Dr. Till Opatz, from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany, will present a seminar titled, "The Magic of wood and light-rethinking classical synthetic chemistry."
Dr. Paul Craig, from The Rochester Institute of Technology, will present a seminar entitled, “Using protein function prediction to promote hypothesis-driven thinking in undergraduate biochemistry education.” Abstract: A team of twelve faculty members at eight institutions is developing a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience where students are seeking to predict functions for proteins of unknown functions. In the past year we have learned a great deal about the logistical aspects of implementing a CURE curriculum on a variety of campuses with widely [...]
Dr. Caleb Martin, from Baylor University, will be presenting a seminar titled, " Exploiting the Diverse Chemistry of Boroles to Access Unsaturated Boracycles". Abstract: Although boroles (1) were first reported in 1969, their reactivity has remained virtually unexplored until recently. The unique combination of a Lewis acidic tricoordinate boron center, a diene, and a strained planar BC4 five-membered ring in a single molecule coupled with the four p-electron anti-aromatic state results in highly diverse reactivity for boroles.1 Our groups’ efforts [...]
Dr. Toby L. Nelson, from Oklahoma State University, will be presenting a seminar titled "Redefining Melanin: From Eumelanin- inspired materials to structure- property relationships." Melanin is a unique class of natural occurring pigments found in the hair, eyes, skin and the brain of mammals. Eumelanin is the black-brown variety of Melanin and understood to be a biosynthesized heterogeneous macromolecule containing 5,6-dihydroxyindole and 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxyic acid. Nature has chosen this substance with such complexity and undefined structure as the centerpiece for so [...]
