SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Shelley D. Minteer\, University of Utah
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 2nd at 12pm\, for a one-hour talk presented by Shelley D. Minteer\, Professor in the Dept. of Chemistry and Dept. of Materials Science & Engineering\, University of Utah\, Salt Lake City\, UT titled: \nBioelectrocatalysis for Electrosynthesis \nAbstract- In the last 5 years\, there have been extensive studies and new materials designed for interfacing biocatalysts with electrode surfaces. This talk will discuss electroanalytical techniques for studying biocatalysis\, including both mediated bioelectrocatalysis and direct bioelectrocatalysis. The talk will discuss electrode materials innovation for interfacing complex proteins with electrode surfaces as well as using them for electrosynthesis of ammonia as well as other value-added products (i.e.\, chiral amines\, chiral amino acids\, polymers\, etc.). This talk will discuss strategies for cofactor regeneration. Finally\, this talk will discuss the use of synthetic biology for microbial bioelectrosynthesis of ammonia and other value-added products. \n  \nThis seminar will be presented via Zoom\, the broadcast can also be viewed in the ASRC Auditorium. \nTo join these ongoing events\, the zoom link can also be found below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Nicholas K. Tonks
DESCRIPTION:Join us March 9th at 12pm\, for a one-hour talk presented by Nicholas K. Tonks\, Professor of Cancer Research; Dep. Director\, NCI-Cancer Center Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory\, Cold Spring Harbor\, NY\, titled: \nProtein Tyrosine Phosphatases and the Regulation of Cell Signaling: From Basic Research to New Therapeutics \nABSTRACT- The protein phosphatases are critical\, specific regulators of signaling that serve an essential function\, in a coordinated manner with the protein kinases\, to determine the response to a physiological stimulus. My laboratory takes a multidisciplinary approach to study the structure\, regulation and function of the protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) family of enzymes\, to illustrate their fundamental importance to the control of signal transduction under normal and pathophysiological conditions. As functional studies have established links to disease\, the PTPs have been garnering attention as potential therapeutic targets; however\, they remain a largely untapped resource for drug development. \nA focus of the lab is PTP1B\, the prototypic member of the PTP family that I discovered ~30 years ago. It is a validated target for diabetes and obesity\, as well as HER2-positive cancer\, and as such has been the subject of extensive drug discovery efforts. PTP1B is a challenging target for drug development\, which led industry to conclude that the members of the PTP family are “undruggable”. Consequently\, new approaches are required to exploit this important target effectively and reinvigorate drug discovery efforts. \nNow\, the detailed understanding of the structure and function of PTP1B\, which we have generated in an academic setting\, is revealing new approaches to the development of small molecule drug candidates. This includes small molecules that harness the physiological regulation of PTP function by reversible oxidation\, as well as allosteric inhibitors that stabilize an inactive conformation of PTP1B that is encountered in the absence of substrate and chelate copper specifically. These studies have opened up unanticipated ways to modulate the activity of critical signaling pathways in vivo. The application of these inhibitors is now revealing new functions of PTP1B and suggesting new indications in which these molecules may be applied for therapeutic benefit. \n  \nThis seminar will be presented via Zoom\, the broadcast can also be viewed in the ASRC Auditorium. \nTo join these ongoing events\, the zoom link can also be found below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rama Ranganathan
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-hour talk presented by Professor Rama Ranganathan\, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology\, Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at The University of Chicago\, Chicago\, IL titled: \n Evolutionary Principles of Protein Structure and Function  \nABSTRACT Proteins can fold spontaneously into well-defined three-dimensional structures and can carry out complex biochemical reactions such as binding\, catalysis\, and long-range information transfer. The precision required for these properties is achieved while also preserving evolvability – the capacity to adapt in response to fluctuating selection pressures in the environment. What is the basic design of proteins that supports all of these properties? Recent work suggests that rather than direct physical analysis\, statistical analysis of genome sequences provides a powerful and general approach to this problem. Using different methodologies\, this approach has revealed both direct structural contacts as well as collective functional modes within protein structures. In this talk\, I will present new approaches for probing the physical mechanisms implied by the evolution-based models and present ideas for how such mechanisms are constrained by the dynamics of the evolutionary process. This work represents a step towards a theory for the physics of proteins that is consistent with evolution. \n  \nThis seminar will be presented via Zoom\, the broadcast can also be viewed in the ASRC 5th Floor Data Visualization Room\, #5.210. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nMeeting ID: 495 404 8198 \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:City of Science: Demystifying Drug Discoveries Michael Brown in Conversation with Kevin Gardner
DESCRIPTION:Renowned physician-scientist Michael Brown (1985 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine\, shared with Joseph Goldstein) reveals firsthand insight into the process of discovering new drugs. Describing his own research on how our bodies sense cholesterol\, which led to the development of statin drugs\, Brown discusses how the seed of an idea in the laboratory develops into a widely available life-saving drug. What forces are at play during this process\, how do they impact the relationship between science and medicine\, and how might we enable future discoveries that benefit society? \nBrown\, who is the Paul J. Thomas Professor of Molecular Genetics and director of the Jonsson Center for Molecular Genetics at UT Southwestern Medical School\, speaks with Kevin Gardner\, director of the Structural Biology Initiative at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center and Einstein Professor of Biology and Biochemistry at the City College of New York and the CUNY Graduate Center. \nRegister to attend: https://bit.ly/3CwDhn1
