Juan Del Valle, Notre Dame

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Juan Del Valle, Notre Dame TBBC 4630 (4th floor Thatcher) Mimicry and modulation of neurodegenerative protein misfolds by Juan Del Valle, Notre Dame Abstract: The pathologic phenotype of several neurodegenerative disorders is the presence of amyloid deposits in the brain. Filaments composed of b-sheet protein assemblies can spread in a prion-like fashion, templating the conformation-specific misfolding of soluble monomers. In principle, modulating amyloidogenic protein-protein interactions is possible through mimicry of aggregation-prone β-strands. However, the design of stable and soluble β-sheet peptides remains a considerable challenge, where progress lags far behind α-helix and turn/loop mimicry. Here, we describe efforts toward backbone oxidized peptides and sidechain stapled macrocycles that potentiate the form and function of tau folds associated with disease. The impact of specific chemical modifications on b-strand, sheet, and arch stability… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC). Contact Phone: 8015817241.

High Energy/Astrophysics - Searching For Superheavy Decaying Particles With Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Observatories - Kim Berghaus (Caltech) - CSC 206 - 4:00PM

Physics & Astronomy "Searching For Superheavy Decaying Particles With Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Observatories" Kim Berghaus, Caltech, Hosted by Gustavo Marques-Tavares, Zoom information, if attending remotely: https://utah.zoom.us/s/86320794577 Passcode: 469599  "Searching For Superheavy Decaying Particles With Ultra-High-Energy Neutrino Observatories" Abstract: If there exist unstable relics from the early universe, their decays could produce detectable fluxes of gamma rays and neutrinos. The decays of superheavy particles, m_χ ≳ 10^10 GeV, would produce an enhanced flux of ultra-high-energy from muon and pion pair production which take place in the resulting electromagnetic cascades. These processes transfer energy from electromagnetic decay products into neutrinos, relaxing the constraints that can be derived from gamma-ray observations, and increasing the sensitivity of high-energy neutrino telescopes to superheavy particle decays. Taking this effect into account, I will present new constraints on long-lived superheavy… Campus Locations: Crocker Science Center (CSC). Room Name/Number: CSC 206. Campus Wide Event: Yes.

Similarly, our recent research into the isomerization of tau identified a striking correlation with cognitive decline, but only for AD and not other related forms of neurodegeneration and with no direct connection to Aβ. These results forced us to reconsider how these interactors might be connected. The initial key involved recognition that the microtubule binding domains of tau share high homology with Aβ suggesting that Aβ could potentially serve as a tau mimic and impede the binding of tau to… Event Categories: Seminars.

Despite the structural diversity enabled by modern advances in polymer synthesis, greater than 60% of world plastic production remains dominated by polyolefins. These high-volume, low-cost engineering thermoplastics are made from a small sub-set of petroleum derived monomers and demonstrate diverse thermomechanical properties, attractive chemical resistance, and excellent processability. Creating sustainable materials that compete with the performance and value proposition of polyolefinsis a grand challenge for the field of polymer science. The goal of research in the Leibfarth group is to control develop synthetic methods that transform… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC).

Zachary Wickens, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Zachary Wickens, University of Wisconsin-Madison TBBC 4630 (4th floor Thatcher) Selective synthesis with light and electricityby Zachary Wickens, University of Wisconsin-Madison Abstract: This seminar will describe our investigations into 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 development of these systems. To address this problem, we have leveraged electrochemistry and photochemistry to develop new synthetic transformations driven by organic radical ions. Electrochemistry offers not only an environmentally benign approach to promote redox events but also substantially simplifies the study of these unusual systems by enabling the exclusion of byproducts from oxidation or reductive generation of the key radical ion promoters.

Chemistry-Seminars Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Joey Cotruvo, Penn State University TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher In-Person Seminar Unearthing the lanthanome for rare-earth separations by Joey Cotruvo, Penn State University Abstract: Rare earth elements - comprising the lanthanides, yttrium, and scandium - are considered by the U.S. government to be especially critical minerals for technology and national security, in part because they are among the most difficult metals to separate and purify from one another. An essential biological role of lanthanides has been appreciated for just 15 years, since the discovery that certain lanthanides are specifically incorporated into the methanol dehydrogenase enzymes of ubiquitous bacteria called methylotrophs. In this talk, I will describe my group's efforts to understand how these bacteria selectively uptake, sort and traffic lanthanides. I will also show how we have leveraged this understanding to develop biomolecular technologies for recovery and separation of… Event Categories: Seminars.

Allison Walker, Vanderbilt University

Chemistry-Seminars Organic Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Allison Walker, Vanderbilt University In-person seminar TBBC 4630 4th floor Thatcher Machine learning strategies for natural product discovery and biosynthesis by Allison Walker, Vanderbilt University  Abstract: Natural products play an important role in drug discovery. However, they are often discovered serendipitously and there is a lack of tools that enable prioritization of organisms that are likely to produce active and structurally novel compounds. In addition, natural products often need to be modified in order to be developed as therapeutics, but total synthesis of natural products is challenging. My lab aims to develop AI-guided genome mining techniques to enable the discovery of natural products with therapeutically-relevant bioactivities and the engineering of biosynthetic machinery to produce new natural product-like compounds. In this presentation, I will discuss my group’s recent progress in these areas. Biography: Allison Walker,… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC).

A fundamental understanding of how they interact with proteins is essential for advances in biological and biomedical sciences. However, two central and fundamental questions remain elusive: (1) how does the protein environment modulate the pathway, dynamics, and quantum yields of the non-adiabatic reactions of the chromophores? (2) how do the non-adiabatic reactions induce structural changes in the protein? Molecular simulation is indispensable to answering these questions because it can resolve the energetics and kinetics of chemical reactions at atomic-level detail, which is often beyond the limit of current exp… Event Categories: Seminars.

Ann Wuttig, University of Chicago

Chemistry-Seminars Analytical Chemistry Seminar at the University of Utah with Ann Wuttig, University of Chicago In-person seminar 4630 TBBC 4th floor Thatcher Electrocatalytic Synthesis with Interfacial Control by Ann Wuttig, University of Chicago Abstract: Chemical synthesis driven by electricity offers a scalable, decentralized, and energy-efficient route to furnish value-added products – from fuels to complex molecules. Maximizing reaction efficiency and durability requires immobilized catalytic active sites on electrodes, resulting in dispersed and non-uniform sites. This heterogeneity challenges iterative optimization of reactivity through traditional catalyst modifications, which rely on uniform, singular active sites. This lecture will focus on our research developing synthetic tools and concepts to predictively control interfacial structures at heterogeneous and reusable electrodes at the molecular level. Surface-sensitive techniques and mechanisms will be highlighted throughout the talk. Applications of our… Event Categories: Seminars. Campus Locations: Thatcher Chemistry Building (TBBC).
