SUMMARY:!CANCELLED as of 9/5/23!            ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rohit Pappu\, Washington University in St. Louis
DESCRIPTION:As of 9/5/23 this seminar has been CANCELLED. Please continue to check the events page for updates and/or rescheduling.  \n  \n  \n  \nJoin us for the first Biochem Seminar of the Fall on September 6th with Distinguished Professor\, Rohit Pappu\, from McKelvey School of Engineering at the Washington University in St. Louis! These seminars will take place every Wednesday at noon in the ASRC Auditorium. \nTalk title: “Emergent consequences of macromolecular phase transitions.” \nABSTRACT Phase transitions of associative macromolecules enable spatial and temporal organization over cellular matter. The talk will present insights regarding hidden complexities underlying evolutionarily selected physico-chemical principles that govern the driving forces for phase transitions and material properties of condensates formed by prion-like low complexity domains of proteins. The talk will also cover ground on the transferability of core physical principles to describe the assembly of cellular condensates such as nucleoli. Both aspects of the talk will stress emergent properties that result from the totality of processes that come under the rubric of condensation of macromolecules. \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 via Zoom:\nMeeting ID: 966 7763 1144\nPasscode: asrc-ccny \nTo download the full seminar flyer: 20230906 flyer \nTo download the full speaker schedule: Biochem Speaker Meeting Schedule_Fall_2023 \n  \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nHyacinth Camillieri \nhcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu \n

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Geraldine Seydoux\, Johns Hopkins University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon!  For this first seminar of the semester\, Professor of Genetic Medicine and Molecular Biology and Genetics\, Geraldine Seydoux\, Johns Hopkins University\, will present a talk titled: “Assembly and Function of RNA granules \nin C. elegans.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    RNA granules are assemblies of RNA and proteins not limited by membranes. RNA granules contain factors for RNA biogenesis and turnover and are often assumed to represent specialized compartments for RNA biochemistry. We use the C. elegans model to study RNA granules in a native\, whole animal context.  Our studies support the view that RNA granules are assembled by phase separation\, a thermodynamic process that causes interacting proteins and RNAs to de-mix from the cytoplasm to form condensed droplets.  I will discuss active mechanisms used by cells to control the assembly and distribution of P granules in embryos\, including protein clusters that form a type of “primitive membrane” on the surface of P granules to reduce surface tension and regulate granule dynamics. I will also discuss recent experiments that challenge the view that RNA granules represent specialized compartments for RNA biochemistry and present evidence that some are “incidental condensates”\, non-functional minor condensation by-products that form when sub-soluble RNA-protein complexes saturate the cytoplasm.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Geraldine Seydoux Seminar Flyer  (234 KB .PDF file) \nDownload the Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule (189 KB .PDF file)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\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 via Zoom: \nMeeting ID:  966 7763 1144\nPasscode:  asrc-ccny \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: Vladimir N. Uversky\, University of South Florida
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! This week’s speaker\, Vladimir N. Uversky\, professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine at the University of South Florida\, will be presenting a talk titled: \n“From polyfunctionality to multipathogenicity with intrinsic disorder.”\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABSTRACT  Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) lack stable tertiary and/or secondary structure under physiological conditions in vitro. They are highly abundant in nature and have functional repertoire which is very broad and complements functions of ordered proteins. Often\, intrinsically disordered proteins are involved in regulation\, signaling and control pathways. Functions of IDPs may arise from the specific disordered form\, from inter-conversion of disordered forms\, or from transitions between disordered and ordered as well as between ordered and disordered conformations. The choice between these conformations is determined by the peculiarities of the protein environment\, and many IDPs possess an exceptional ability to fold in a template-dependent manner. These proteins are often key players in protein-protein interaction networks being highly abundant among hubs. Regions of mRNA which undergo alternative splicing code for disordered proteins more often than they code for structured proteins. This association of alternative splicing and intrinsic disorder helps proteins to avoid folding difficulties and provides a novel mechanism for developing tissue-specific protein interaction networks. IDPs are tightly controlled in the norm by various genetic and non-genetic mechanisms. Alteration in regulation of this disordered regulators are often detrimental to a cell and many IDPs are associated with a variety of human diseases such as cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, amyloidoses\, neurodegenerative diseases\, diabetes and others. Therefore\, there is an intriguing interconnection between intrinsic disorder\, cell signaling and human diseases. Pathogenic IDPs\, such as α-synuclein\, tau protein\, p53\, BRCA1 and many other disease-associated hub proteins represent attractive targets for drugs modulating protein-protein interactions. Several strategies have been elaborated for elucidating the mechanisms of blocking of the intrinsic disorder-based protein-protein interactions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload the Full Speaker Flyer Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Dr. Uversky will be giving this talk via Zoom.

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Alexander R. Ivanov\, Northeastern University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlexander R. Ivanov \nAssociate Professor\, Chemistry and Chemical BiologyBarnett Institute for Chemical & Biological AnalysisNortheastern University\, Boston\, MA\n\n\nBig and small: Mass spectrometry-based studies of small cell populations\, single cells\, and ~1 MDa multimeric protein assemblies\nAbstract    The field of proteomics research has been rapidly evolving during the last two decades. In the previous few years\, the fields of single-cell proteomics and native mass spectrometry have progressed substantially. However\, deep proteomic profiling of limited samples (e.g.\, small populations of rare cells\, individual cells\, microneedle biopsies\, subpopulations of extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from minute volumes of biofluids) and especially\, characterization of post-translational modifications (PTMs) and non-covalent protein interactions of intact multimeric protein complexes at such sample amount levels have been a major challenge because of very low abundance and high heterogeneity of complex biological matrices. In this presentation\, I will overview a combination of advanced sample preparation\, pressure- and electric field-driven ultra-low flow high-efficiency nanoscale liquid phase separations coupled to mass spectrometry (MS) via alternative interfacing techniques to evaluate the potential applicability for high sensitivity\, robust and reproducible proteomic and glycomic profiling of individual cells and low ng-/sub-ng-level complex biological samples\, using bottom-up\, top-down\, and native proteomic and PTM profiling approaches. Also\, our recent progress in native MS-based structural characterization of large ~1 MDa multimeric GroEL assemblies upon complexation with nucleotides (ATPγS or ADP)\, GroES\, and cofactors and the binding stoichiometry and kinetics of the analyzed protein complexes will be presented and discussed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Alexander Ivanov Seminar Flyer \nDownload the updated Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Dr. Ivanov will be giving this talk in person at the ASRC Main Auditorium.

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rachel Martin\, University of California Irvine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel Martin\nProfessor\, Department of ChemistryUniversity of California\, Irvine\n\nProtein aging and cataract:Biophysical methods to see it clearly.\nAbstract    The optical power of the vertebrate eye lens is generated by the crystallins\, exceptionally soluble proteins that are packed in at very high concentration (up to about 50% protein in humans\, and even higher in fish). The extraordinary solubility of these proteins is even more remarkable given that the lens has almost no protein turnover: crystallin proteins have to last for a lifetime. When crystallins do aggregate\, the result is cataract\, a major cause of blindness worldwide. Understanding both the transparent hydrogel of the healthy lens and the aggregates of the disease state is a long-term research direction for my group. The NMR instrumentation we have developed to study semi-solid protein systems of this type that are not amenable to either standard solid-state or solution techniques is integral to this work. I will present our recent structural and biophysical work on mutations involved in hereditary cataract\, the impact of oxidative damage\, and the complex relationship among different types of post-translational modifications. I will also discuss the evolutionary relationships between human crystallins and those of aquatic organisms\, which must satisfy much more stringent demands in terms of both solubility and refractivity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Rachel Martin Seminar Flyer  \nDownload the updated Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Dr. Martin will be giving this talk in person at the ASRC Main Auditorium.

SUMMARY:New York City Integrative Structural Biology Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Integrative structural biology is a powerful approach to understand biological macromolecular systems. By combining computational methods with structural science disciplines\, spatial and temporal models of macromolecular targets in their in-situ context can be determined. The focus of this symposium is to introduce integrative structural biology to our structural sciences community. The fields of light microscopy\, mass spectrometry\, X-ray crystallography\, NMR\, cryo-EM\, and computational methods will be highlighted. The topics will cover the best practices and current research toward building structural models across different resolution scales. This symposium will also explore how experimental and computational methods can be integrated to address conformational changes\, flexibility\, and dynamics in macromolecular structures. \nSymposium Agenda \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n08:30-09:30\nRegistration\nRegistration & poster setup\n\n\n09:30-09:35\nOpening\nWelcome\n\n\n09:35-10:10\nKeynote\nSetting the scene for integrative structural biology\n \n\nMichael Rout (Rockefeller University)\n\n\n\n\n10:10-12:05\nSession 1\nS4 – Size\, shape\, stoichiometry\, and signals\nTechniques: Mass spec / single molecule & fluorescence imaging / AFM \n\nBrian Chait (Rockefeller University)\nAnthony Fitzpatrick (Columbia University)\nAlisha Jones (New York University)\nRuben Gonzalez (Columbia University)\n\n\n\n\n12:05-14:05\nMid-day Session\nLunch followed by poster sessions\, vendor talks & tours of ASRC and NYSBC.\n\n\n14:05-15:30\nSession 2\nBridging scales from atoms to cells\nTechniques: X-ray / NMR / cryo-EM/ET \n\nChris Lima (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center)\nOlga Boudker (Weill Cornell Medical College)\nAlex de Marco (New York Structural Biology Center)\n\n\n\n\n16:15-17:40\nSession 3\nComputational approaches to combine multi-scale data\nTechniques: Modeling / MD / ML&AI \n\nAmédée des Georges (City University of New York)\nPilar Cossio (Flatiron Institute)\nHashim Al-Hashimi (Columbia University)\n\n\n\n\n17:40-17:45\nClosing\nFarewell and poster prizes\n\n\n17:45\nReception\nLight snacks & drinks\n\n\n\n  \nThis symposium is offered at NO COST but is limited to 100 attendees. \n\nAPPLY TODAY\n\nAbstract deadline: July 14\, 2023. \nApplication deadline: August 18\, 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker bios and further event details can be found here.\n\n\n\n\n  \nWe will reach out to abstract applicants by the beginning of August.

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Melanie Cocco\, University of California Irvine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelanie Cocco\nAssociate Professor\, Molecular Biology & BiochemistryAssociate Professor\, Dept. of Pharmaceutical SciencesUniversity of California\, Irvine\n\n\nProtein Dynamics Determined from NMR Hydrogen Exchange Measurements and Hemoglobin Stability with Voxelotor\n  \nAbstract    NMR spectroscopy provides a measure of protein dynamics in solution that is useful in understanding the relative stabilities of mutants\, drug-bound states\, or homologous proteins.  Hydrogen-deuterium exchange reactions occur during a timescale specific to protein folding events and can provide details on local unfolding and/or global stability.  Here we present three studies of hydrogen exchange in DNA-binding protein domains (DBDs).  The cytidine repressor (CytR) is a bacterial sensor that regulates the production of enzymes needed for nucleic acid production.  CytR has been identified as a target in the treatment of cholera and urinary tract infections.  We compare the structure and stability of the CytR protein to the lactose repressor (LacR).  Hydrogen exchange for another system\, the DBD of the p53 transcription regulator reveals how the structure of this protein can be stabilized by rescue mutations that restore function of this important anti-cancer protein.  A third system\, a thermally stable archaeal bypass polymerase Dbh is shown by hydrogen exchange to maintain structural features in proximity to the catalytic domain at high temperatures.      Hemoglobin is the last system to be discussed.  Voxelotor (aka Oxbryta) is a new drug developed to treat sickle cell disease by binding the hemoglobin tetramer and maintaining the protein in a stable soluble conformation.  We examine the effect of this drug on the natural degradation of hemoglobin in solution. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDownload Melanie Cocco Seminar Flyer \nDownload the updated Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Dr. Cocco will be giving this talk in person at the ASRC Main Auditorium.

SUMMARY:The Science Op-Ed Writing
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 27\, 2023\, at 2 p.m. for the Science of Op-Ed writing with Deb Stead\, a former New York Times op-ed editor and CUNY Journalism School writing coach. \nScientists endeavor to reach conclusions that are objective\, but science exists in a world driven as much by opinion and perception as fact. Additionally\, funding agencies are increasingly requiring grant recipients to show evidence of their efforts to connect their research to the public’s interests. Come check out this month’s webinar where we’ll explore why science op-ed writing is an important tool for scientists and share tips for penning and pitching effective ones. There will be time to discuss your op-ed ideas and opportunity for Q&A. \nPlease sign up for this month’s Communicating Your Science event. And complete this short questionnaire once registered to help us customize the workshop. \nFor more information\, contact Shawn Rhea at srhea@gc.cuny.edu. You can sign up to join our Communicating Your Science list and receive info on all our events at https://bit.ly/3ZbKYu7

SUMMARY:Fall 2023 Photonics Seminar Series: Stefano Gonella\, University of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:In this one-hour seminar\, Stefano Gonella\, University of Minnesota\, will present a talk titled\, \n“From Maxwell bilayers to superkagome lattices.\nThe fate of topological edge modes under increased geometric complexity.“ \nAbstract – Elastic metamaterials are structural materials that owe their unique wave manipulation capabilities to their complex internal architecture. Topological metamaterials are a special subclass of metamaterials whose behavior is controlled by the topology of their phonon bands. In this talk\, I will discuss the mechanics of a class of metamaterials known as topological Maxwell lattices. While these systems have been the object of extensive theoretical investigation\, their treatment has typically been limited to ideal configurations\, confined to the static limit\, and restricted to 2D configurations. \nIn this talk I will address the following questions\, that are both philosophical and practical. What is the fate of topologically protected phenomena\, such as topological edge modes and polarization\, when we increase the level of geometric and kinematic complexity of the lattices\, either by adding dimensions or by considering more intricate inter-cell connectivity? What is their robustness against the onset of the structural non-idealities that are commonly encountered in realistic lattices fabricated using any of the available additive or subtractive manufacturing methods? What new opportunities for mechanical functionality arise from incorporating these effects in their design? \nAssisted by laser vibrometry experiments\, I will show that it is possible to design bilayer structures in which coupling mechanisms transfer the in-plane topological polarization of the individual layers to the out-of-plane degrees of freedom\, leaving a strong signature of topological polarization in the flexural response. Then I will introduce a framework for cell augmentation\, by which one can generate kagome macrocells that can be assembled into “superkagome” lattices\, and I will discuss non-trivial and unexpected connections between the polarization of these macrocells and their primitive counterparts. \nBio – Stefano Gonella is the James L. Record Professor in the Department of Civil\, Environmental and Geo- Engineering at the University of Minnesota. He received Ph.D. and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2007 and 2005\, respectively\, following a Laurea\, also in Aerospace engineering\, from Politecnico di Torino in 2003. Before joining the University of Minnesota\, he was a post-doctoral associate at Northwestern University. His research interests revolve around the modeling\, simulation and experimental characterization of dynamical phenomena in architected materials\, phononic crystals\, and acousto-elastic metamaterials. His latest efforts have been directed towards understanding the role of topological states of matter in the design of mechanical metamaterials. He was recipient of the NSF CAREER award in 2015. During the 2023-2024 academic year he is the William R. Kenan Visiting Professor for Distinguished Teaching at Princeton University. \nDownload the complete seminar flier here: 2023 10 30 Photonics Seminar flier Stefano Gonella \nThis is an in-person seminar.\nIf you opt to join via zoom use: \nMeeting ID\n835 3483 3037 \nPasscode \n841237 \nFurthe questions for this hybrid event can be emailed to: \nLeah Abraha \nlabraha@gc.cuny.edu
