SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Alexander Shekhtman\, SUNY at Albany
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Alexander Shekhtman\, Professor and Chair\, Department of Chemistry at the The RNA Institute\,\nUniversity at Albany\, State University of New York\, will be presenting a one-hour talk titled: \nIn-cell NMR: What is Inside  \nABSTRACT High-resolution structural studies of proteins and protein complexes in a native prokaryotic and eukaryotic environment present a challenge to structural biology. In-cell NMR can characterize atomic resolution structures but requires high concentrations of labeled proteins to be delivered into intact cells. Most exogenous delivery techniques are either limited to specific cell types or are too destructive to preserve cellular physiology. We demonstrate the feasibility of microfluidics transfection or volume exchange for the convective transfer\, VECT\, as a means to deliver labeled targets to HeLa cells. VECT delivery maintains cell viability thereby providing a route for long-term eukaryotic in-cell NMR experiments. The high viability allows changes in the metabolic state due to internal and external stimuli\, and stresses to be monitored. Protein-protein interactions\, PPIs\, underlie most cellular processes\, but many PPIs depend on a particular metabolic state that can only be observed in live\, actively metabolizing cells. Real-time in-cell NMR spectroscopy\, RT-NMR\, utilizes a bioreactor to maintain cells in an active metabolic state and unmasks functional protein-protein interactions that are absent without active metabolism. The combination of a bioreactor and VECT technology will facilitate the study of protein interactions in the most relevant physiological states. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Converge to Transform Seminar: Ting Xu\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a one-hour talk\, as part of the ASRC’s Converge to Transform: Interdisciplinary STEM Seminar Series\, from Professor Ting Xu\, University of California\, Berkeley\, titled: \nToward Merging Synthetic and Biological Macromolecules \nAbstract- Proteins\, nature’s “own” building blocks\, have many unique features unmatched by any synthetic organic or inorganic analogs. Using natural proteins to construct functional materials will clearly change the paradigm of materials science. In parallel\, learning protein’s sequence-structure-function relationship can also inform and accelerate development of biomimetic protein-like materials. I will present our explorations at the interfaces between synthetic and biological macromolecules toward next generation of functional materials and beyond.” \nBio– Prof. Ting Xu received Ph.D. from the Department of Polymer Science and Engineering from the University of Massachusetts\, Amherst in 2004. Her postdoctoral training focused on de novo protein design\, jointly between the University of Pennsylvania and the Cold Neutron for Biology and Technology (CNBT) team at NIST from 2004-2006. She joined University of California\, Berkeley in 2007 as Assistant professor in both the Department of Material Sciences and Engineering and Department of Chemistry and rose to the rank of full professor in 2016. \nProf. Xu’s research interests rest at the interface among soft matter\, biology\, material chemistry and engineering. Her research efforts focus on understanding assembly process in multi-component systems and applying the fundamental knowledge to control the assembly kinetics and pathways to generate hierarchically structured nanomaterials with built-in functionalities. Researchers in Xu’s group take advantage of the recent developments in polymer science\, protein science\, synthetic biology\, and nanoparticles synthesis and manipulation\, and apply them to establish chemistry-structure-property relationship and generate functional materials for life science\, environment and energy applications. \nProf. Xu is a fellow of American Physical Society\, American Chemical Society and serves on the Board of Directors of Materials Research Society since 2020. She was named as one of “Brilliant 10” by Popular Science Magazine in 2009. She is the recipient of awards including 2008 3M Nontenured Faculty Award; 2008 DuPont Young Professor Award; 2009 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award; 2010 Li Ka Shing Woman Research Award; 2011 Camille-Dreyfus Scholar-Teacher Award; 2011 ACS Arthur K. Doolittle Award\, 2018 Bakar Fellow and 2021 Bakar Prize. For their development of compostable plastics\, her team was awarded the grand prize of the 2021 Create the Future Design Contest among entries from 55 countries: and the Falling Walls Breakthrough of the Year 2022 in Engineering & Technology. \n  \n  \nIn initiating this series\, we seek to highlight outstanding\, high impact and inspiring interdisciplinary research\, bring together researchers from across many disciplines to break down silos\, and enrich CUNY’s undergraduate and graduate student training experiences.  \nThe CUNY ASRC was established nearly 8 years ago to advance interdisciplinary STEM research\, within the country’s largest public urban university system\, in the service of building knowledge and solving important societal problems through innovation. Recognizing that the solutions to these problems will emerge from dynamic and creative thought that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries\, the Center is comprised of five increasingly interconnected fields – Nanoscience\, Photonics\, Structural Biology\, Neuroscience\, and Environmental Science – and promotes synergistic collaborations among its research groups and across the university. Together\, our researchers address issues that range from energy harvesting and storage to the impacts of urbanization and climate change on forests\, soils\, marine ecosystems\, and human health.  \n  \nThis one-hour seminar will take place in the ASRC auditorium and be broadcast via Zoom. \n Zoom access >>> \nMeeting ID: 880 4112 9151\nPasscode: 960398 \nFor further questions about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nShelby Truitt \nstruitt@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Lars Konermann\, University of Western Ontario
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Professor Lars Konermann from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Western Ontario\, London\, ON\, Canada\, will be presenting a one-hour talk titled: \n Adventures in Mass Spectrometry: Interrogating the Behavior of Proteins in Solution\, in Electrospray Droplets\, and in the Gas Phase \nABSTRACT Electrospray mass spectrometry can provide detailed insights into protein structures\, dynamics\, and interactions. Key to the feasibility of such experiments is the transfer of proteins and peptides from solution into the gas phase. This talk will start by highlighting recent experimental and computational work on the mechanisms of these electrospray events. We will then proceed to discuss hydrogen/deuterium exchange techniques that can decipher the inner workings of soluble and membrane-bound proteins. We will illustrate this approach in experiments on ATP synthase\, the world’s smallest rotational motor. By combining mass spectrometry experiments with molecular dynamics simulations\, we were able to uncover previously unknown aspects of this motor protein. Another focus will be our work towards a thermodynamic framework for modeling temperature-dependent hydrogen exchange data\, an approach that can map protein energy landscapes. We will also discuss recent work on the peroxidase activation mechanism of cytochrome c which is closely related to the mechanism of apoptosis. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC auditorium and broadcast via Zoom. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \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: Scott Prosser\, University of Toronto
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Scott Prosser\, professor in the Department of Chemistry\, University of Toronto\, ON\, Canada\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \n Understanding Receptor Pharmacology – NMR-Inspired Studies of GPCR Activation and Connections \nABSTRACT The G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) superfamily consists of over 830 distinct 7-transmembrane proteins\, governing sensory and neuronal signaling\, cell homeostasis\, and immune response; 1/3 of all approved pharmaceuticals target GPCRs. Over 360 of these receptors are endo-GPCRs (other than olfactory\, taste\, and visual) and are thus potential drug targets. While functionally diverse\, many GPCRs have common modes of activation. For example\, the rhodopsin (class A) family\, encompassing ~700 GPCRs\, possesses a common network of “microswitches” that extend from the ligand binding pocket to the G protein binding interface. These microswitches respond cooperatively to agonists and dictate pharmacological response. The adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) is a prototypical class A GPCR found in the cardiovascular\, immune\, respiratory\, renal and central nervous systems. A2AR activation by endogenous adenosine mediates sleep\, angiogenesis\, and immune suppression\, while specific agonists and antagonists have been clinically tested to treat inflammation\, cancer\, pain\, and neurodegenerative diseases. Via mutagenesis\, biophysical studies\, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy (NMR)\, we study A2AR conformational dynamics in response to drugs\, to understand the role of microswitches in GPCR signalling – addressing questions of energetics\, efficacy\, biased signaling\, allostery via cations and membrane adjuvants\, and cooperative dynamics in the associated G protein. Some of our recent 19F NMR results on A2AR and its cognate G protein\, Gs\, will be presented\, with a view towards new methodologies that may extend the reach of bio-NMR. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \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: Tristan Bepler\, NYSBC
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Tristan Bepler\, Group Leader at the Simons Machine Learning Center\, New York Structural Biology Center\, New York\, NY\, will be presenting a one-hour talk titled: \nLearning to simultaneously locate and classify particles in cryo-electron micrographs without supervision \nABSTRACT In many imaging modalities\, objects of interest can occur in a variety of locations and poses (i.e.\, are subject to translations and rotations in 2d or 3d)\, but the location and pose of an object does not change its semantics (i.e.\, the object’s essence). That is\, the specific location and rotation of an airplane in satellite imagery\, or the 3d rotation of a chair in a natural image\, or the rotation of a particle in a cryo-electron micrograph\, do not change the intrinsic nature of those objects. Here\, we consider the problem of learning semantic representations of objects that are invariant to pose and location in a fully unsupervised manner. We address shortcomings in previous approaches to this problem by introducing TARGET-VAE\, a translation and rotation group-equivariant variational autoencoder framework. TARGET-VAE combines three core innovations: 1) a rotation and translation group-equivariant encoder architecture\, 2) a structurally disentangled distribution over latent rotation\, translation\, and a rotation-translation-invariant semantic object representation\, which are jointly inferred by the approximate inference network\, and 3) a spatially equivariant generator network. In comprehensive experiments\, we show that TARGET-VAE learns disentangled representations without supervision that significantly improve upon\, and avoid the pathologies of\, previous methods. When trained on images highly corrupted by rotation and translation\, the semantic representations learned by TARGET-VAE are similar to those learned on consistently posed objects\, dramatically improving clustering in the semantic latent space. Furthermore\, TARGET-VAE is able to perform remarkably accurate unsupervised pose and location inference. We expect methods like TARGET-VAE will underpin future approaches for unsupervised object generation\, pose prediction\, and object detection. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nZoom access>>> \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: Pilar Cossio\, Flatiron Institute
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Pilar Cossio\, Research Scientist and Project Leader for the Structural & Molecular Biophysics Center for Computational Mathematics\, Flatiron Institute\, New York\, NY\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \n Free energies from cryoEM particles \nAbstract   Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is an experimental technique that measures single-particle projections of biomolecules. Although single-particle cryo-EM is widely used for 3D reconstruction\, it has the potential to provide information about a biomolecule’s conformational variability and provide quantitative measurements of probability distributions. However\, cryo-EM images are challenging to analyze due to their low signal-to-noise ratio. To address these issues\, we developed mathematical methods to infer free-energy profiles and their uncertainties from cryo-EM raw images. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the meeting info below: \nMeeting ID:  968 3104 2138\nPasscode:  ASRC-CDI \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: Tanja Mittag\, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Tanja Mittag\, Member of the Structural Biology Department Faculty\, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital\, Memphis\, TN\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nConcepts in phase separation – from sequence-encoded driving forces to material properties \nABSTRACT Phase transitions underlie cellularcompartmentalization and mediate fundamental biologicalprocesses. How the driving force for phase separation is encodedin the protein sequence is therefore an important question. Here\,we use biophysical experiments\, theory\, and simulations togenerate a conceptual stickers-and-spacers framework tounderstand phase behavior of intrinsically disordered prion-likelow-complexity domains (PLCDs) of RNA-binding proteins.Stickers form non-covalent inter-and intramolecular crosslinks\,whereas spacers enable or suppress the formation of thesecrosslinks. We have previously shown that aromatic residues arethe stickers in the PLCD of hnRNPA1. Here\, we demonstrate thatsticker residues mediate networking and spacer residues influencephase separation through their effective solvation volume. Ouranalytical and coarse-grained models accurately predict PLCDphase behavior. Based on the resulting stickers-and-spacersmodel\, we can think of condensates as network fluids. We areextending our stickers-and-spacers framework to understandmaterial properties of condensates and how their aging processes\,which have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases\, areinfluenced by network structure and interfaces. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138 \nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \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: Giovanna Ghirlanda\, Arizona State University
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Giovanna Ghirlanda\, professor at the School of Molecular Sciences\, Arizona State University\, Tempe\, AZ\, will be presenting a one-hour talk titled: \nArtificial metalloproteins by design \nABSTRACT Hybrid metalloproteins incorporating organometallic active sites not found in nature within a protein scaffold are emerging as a viable avenue to catalyze a wide range of reactions\, with applications ranging from synthetic organic chemistry to sustainable fuel production. This approach is particularly appealing when coupled with light as a source of energy to drive the synthesis of clean energy sources. We have designed artificial enzymes capable of producing molecular hydrogen and reducing carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and formate under irradiation with UV-vis light and in the presence of photosensitizers. The active site in these designs is either anchored to protein scaffolds using noncanonical amino acids\, or obtained by swapping heme for cobalt protoporphyrin IX in natural and designed heme-binding proteins. Intriguingly\, these constructs are active in aerobic conditions. We found that incorporation in a protein scaffold increases activity by 10-20 folds compared to the isolated organometallic complex. Transient spectroscopy analysis demonstrates that this effect correlates with increased lifetime of the catalytically active redox state. Current work examines the activity of these constructs within bacterial cells. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138\nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \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: Petra Levin\, Washington University in St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Petra Levin\, Professor in the Department of Biology\, Washington University in St. Louis\, St. Louis\, MO\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nBacteria vs Environment: How very small organisms survive and thrive in a very big world.\n \nABSTRACT It is easy to forget that bacteria exist. Until something spoils. Or we get sick. Bacteria do not have the same luxury. Easily swept from one place to another by a flushing toilet\, prevailing winds\, or the movement of their hosts\, to survive they must adapt to a constantly changing environment. In this talk\, I will explain how two organisms—Escherichia coli and the pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae—modulate cell wall synthesis to survive and thrive in acidic conditions and how changes in pH alter their sensitivity to antibiotics. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138\nPasscode: ASRC-CD \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Towards Interactive 3D Visualization: The Role of Virtual\, Augmented and Mixed Reality in Scientific Visualization
DESCRIPTION:Come learn about new 3D visualization and augmented reality tools for your research! Summer opportunities are also available for undergraduate students. \nIn this one-hour seminar on virtual reality\, Wole Oyekoya\, PhD\, Hunter College and The Graduate Ceneter\, CUNY\, will be presenting talk titled: \n“Towards Interactive 3D Visualization: The Role of Virtual\, Augmented and Mixed Reality in Scientific Visualization.” \nAbstract: In research laboratories around the world\, Immersive 3D Visualization is playing a key role in the scientific analysis and discovery. Scientific Visualization is the art of representing scientific data in a way that allows researchers to gain keen insight into complex data sets\, thereby enabling them to see the expected and discover the unexpected in their data. Paraview\, VisIt and VMD are open-source scientific visualization applications that enables users to visualize high-performance computing (HPC) simulations. These applications support multiple data formats across different domains. We are aiming to enable interactive and immersive visualization by introducing the ability to analyze and visualize large scientific datasets at interactive speeds as it is being computed (Interactive Supercomputing). This visualization challenge has been brought about largely due to the growth of supercomputers and the amount of data that is being computed. This talk will present prior and current work in visualizing scientific data in Virtual and Augmented Reality systems\, as well as future plans to leverage the GPU power of A100 GPUs to enable immersive and interactive scientific visualization. \nBio: Assoc. Prof. Wole Oyekoya leads the Visualization and Virtual Reality Lab. He is an Associate Professor at Hunter College\, City University of New York (CUNY) and a member of the Doctoral Faculty of CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY’s Ph.D. Program in Computer Science). He obtained his PhD in 2007 at University College London\, where he worked on using eye tracking data for Content Based Image Retrieval. Prior to his appointment at CUNY\, he worked in the Visualization Groups of the Research Computing divisions of Virginia Tech and Clemson University. He was also a post-doctoral scholar at University College London. Currently\, he is a guest associate editor of Frontiers in Virtual Reality journal. He is also a recipient of funding from the National Science Foundation\, Adobe Digital Marketing Research Award and PSC CUNY Research Award.

SUMMARY:ASRC/CCNY Spring Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Anna-Lena Steckelberg\, Columbia University\, Irving Medical Center
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Anna-Lena Steckelberg\, Assistant Professor\, Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biophysics at\nColumbia University\, Irving Medical Center\, New York\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nViral RNA structures as master manipulators of the cellular RNA decay machinery \nABSTRACT RNA viruses typically contain very small genomes and encode only a few proteins. As obligate intracellular parasites\, many viruses have therefore evolved elegant RNA-based strategies to manipulate cellular machinery in order to enhance virus propagation and pathogenicity. Studying these RNA-centric viral mechanisms teaches us about important human pathogens\, but also expands our understanding of the cellular machinery they employ. \nA particularly intriguing\, yet poorly understood\, example is the use of highly structured RNA elements to halt the degradation of viral RNAs by cellular 5′-3′ exoribonuclease\, such as the highly processive Xrn1. This mechanism was first discovered over a decade ago in flaviviruses\, where the stalling of Xrn1 on viral genomes leads to the production of biologically active viral RNA degradation products with important functions in immune modulation and viral pathogenicity. More recently\, we discovered that exoribonuclease-resistant RNA structures (called xrRNAs) are also found in many unrelated RNA viruses\, including those of the plant-infecting Luteoviridae and Tombusviridae families. This finding established xrRNAs as an authentic functional class of structured RNAs and identified programmed exoribonuclease resistance as an important RNA maturation pathway in the viral world. Despite their widespread presence and continued discoveries of diverse roles\, the structural basis of xrRNA function remains only partially understood. All xrRNAs discovered to date rely on the formation of a protective ring-like fold around the RNA\, yet the sequences and three-dimensional folds that form these protective rings are highly diverse\, thwarting any attempt to predict new xrRNAs from sequence data alone. We have solved the three-dimensional structure of several plant-virus xrRNAs by x-ray crystallography\, and discovered a dynamic folding pathway that exploits Xrn1’s helicase activity for co-degradational structure remodeling. Combining biochemical in vitro assays\, viral infection studies\, structural biology and single-molecule measurements of RNA dynamics to characterize diverse xrRNAs\, we work towards predictive sequence-structure-function models of this new class of functional viral RNA. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138\nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \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: Joshua Levitz\, Weill Cornell Medicine
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Joshua Levitz\, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Biochemistry\, Weill Cornell Medicine\, New York\, NY will present a one-hour talk titled: \n“Mechanisms of Activation and Regulation of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptors.” \n\nABSTRACT The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are family C GPCRs which play critical roles in synaptic neuromodulation and serve as drug targets for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Their core features of constitutive dimerization and multi-domain architecture raise many fundamental structural and biophysical questions about their assembly\, activation\, and regulation. Using a variety of in vitro and live cell biophysical methods\, ranging from cryo-EM to super-resolution microscopy\, we have dissected the conserved and subtype-selective assembly and conformational dynamics of mGluRs at both the extracellular and transmembrane domains. Critically\, we reveal distinct modes of receptor activation by orthosteric versus allosteric ligands and complex subtype-specific heterodimerization profiles. In addition\, we have found extreme diversity in the ability of mGluR subtypes to couple to GPCR kinases (GRKs) and beta-arrestins. We have probed the underlying molecular mechanisms that control this subtype diversity and characterized how GRK and beta-arrestin coupling regulate mGluR signaling and trafficking\, including in the synaptic context. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138 \nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \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 Polizzi\, Harvard Medical School
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Nicholas Polizzi\, Assistant Professor for the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute\, Harvard Medical School\, Boston\, MA will present a one-hour talk titled: \nDesigning ligand-binding proteins from scratch \nAbstract    Most proteins function by first binding a ligand\, such as another protein\, peptide\, or small molecule. The Polizzi laboratory aims to learn the rules of protein–ligand binding through the lens of de novo protein design. In de novo design\, a protein’s structure and sequence are computed from first principles. This approach has seen much recent success for the creation of new protein shapes. However\, the design of proteins that bind to specific ligands remains an outstanding challenge. In this talk\, I will discuss our lab’s approach to designing small-molecule-binding proteins from scratch. By analyzing thousands of protein structures in the Protein Data Bank\, we discovered a structural “code” used by proteins to preferentially bind the chemical groups commonly found in small molecules. We developed a design algorithm called COMBS that uses the structural code to create custom ligand-binding sites; and we demonstrated its utility through the design of a de novo protein that specifically binds the antithrombotic drug\, apixaban. This work sets the stage for building bespoke ligand-binding proteins with many potential applications in biology and medicine. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the link below: \nMeeting ID: 968 3104 2138  \nPasscode: ASRC-CDI \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: Charalampos Babis Kalodimos\, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Charalampos Babis Kalodimos\, Faculty Chair in the Department of Structural Biology\, Joseph Simone Endowed Chair in Basic Research\, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital\, Memphis\, TN will present a one-hour talk titled: “The conformational landscape of protein kinases in physiology and disease.” \nAbstract   Protein kinases regulate almost every aspect of cellular function. Changes in the expression\, localization in the cell\, mutations or chromosomal rearrangements of kinases can cause a number of cancers and other diseases. Cancer ‘driver’ mutations occur very frequently in kinase genes. In fact\, the kinase domain is the domain most frequently encoded by cancer genes. Tremendous progress has been made in understanding the structure\, function\, and mechanisms of regulation of protein kinases. However\, it has proved challenging to monitor these transitions and structurally characterize the manifold of conformational states inherently populated by a kinase. In the absence of such information\, the mechanisms underpinning the response of kinases to physiological and pathological processes remain poorly understood. I will discuss how we structurally and energetically dissect the mechanisms underpinning the function and operation of a number of important protein kinases. We elucidate regulatory and drug-resistance mechanisms as well as how key structural elements and motifs control the activation/inhibition processes in kinases. \nThis seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with snacks and refreshments to start at 11:30am in the cafe. \nTo join these ongoing events via Zoom\, please use the info below: \nMeeting ID:  968 3104 2138Passcode:  ASRC-CDI \n Download Charalampos Babis Kalodimos Seminar Flyer  (278KB .PDF file) \nDownload the updated Spring 2023 Seminar Schedule (125 KB .PDF file) \nFor more information about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Special Seminar: Fernando Luίs Barroso da Silva\, University of São Paulo
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the ASRC 5th Fl Data Visualization Room for a special one-hour seminar titled: “Developing and Applying Fast constant-pH Simulation Methods in Biological Systems: From biomaterials to virus.” \nSpeaker: Fernando Luίs Barroso da Silva\nAssociate Professor\, Department of Biomolecular Sciences\nSchool of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Ribeirão Preto – University of São Paulo\nSao Paolo\, Brazil \nAbstract: A vast class of biomolecular engineering problems at the present including the understanding\, diagnosis\, and treatment of diseases; developments in the pharmaceutical and food industries; design of new (bio)functionalized materials and processes of bioseparation\, in general\, relies on a better knowledge of the fundamental physical interactions responsible for the formation and stability of molecular complexes. pH is a key physical-chemical parameter for many of them that is also related to the macromolecular complexation even “on the wrong side of the pI”. At our lab\, our focus has been on the development of coarse-grained descriptions that could result in a good compromise between the proper modeling of the constant-pH physics and reduced simulation time. In this talk\, I will review the main aspects of the peculiar attraction behind like-charge macromolecules\, the constant-pH simulation models devised for different biomolecular applications\, and how we have been using these tools together with other simulation and structural bioinformatic methods to better understand spidroins\, viruses (flaviviruses and coronaviruses) and designing therapeutic agents. \nDownload Fernando Barroso Seminar Flyer  (202KB .PDF file) \nSnacks and refreshments to start at 12:30pm in the 5th fl data viz room. This event will be in-person only. \nFor more information about this event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Catherine L. Drennan\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Catherine L. Drennan\, professor in the Departments of Biology and Chemistry at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\, MIT\, Cambridge\, MA\, will present a one-hour talk titled: \nCapturing Snapshots of Metalloenzymes in Action \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    The use of radical-based chemistry allows for amazing transformations in living organisms. To carry out their functions\, radical enzymes like ribonucleotide reductase often need to be flexible and assume different conformational states\, with units of the protein swinging back and forth to enable reactants to bind the protein or products to leave while protecting radical-based intermediates during the chemical steps in the reaction. In this presentation\, Drennan will present her lab’s structural studies of ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs). RNRs employ metallocofactors to generate radical species to afford the conversion of ribonucleotides (the building blocks of RNA) to deoxyribonucleotides (the building blocks of DNA). These enzymes are chemotherapeutic targets and proposed antibacterial targets. Here\, she will describe how the “resolution revolution” of cryo-electron microscopy allowed for the capture of an active state structure of ribonucleotide reductase for the first time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Catherine L.
