (University of Georgia) research\, please visit: https://www.ch em.uga.edu/directory/people/christopher-newton\n\nSeminar hosted by Prof. Qiu Wang DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20251021T133707Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251104T114000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251021T133707Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Professor Christopher Newton (Unive rsity of Georgia) Design and Application of New Pericyclic Strategies UID:CAL-8a00ec8b-979413b9-0199-3a66b783-00005b3bdemobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Professor Christopher Newton (University of Georgia) X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:231 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:78 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:1623 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:1006 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:1392 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:928 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:CN X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:bsg25 for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistry ) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/Admin Office Slides (14)_20250911081033PM .png X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/Admin Office Slides (14)_2025091108 1033PM-thumb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=8a00048d-91324965-0191-a3b9f64b-0000517b:Grissom\, Brisa CREATED:20250911T160841Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to host Professor Conno r Bischak University of Utah on Thursday November 6\, 2025\, for a depart mental seminar. \n\nStatic semiconductors\, like silicon\, powered the fi rst century of semiconductor technology\, but emerging frontiers now dema nd dynamic\, adaptable semiconductors.

Together\, these efforts reveal how chemistry shapes biolo gy and point toward new ways of developing therapeutics.\n\nTo learn more about Prof. Xiaoyu Zhang research\, please visit: https://zhanglabnu.com /research/\n\nSeminar hosted by Prof. Evert Njomen DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20260115T162934Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260210T114000 LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T162934Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Professor Xiaoyu Zhang (Northwester n Uninversity) Targeted Protein Control: From Mechanistic Insights to The rapeutic Strategies UID:CAL-8a00ec8b-979413b9-019a-743580a7-00005bebdemobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Professor Xiaoyu Zhang X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:3000 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:2000 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:3000 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:2000 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:XZ X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:bsg25 for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistry ) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/zhang-xiaoyu_20251111063638PM.jpg X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/zhang-xiaoyu_20251111063638PM-thumb. png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=8a00048d-91324965-0191-a3b9f64b-0000517b:Grissom\, Brisa CREATED:20251212T201648Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to Professor Kyoung-Shi n Choi (University of Wisconsin-Madison) on Tuesday\, March 3\, 2025 for a departmental seminar. \n\nTo learn more about Prof. Kyoung-Shin Choi (U niversity of Wisconsin-Madison) research\, please visit: https://choi.che m.wisc.edu/\nSeminar hosted by Prof. Ivan A Moreno-Hernandez DURATION:PT1H DTSTAMP:20251212T201648Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260303T114000 LAST-MODIFIED:20251212T201648Z LOCATION;X-BEDEWORK-UID=18832edc-1b27e154-011b-28282e22-00000037:French Fa mily Science Center 2237 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Chemistry Seminar Presented by Professor Kyoung-Shin Choi (Univers ity of Wisconsin–Madison) UID:CAL-8a00eca5-9af98aae-019b-14358072-00006e34demobedework@mysite.edu X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Main:/user/public-user/Utili ties/Main X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Lecture_Talk:/user/public-us er/Lectures_Conferences/Lecture_Talk X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Natural Sciences:/user/publi c-user/Topics/Natural Sciences X-BEDEWORK-ALIAS;X-BEDEWORK-PARAM-DISPLAYNAME=Research:/user/public-user/T opics/Research X-BEDEWORK-SPEAKER:Professor Kyoung-Shin Choi (University of Wisconsin–Mad ison) X-BEDEWORK-DUKE-SERIES:Chemistry Seminar Series X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X1:154 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y1:0 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-X2:1774 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-Y2:1080 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-WIDTH:1620 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-CROP-HEIGHT:1080 X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE-ALT-TEXT:KS X-BEDEWORK-SUBMITTEDBY:bsg25 for Chemistry (agrp_ArtsandSciences_Chemistry ) X-BEDEWORK-IMAGE:/public/Images/Admin Office Slides (20)_20251212081648PM .png X-BEDEWORK-THUMB-IMAGE:/public/Images/Admin Office Slides (20)_2025121208 1648PM-thumb.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CATEGORIES:Natural Sciences CATEGORIES:Lectures/Conferences CATEGORIES:Utilities CATEGORIES:Lecture/Talk CATEGORIES:Research CATEGORIES:Main CONTACT;X-BEDEWORK-UID=8a00048d-91324965-0191-a3b9f64b-0000517b:Grissom\, Brisa CREATED:20251212T204419Z DESCRIPTION:The Department of Chemistry is excited to Prof. Caryn Outten (U.

This approach treats specified nuclei\, typically protons\, quantum mechanically on the same level as the electrons with mu lticomponent density functional theory (DFT) or wavefunction methods\, su ch as coupled-cluster and multireference approaches. Nuclear delocalizati on and anharmonic zero-point energy are inherently included in energy cal culations\, geometry optimizations\, reaction paths\, and dynamics. The N EO approach also provides accurate descriptions of excited electronic\, v ibrational\, and vibronic states\, as well as nuclear tunneling and nonad iabatic dynamics. The real-time NEO methods enable nonequilibrium nuclear -electronic quantum dynamics simulations beyond the Born-Oppenheimer appr oximation for investigating thermal and photoexcited chemical reactions. NEO calculations can be performed in implicit or explicit solvent\, prote ins\, or periodic solids. This talk will present foundational and recentl y developed NEO methods as well as chemical applications. The application s will include pKa calculations\, quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical free energy simulations of enzyme reactions\, photoinduced proton transf er\, high-pressure superconducting hydrides and ice\, and polaritonic and plasmonic chemistry.\n\nWe look forward to hosting Prof. Hammes-Schiffer .
