SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Qing R. Fan\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Qing R. Fan\, Associate Professor of Pharmacology\, Pathology\, and Cell Biology at the Columbia University Irving Medical Center\, NY\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \n Structural mechanisms of ligand activation in dimeric GPCRs \nABSTRACT Our research seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms of activation and modulation of dimeric G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). GPCRs are distinguished by their seven-helix transmembrane domain which couples with specific G proteins to initiate downstream signaling cascades. They respond to a diverse array of external stimuli and constitute 30-50% of clinical drug targets. \nGPCRs are divided into several classes. The class C family of GPCRs are unique in that they are obligate dimers and possess substantial extracellular domains. These receptors bind activating ligands remotely in the extracellular domain\, which then transmits signals into and through the transmembrane domain for G protein activation. We are working to understand the activation mechanisms in two class C GPCR systems: human GABAB receptor and human calcium-sensing (CaS) receptor. \nGABAB receptor functions as an obligatory heterodimer to mediate inhibitory neurotransmission. We determined the extracellular-domain structures of GABAB receptor in three functional states: in the apo form\, bound to six different antagonists\, and bound to two different agonists. Our structures revealed the molecular mechanisms of ligand recognition and activation in GABAB receptor. \nWe recently solved a structure of near full-length GABAB receptor\, captured in the inactive state by cryo-electron microscopy. Our structure revealed a novel heterodimer interface between the transmembrane domains of GABAB subunits. This interface embodies the signature of GABAB receptor’s inactive conformation. Furthermore\, we identified a unique- intersubunit latch- motif within this transmembrane interface that maintains the inactive state of the receptor\, since its disruption through mutations results in constitutive receptor activity. We also discovered multiple ligands pre-associated with the receptor\, including a Ca2+ near the orthosteric agonist-binding site to upregulate receptor activity and two large endogenous phospholipids embedded within the TM domains to maintain receptor integrity. \nCaS receptor functions as a homodimer to control extracellular Ca2+ homeostasis. We determined the extracellular-domain structures of human CaS receptor in the resting and active conformations. Our structures revealed novel binding sites for Ca2+\, PO43-\, and L-amino acids. Surprisingly\, we discovered that L-amino acids are orthosteric agonists of CaS receptor\, and act jointly with Ca2+ to trigger receptor activation. Additionally\, PO43- mediates inhibition of CaS receptor activity. \nWe recently obtained the structures of a near-full length CaS receptor in three functional states\, an inactive-state structure in the presence of a negative allosteric modulator\, and two active-state structures in the absence and presence of a positive allosteric modulator. We found that CaS receptor activation involves a rearrangement of the transmembrane homodimer and formation of a novel dimer interface. In the inactive structure\, direct transmembrane contact is absent. The critical development during receptor activation arises from a helix-breaking event that facilitates the formation of a transmembrane homodimer interface. \nThis seminar will be presented in the auditorium and 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: \nJennifer Chow \njchow@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Jeremy Levy\, University of Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:Please join us October 3rd\,  for a one-hour talk from Professor Jeremy Levy\, Department of Physics and Astronomy\, University of Pittsburgh\, titled: \n Correlated Nanoelectronics and the Second Quantum Revolution \n\nAbstract – Strongly correlated electronic materials and quantum transport of nanoelectronic systems are areas of research that have traditionally followed non-intersecting paths. With the development of complex-oxide heterostructures and nanostructures\, a nascent field of Correlated Nanoelectronics has emerged. My research program makes extensive use of nanoscale reconfigurability of a complex-oxide heterostructure formed from a thin layer of LaAlO3 grown on SrTiO3. Like an Etch-aSketch toy\, the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface can be drawn (and erased) with 2 nm resolution to create a remarkable range of quantum devices. These nanoscale devices can be “aimed” back at the materials themselves to provide insight into their inner workings. This platform has already produced two novel phases of electronic matter: one in which electrons form bound pairs without becoming superconducting\, and a family of one-dimensional degenerate quantum liquids formed from n-tuples of bound electrons. A rich and growing palette of quantum building blocks are currently being explored for applications in quantum computing\, quantum simulation\, and quantum sensing\, major goals of the Second Quantum Revolution. \nBio – Dr. Jeremy Levy is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Pittsburgh. He received an A.B. degree in physics from Harvard University in 1988\, and a Ph.D. degree in physics from UC Santa Barbara in 1993. After a postdoctoral position at UC Santa Barbara\, he joined the University of Pittsburgh in 1996. His research interests center around the emerging field of oxide nanoelectronics\, experimental and theoretical realizations for quantum computation\, semiconductor and oxide spintronics\, quantum transport and nanoscale optics\, and dynamical phenomena in oxide materials and films. He is a Class of 2015 Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellow\, a Fellow of the APS and AAAS\, a recipient of the 2008 Nano50 Innovator Award\, and the NSF Career Award.

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Dennis Prather\, University of Delaware
DESCRIPTION:Please join us October 7th\,  for a one-hour talk from Professor Dennis Prather\, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, University of Delaware\, titled: \nPhotonic Technologies for Frequency Agnostic RF Phased Array Systems \n\nAbstract – This presentation will introduce a new approach to realizing broadband RF phased array antenna systems that provide software defined multi-function operation. The approach uses an antenna system that based on spatial perception\, i.e.\, imaging of the RF environment\, and thereby provides inherent spatial orthogonality to beam space processing which minimizes inter-beam interaction and thereby mitigates interference and/or jamming. While most antennas incorporate some degree of spatial selectivity\, few are able to resolve hundreds of high bandwidth RF beams while enabling each to operate with independent functionality all at the same time. To demonstrate this capability\, we have developed a spatially-coherent optical up-conversion process that relies on an RF-photonic feed network to perform real-time\, massive beam-space processing\, where each received beam is focused and thereby spatially resolved\, or isolated\, from all other beams\, which results in a real-time “image” of the RF scene. In so doing\, each beam is spatially orthogonal from the rest\, which mitigates co- and adjacent-channel interference and jamming. In addition\, each focused signal is optically down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) where high dynamic range analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) can be used. Thus\, there is no need for ADCs that operate above the IF bandwidth. This dramatically improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and dynamic range\, which is essential for multi-functional operation. Also\, because the read-out network is based on optical fibers\, it is inherently broadband and\, thus\, a single RF aperture can be used for simultaneous\, multi-functional operation over extremely broad bandwidths. The end result is a multifunctional system that enables extreme spatial diversity and frequency agility\, which is necessary to ensure efficient and effective RF systems in an increasingly congested and contested electromagnetic environment. Design methodology\, fabrication methods for both photonic and electronic devices\, as well as system integration and demonstration will be presented. \nBio – Professor Prather is currently an Endowed Professor of Electrical Engineering\, he is a Fellow of the IEEE\, Fellow of the Society of Photo-Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)\, Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA) and Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. He has authored or co-authored over 650 scientific papers\, holds over 40 patents\, and has written 16 books/book-chapters. \nThis one-hour seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with time for Q and A to follow. \nZoom Meeting ID: 595 955 6744 \nPasscode:\n119921 \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminar: Andrea Ferrari\, University of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Please join the ASRC Photonics Initiative for a one-hour seminar\, presented by Andrea Ferrari\, University of Cambridge\, titled: \n Layered Materials: Characterization and Applications \nAbstract – Graphene and layered materials (LMs) have great potential in photonics and optoelectronics\, where the combination of their optical and electronic properties can be fully exploited\, and the absence of a bandgap in graphene can be beneficial. The linear dispersion of the Dirac electrons in graphene enables ultra-wide-band tunability as well as gate controllable third-harmonic enhancement over an ultra-broad bandwidth\, paving the way for electrically tuneable broadband frequency converters for optical communications and signal processing. Saturable absorption is observed as a consequence of Pauli blocking and can be exploited for mode-locking of a variety of ultrafast and broadband lasers. Graphene integrated photonics is a platform for wafer scale manufacturing of modulators\, detectors and switches for next generation datacom and telecom. Heterostructures based on LMs have properties different from those of their individual constituents and of their three dimensional counterparts. These can be exploited in novel light emitting devices\, such as single photon emitters\, and tuneable light emitting diodes. LMs have potential for quantum technologies\, as scalable sources of single photon emitters (SPEs). Quantum emitters in LMs hold potential in terms of scalability\, miniaturization\, integration. Generation of quantum emission from the recombination of indirect excitons in heterostructures made of different LMs is a path with enormous potential. I will overview production\, characterization and application of graphene and LMs\, focussing optical and quantum applications. \nBio – Andrea C. Ferrari earned a PhD in electrical engineering from Cambridge University\, after a Laurea in nuclear engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, Italy. He is Professor of nanotechnology and Professorial Fellow of Pembroke College. He founded and directs the Cambridge Graphene Centre and the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Graphene Technology. He chairs the management panel and is the Science and Technology Officer of the European Graphene Flagship. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society\, Fellow of the Materials Research Society\, Fellow of the Institute of Physics\, Fellow of the Optical Society and he has been recipient of numerous awards\, such as the Royal Society Brian Mercer Award for Innovation\, the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award\, the Marie Curie Excellence Award\, the Philip Leverhulme Prize\, The EU-40 Materials Prize. He also received 4 European Research Council Grants. \nThis event will be held in the ASRC auditorium while broadcast via Zoom. \nZoom ID# 595 955 6744 \nPasscode: 119921 \nFor further info. please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

DESCRIPTION:Please join the Photonics Initiative for a one-hour seminar from Aashish Clerk\, University of Chicago\, titled: \nNon-reciprocal quantum interactions from gauge symmetry \nAbstract – The most common kinds of interactions in physics obey a basic kind of reciprocity: when two systems or particles interact\, each one influences the other\, and information flows in both directions. Engineering quantum interactions that break this symmetry is of both fundamental and practical interest. In this talk\, I will describe a new approach for realizing one-way quantum interactions that does not require breaking time-reversal symmetry\, but instead makes use of a local gauge symmetry present in any Markovian dissipative quantum dynamics. This new route to quantum non-reciprocity is compatible with many experimental setups\, and enables a new\, dissipatively-stabilized approach for implementing quantum gates. I will also discuss a new\, extremely general quantum information-baed metric that allows one to rigorously quantify and compare different kinds of quantum non-reciprocal interactions. \nBio – Aashish Clerk is a theoretical physicist and Professor of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. Clerk’s research focuses on understanding complex phenomena in quantum systems that are both strongly driven and subject to dissipation; it intersects the fields of condensed matter\, quantum optics and quantum information. His research has applications to various areas of quantum technology\, including sensing\, control\, communication and computing. He received his BSc from the University of Toronto and a PhD in Physics from Cornell University. Prior to joining the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering\, Professor Clerk served as Professor of Physics and Tier-1 Canada Research Chair at McGill University. His work has been recognized by several awards\, including a 2020 Simons Foundation Investigator in Physics Fellowship\, and the 2015 Rutherford Medal in Physics from the Royal Society of Canada. \n This event will be held in the ASRC auditorium\, while broadcast via Zoom. \nZoom ID#  812 3743 9490 \nPasscode: 119921 \nFor further info. please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Carrie Partch\, UC Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:In this weekly seminar series\, Carrie Partch\, Professor in the Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry\, University of California at Santa Cruz\, Santa Cruz\, CA\, will be giving a one-hour talk titled: \nMorning larks and night owls shed light on human circadian timekeeping\n \nABSTRACT Our lives are intimately linked to Earth’s 24- hour solar cycle via circadian clocks that coordinate physiology and behavior into rhythms that coincide with the day/night cycle. By integrating structural biology\, biochemistry\, and cell biology\, we’ve been working to identify how dedicated clock proteins interact with one another to establish a deeper understanding of the transcription-based feedback loop that underlies circadian rhythms in mammals. Recent insights into the genetic basis of morning lark and night owl behavior have shed light on key molecular steps in the clock that play a powerful role in determining the intrinsic timing of circadian clocks in humans. Some of these recent advances will be discussed to explore the biochemical basis for circadian timekeeping. \nThis seminar will be presented in the 5th floor data visualization room while 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>>> \nTo further inquire about this hybrid event please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

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

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:Photonics Seminar: Graeme Milton\, University of Utah
DESCRIPTION:Please join us November 3rd\, for a one-hour talk from Graeme Milton\, University of Utah\, titled: \nLarge Guiding Stress: From Pentamodes to Cable Webs to Masonry Structures \nAbstract – Pentamode materials are a class of materials that are useful for guiding stress. In particular\, they have been proposed for acoustic cloaking by guiding stress around objects\, and have been physically constructed. A key feature of pentamode materials is that each vertex in the material is the junction of 4 double cone elements. Thus the tension in one element determines the tension in the other elements\, and by extension uniquely determines the stress in the entire metamaterial. Here we show how this key feature can be extended to discrete wire networks\, supporting forces at the terminal nodes and which may have internal nodes where no forces are applied. In usual wire or cable networks\, such as in a bridge or bicycle wheel\, one distributes the forces by adjusting the tension in the wires. Here our discrete networks provide an alternative way of distributing the forces through the geometry of the network. In particular the network can be chosen so it is uniloadable\, i.e. supports only one set of forces at the terminal nodes. Such uniloadable networks provide the natural generalization of pentamode materials to discrete networks. We extend such a problem to the limit analysis of compression-only ‘strut nets’ subjected to fixed and variable nodal loads. These systems provide discrete element models of masonry bodies\, which lie inside the polygon/polyhedron with vertices at the points of application of the given forces (‘underlying masonry structures’). This is joint work with Ada Amendola\, Guy Bouchitté\, Antonio Fortunato\, Fernando Fraternali\, Ornella Mattei\, and Pierre Seppecher. \nBio – Graeme Milton received his Ph.D degree in Physics from Cornell University in 1985\, and a D.Sc from Sydney University in 2003 based on his book” The Theory of Composites” published by Cambridge University Press\, now followed by the book” Extending the Theory of Composites to other Areas of Science”. He is currently a distinguished professor of mathematics at the University of Utah\, where he served as department chairman from 2002 to 2005. He has been awarded Sloan and Packard Fellowships\, the 2003 SIAM Ralph Kleinman Prize for research bridging the gap between mathematics and applications\, the 2007 Society for Engineering Science Prager Medal for contributions to theoretical mechanics\, the 2012 Landauer Medal of the ETOPIM association for seminal contributions to the field of composite material science\, and the 2015 International prize Tullio Levi-Civita for the Mathematical and Mechanical Sciences. He is a fellow of Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. His main interests are in the fields of composite materials\, inverse problems. \nThis one-hour seminar will be presented in the ASRC Auditorium and broadcast via Zoom\, with time for Q and A to follow. \nZoom ID:  821 0879 6187 \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Photonics Seminars: Lee Swindlehurst\, Zhu Han\, and Marco Di Renzo
DESCRIPTION:Please join us November 4th\, for talks presented by Lee Swindlehurst\, Zhu Han\, and Marco Di Renzo from 10:30am- 1:00pm. \nLee Swindlehurst\, UC Urvine\, will be presenting a talk titled: Intelligent Reflection and Absorption for Sensing\, Interference\, and Energy Efficiency \nAbstract – Nearly passive metasurfaces have attracted great interest recently given their ability to tune the RF propagation environment and enhance the capabilities of wireless communication systems. Most work on such reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) has focused on designs that (almost) fully reflect all energy that impinges on the surface\, in order to maximize performance metrics such as the network sum rate. More recently\, focus has shifted to hybrid RIS architectures that sense or at least redirect some of the impinging RF energy in order for the RIS to (1) extract information for local processing (e.g.\, channel estimation)\, (2) refract some of it for transmission on the other side of the RIS\, or (3) simply to absorb it. In this talk we will examine these alternative architectures and particularly focus on the advantages of partial absorption at the RIS for scenarios requiring interference mitigation. \nBio – Lee Swindlehurst received the B.S. (1985) and M.S. (1986) degrees in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University (BYU)\, and the PhD (1991) degree in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. He was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at BYU from 1990-2007\, where he served as Department Chair from 2003-06.

Fink Overview Paper Award\, and a Best Paper award at the 2020 IEEE International Conference on Communications. \nZhu Han\, University of Houston\, will be presenting a talk titled: MetaSensing: Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface Assisted RF 3D Sensing using Machine Learning  \nAbstract – Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) stands out as a novel approach to improve the communication and sensing in the future wireless networks. It is capable to actively shape the uncontrollable wireless environments into a desirable form via flexible phase shift reconfiguration without extra hardware or power costs. To better exploit the potential of such a technique\, it is essential to develop distributed configuration\, to design new protocols\, to explore and implement suitable application scenarios\, as well as to perform intelligent control and orchestration. First we provide a general introduction of the intelligent meta-surface along with the state-of-the-art research in different areas. Then we introduce the unique features of intelligent meta-surface which enlighten its broad applications to communication and sensing\, in a comprehensive way. Related design\, analysis\, optimization\, and signal processing techniques will be presented. Finally\, we explore typical meta-surface applications and discuss implementation issues with an emphasis on high-resolution smart RF sensing. Formalized analysis of several up-to-date challenges and technical details on system design will be provided for different applications. \nBio – Zhu Han received the B.S. degree in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University\, in 1997\, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland\, College Park\, in 1999 and 2003\, respectively.

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:Photonics Seminar: Aditya Mohite\, Rice University
DESCRIPTION:Please join us November 17th\, for a one-hour talk from Aditya Mohite\, Rice University\, titled: \nHalide perovskites for durable and high-efficiency photovoltaics and solar fuels \nAbstract – Halide (hybrid) perovskites (HaP) have emerged as a new class of semiconductors that truly encompass all the desired physical properties for building optoelectronic and quantum devices such as large tunable bandgaps\, large absorption coefficients\, long diffusion lengths\, low effective mass\, good mobility\, and long radiative lifetimes. In addition\, HaPs are solution processed or low-temperature vapor grown semiconductors and are made from earth abundant materials thus making them technologically relevant in terms of cost/performance. As a result\, proof-of-concept high efficiency optoelectronic devices such as photovoltaics and LEDs have been fabricated. In fact\, photovoltaic efficiencies have sky-rocketed from 3.9% to 25.5% in a decade. Despite the high-efficiencies\, a long-enduring challenge has been achieving technologically relevant durability. \nIn this talk I will describe our recent work on HaPs on understanding solvation dynamics\, thin-film processing to achieve highly crystalline and homogenous films\, novel photo-doping induced structural behaviors\, which enhance charge carrier transport which enable solar cells with >24.5% power conversion efficiency and technologically relevant durability. Finally\, I will also demonstrate an integrated photoelectrochemical reactor that uses high-efficiency HaP/Si tandem solar cells with >28% efficiency\, which results in an unassisted water-splitting solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiency of 20.8% with continuous operation over 100 hours. \nBio – Aditya D. Mohite is an Associate professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with joint positions in Department of Material Science and Nanoengineering\, Department of Chemistry\, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Rice University and directs an energy and optoelectronic devices lab working on understanding structure-function properties in materials with the aim of controlling charge and energy flow across interfaces. His research philosophy is applying creative and out-of-the-box approaches to solve fundamental scientific bottlenecks and utilize the knowledge to demonstrate performances in devices that is on par or exceeds the current state-of-the-art devices. A key mission of his group is to advance the knowledge of knowledge of materials\, chemistry\, physics\, and engineering to develop next-generation technologies by working with a multidisciplinary and diverse group. He has published 165 peer reviewed papers in journals such as Science\, Nature\, Nature Materials\, Nature Nanotechnology\, Nature Physics\, Nano Letters\, ACS Nano\, Chemical Society Reviews\, Applied Physics Letters and Advanced Materials amongst others\, which has been cited >20\,000 times. He has also delivered more than 90 invited talks\, has 6 patents. He is currently also the director of the Rice Engineering INitiatiVe for ENergy Transition and Sustainability (REINVENTS) with the goal of coordinating and organizing research in sustainable clean energy in the areas of energy generation\, long-term energy storage and energy efficient processes and materials with the goal of creating disruptive solutions for decarbonization. \nRecent awards and honors:\n1.

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
