SUMMARY:(ONLINE) Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Robert B. Best\, NIH-NIDDK
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Robert B. Best\, Senior Investigator Theoretical Biophys. Chem. Section\, NIH – NIDDK Bethesda\, MD \nTitle: Structure and dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins\, their complexes and assemblies \nAbstract: Intrinsically disordered proteins are now realized to play a variety of important biological roles\, yet pose a challenge for experiments\, because observed signals are averaged over a very heterogeneous ensemble of structures. Molecular simulations can help to interpret the results\, if appropriately parameterized to match experimental data. I will describe our work using both atomistic and coarse-grained simulations to model the structure and dynamics of disordered proteins\, and their disordered complexes and assemblies\, especially those involving highly charged biomolecules. These include the role of a protein chaperone in the folding of nucleic acids\, and the formation of coacervates at lower ionic strength and higher protein concentrations. \nFor more information about joining in on Zoom\, contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:(ONLINE) Call to Action: Research Against COVID-19 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Post event update: The registration for this event is closed. Watch the webinar below or on YouTube\, and read more about the event. For more information on how you can participate in the programs at ASRC Sensor CAT\, please visit the Sensor CAT website or contact Tavis Ezell at tezell@gc.cuny.edu. \n\n\nThe ASRC Sensor Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) works hand-in-hand with state government to fund New York-based industrial development of advanced sensor technology. In light of the current COVID-19 crisis\, the state is calling for swift thinking from our STEM community and for the ASRC to lend its state-of-the-art core facilities and expertise to support fast-track development and commercialization of technology that can be used to address the challenge of  preventing\, managing and stemming infectious disease pandemics. ​ \nPlease register for the webinar if you and your industry partner have a potentially applicable idea that could be immediately put into action with economic support from our CAT. We are devising means to open lab space at the ASRC for supported projects\, and we have gained approval from New York state for ​additional flexibility in funding. We can also help you identify and match with your potential industry or academic partners. \nWe want to hear how we can support you and your industry partner’s participation in the state’s call to action. The April 7th webinar will be a critical opportunity to learn how ASRC Sensor CAT can support you and your industry partner’s participation in this urgent to call to action\, and to also explore what resources are immediately available in this time of crisis. \nQuestions?  \nContact Jiye Son\, json2@gc.cuny.edu and Tavis Ezell\, tezell@gc.cuny.edu \nSchedule\n  \n\n\n\n2:00 pm\nResearch against COVID-19 \n\n\n\nNina Gray\, Executive Director of ASRC\nRein Ulijn\, Director of ASRC Sensor CAT and Nanoscience Initiative\nTavis Ezell\, Business Development Director of ASRC Sensor CAT\nRicardo Toledo-Crow\, Director of Next Generation Environmental Sensors Facility at ASRC\n\n\n2:15 pm\nWhat are researchers doing?\n\n\n\nAdam Braunschweig\, Associate Professor\, Nanoscience Initiative\, ASRC\nAlan Lyons\, Professor\, College of Staten Island\nChrista Avampato\, CEO\, Double or Nothing Media\nJacob Trevino\, Principal Scientist\, Chemeleon\nJames Scholtz\, CEO\, VYIR Inc.\n\n\n2:40 pm\nQ&A Panel\n\n\n\nNorman Sabio\, Infectious Disease Specialist and Internal Medicine Practitioner\nRein Ulijn\, Director of ASRC Sensor CAT and Nanoscience Initiative\nTavis Ezell\, Business Development Director of ASRC Sensor CAT

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Lieyang (Eric) Chen\, Lehman College & Silas Hartley\, City College of New York
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Lieyang (Eric) Chen\, Ph.D. student\, Thomas Kurtzman group\, Lehman College \nTitle: Advanced Computational Methodologies to Study Binding Free Eneregies of Protein-Ligand Complexes \nAbstract: Machine learning has recently been applied to computational drug discovery after achieving remarkable success in image/voice recognition. However\, the complexity of the protein-ligand binding interaction combined with issues inherent to current binding affinity databases make it a challenging task to develop reliable machine learning methods to predict ligand binding affinity. Here we will show how scientists are tricked by the machine-learning black box when developing such methods. \n  \nSpeaker: Silas Hartley\, Ph.D. Student\, David Jeruzalmi group\, City College of New York \nTitle: DNA Damage Recognition and UvrB Loading by UvrA within the Nucleotide Excision Repair Pathway \nAbstract: Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a DNA damage repair pathway vital for cell survival. As part of the NER pathway\, UvrA searches DNA until damages are found. Despite extensive research into the NER pathway\, it remains unclear how UvrA recognizes damaged DNA. Our research presented an image of the UvrA-DNA complex post-damage recognition; an important step in understanding the UvrA-DNA damage recognition mechanism. Additionally\, a UvrA-UvrB complex can search for damages. Our findings in the UvrA-UvrB damaged DNA search mechanism provide details into previous research that suggested the complex has an alternate DNA search mechanism then UvrA alone. \nFor more information about joining in on Zoom\, contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu
