DESCRIPTION:ASRC – City College of New York Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign \nSEMINAR LOCATION:\nASRC Main Auditorium\, 85 Saint Nicholas Terrace\nThe speaker will be giving this talk online\, viewable in the ASRC Main Auditorium. Non-CUNY attendees need to register in advance; please see details below.* \nTHIS SEMINAR MAY ALSO BE VIEWED REMOTELY VIA ZOOM:\nhttps://gc-cuny.zoom.us/j/91637964386\nMeeting ID:  916 3796 4386\nPasscode:  asrc+ccny \n\nChristiane Riedel\nProfessor\, Department of Biology\nCentre International de Recherche en Infectiologie (CIRI)\nÉcole Normale Supérieure de Lyon\, Lyon\, France\n\nUnravelling virus architecture and entry employing cryo electron tomography\nAbstract    Cryo electron tomography (CET) is a powerful technique to elucidate virus architecture and virus replication cycles. It has opened up the possibility to study structures of complex viruses and virus cell interactions in a frozen\, hydrated state\, thereby preserving biological features in near native conditions. Employing this technical approach\, we determined the structure of the rabies virus ribonucleoprotein in intact virus particles to 15Å resolution and demonstrated morphological differences to the related vesicular stomatitis virus. Employing murine leukaemia virus as a model system\, we elucidated structural changes of Env during interaction with host cells\, demonstrating an elongation of the protein when in contact with the host cell. Lastly\, the experimental systems needed to study virus host interactions by CET will be discussed based on our work with bovine viral diarrhoea virus.  \n* Dr. Riedel will be giving this talk online via Zoom. Participants have the option to view either online or from the ASRC Main Auditorium. For non-CUNY attendees: advance registration is required; please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu no later than Monday\, Feb. 25 for entry to the ASRC. \nDownload the flyer for this event here: \n20240228_Riedel_Flyer \nSee the complete speaker schedule for this seminar series here: \nBiochem Speaker Meeting Schedule 2024

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Thomas Kurtzman\, Lehman College\, City University of New York
DESCRIPTION:ASRC – City College of New York Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign \nSEMINAR LOCATION:\nASRC Main Auditorium\, 85 Saint Nicholas Terrace\nThe speaker will be giving this talk in person in the ASRC Main Auditorium.

When a drug is unbound\, the structure and thermodynamics of water in the binding site reveal information that can be used to inform the discovery of lead drug compounds and their subsequent rational optimization. We will discuss how computer simulations and statistical mechanical liquid state theory can be used to map out the properties of water on the surface of proteins and how these ‘maps’ may be used to improve modern drug discovery and optimization efforts. \n* Dr. Kurtzman will be giving this talk in person at the ASRC Main Auditorium.

SUMMARY:Fall 2023 Photonics Seminar Series: Margherita Maiuri\, Politecnico de Milano
DESCRIPTION:Ultrafast nanophotonics: harnessing light and manipulating matter through femtosecond multidimensional spectroscopies \nAbstract – Ultrafast manipulation of light-matter interactions in photonic nano-architectures has unlocked unprecedented opportunities in the field of nanophotonics\, ranging from high speed signal processing to the control of photophysical material functionalities. Especially\, using optical means\, e.g. femtosecond laser light pulses\, to actively drive and dynamically reconfigure nanostructures with ultrafast speed is among the most promising approaches. In this context\, I will discuss our contribution to design and experimentally demonstrate the control and the functionality of optically active photonic nanostrucutres in different scenarios.\nFirst I will present how ultrafast hot carrier spatial inhomogeneities at the nanoscale can manifest and even dominate the transient transmission of photonic metasurfaces [1]. We theoretically predicted and experimentally observed by pump-probe spectroscopy that spatiotemporal dynamics of hot electrons can promote and control an ultrafast photoinduced anisotropy in plasmonic metasurfaces\, enabling active reconfiguration of the nanostructure nonlinear response [2\,3]. Then\, I will discuss how we have exploited two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) to study a microcavity composed of donor and acceptor organic molecules spatially separated by a 2-μm-thick spacer in the strong coupling regime. 2DES is particularly useful for this aim because it combines high temporal and spectral resolution and allows to disentangle spectrally congested ultrafast processes by generating a series of 2D excitation/detection frequency spectra as a function of time. The possibility to separate emitted signals that come from the excitation of different energy states\, allows an easy overview of the entire electronic energy transfer mechanisms [4]. Finally\, I will propose a new paradigm for controlling physico-chemical processes will be proposed\, where we envision that optical metacavities can be activated by light to tailor molecular dynamics on demand [5]. By exploiting optical nanostructures\, ultrashort laser light pulses and strong light- matter interactions\, we aim at manipulating in real-time molecular reactions\, with applications ranging from photovoltaics to photocatalysis.\n[1] A.

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Rachel Narehood Austin\, Barnard College\, Columbia University
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! The final speaker of this fall series\, Rachel Narehood Austin\, Professor in the Dept. of Chemistry at Barnard College\, Columbia University\, will present a talk titled\, “Exploring the structure and function of alkane monooxygenase (AlkB): a key metalloenzyme in the carbon cycle.”  \nABSTRACT Alkane hydroxylase (AlkB) is a membrane-spanning non-heme diiron enzyme with a histidine-rich coordination site\, first identified 50 years ago\, responsible for catalyzing the hydroxylation of the majority of medium-to-long straight chain alkanes in the environment. AlkB catalyzes the hydroxylation of terminal alkanes\, the epoxidation of alkenes\, and\, in selected cases\, the desaturation of alkanes. Despite its importance in the global carbon cycle\, relatively little is known about this large and widely-distributed class of\nhydroxylases. We have studied the reaction mechanism and substrate specificity of AlkB from Pseudomonas putida GPo1\, the marine organism Alcanivorax borkumensis AP1\, Dietzea cinnamea\, and Fontimonas thermophila. We have recently solved the cryo-EM structure of AlkB from Fontimonas thermophila. Integrating information from targeted mutations\,\nreactivity studies\, and the three-dimensional structure has shed light on structure-function relationships in this important class of integral membrane monooxygneases\, while raising additional questions to be solved. \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. \n To join via Zoom: \nMeeting ID: 966 7763 1144\nPasscode: asrc-ccny \nFor more information about this hybrid event\, please contact: \nLauren Gohara\nlgohara@ccny.cuny.edu\n(212) 650-8803

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: Julien Orts\, University of Vienna
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! This week’s speaker\, Julien Orts\, Assistant Professor in the Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of Vienna\, Austria\, will be presenting a talk titled\, \n“Lead Generation without an X-Ray Crystal Structure: An NMR Method to Probe Protein- Ligand Complexes.” \nABSTRACT X-ray crystallography molecular replacement (MR) is a highly versatile tool for the detailed characterization of lead compound and binding modes in the pharmaceutical industry. The two major limitations of its application to drug research are (i) the availability of a similar protein structure\, and (ii) obtaining well-diffracting crystals of the ligand-protein complexes of interest. While nowadays the first point is often not a limitation anymore\, obtaining well-diffracting crystals may be difficult. In such situations structure determination of protein-ligand complexes by liquid-state NMR is a good option. Unfortunately\, the established standard structure determination protocol is in general time-consuming\, and a shortcut using available structural data as in the case of MR in X-ray crystallography is not available.\nHere\, we present NMR2 (NMR Molecular Replacement)\, a MR-like approach in NMR to determine the structures of the binding pockets of ligands at atomic resolution. The calculation of structures of protein-ligand complexes relies on the collection of unassigned semi-quantitative inter-molecular NOE distance restraints and on previously solved structures. The NMR2 method uses a high throughput structure calculation protocol\, rather than a docking- scoring simulation. It is fast since it requires only a few days of measuring time and bypasses the time-consuming sequential assignment steps for the protein.\nWe will present multiple NMR2 applications covering several ligand topologies ranging from peptidomimetic to small molecules that bind strongly or weakly to protein receptors. We also report how NMR2 can make use of partially labelled protein using methyl-specific isotope labelling. Finally\, we will present our latest methodology development to further advance the technique. Our findings demonstrate that NMR2 may open an avenue for the fast and robust determination of the binding pocket structure of ligand-protein complexes at atomic resolution. \n*Dr. Orts will be giving this talk via ZOOM. The Zoom broadcast may be viewed remotely\, or in the ASRC Main Auditorium. For non-CUNY in-person attendees: advance registration is required; please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu no later than Monday\, Nov. 27 for entry to the ASRC. \nDownload Julien Orts Seminar Flyer \nDownload the updated Fall 2023 Seminar Schedule \n\nTo view this seminar: \nMeeting ID:  966 7763 1144\nPasscode:  asrc-ccny

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: James Prestegard\, University of Georgia
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! This week’s speaker\, Emeritus Professor in the Dept. of Chemistry and Dept. of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Georgia\, James Prestegard\, will present a talk titled\, “NMR in the age of AI; What can it tell us about glycans and glycoproteins?”  \nAbstract    Artificial Intelligence (AI) has had an impact on structural biology\, both by providing structures of proteins that allow us to focus more on their functional properties and by providing tools that allow us to analyze data more efficiently. I will present two examples from our NMR investigation of glycans and glycoproteins; one applying new resonance assignment strategies for the sparsely isotope labeled glycoprotein\, CEACAM1\, and one applying a neural net analysis to ring conformations of a monosaccharide found in heparin. Both provide insight into properties of molecules that impact our health\, but they also provide an opportunity to learn about the potential and limitations of some exciting new tools for structural biology. \nDownload James. H. Prestegard Seminar Flyer \n* Dr. Prestegard will be giving this talk in person at the ASRC Main Auditorium.

SUMMARY:ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign: D. Allan Drummond\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the fall semester ASRC-CCNY Seminar Series in Biochemistry\, Biophysics and Biodesign every Wednesday at noon! This week’s speaker\, Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Chicago\, D. Allan Drummond\, will present a talk titled\, “Rethinking the cellular stress response.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract    Cells across the tree of life react to sudden maladaptive changes–stresses–in consistent ways. Proteins and mRNAs aggregate\, most protein synthesis halts\, and mRNAs encoding chaperones\, long considered components of a protein-misfolding rescue system\, are massively expressed and selectively translated. Heat shock\, oxidative stress\, starvation\, and other so-called proteotoxic stresses trigger similar reactions\, leading to the model that stress-induced formation of toxic misfolded aggregates is the central challenge met by cellular responses. However\, evidence has mounted for a fundamentally different coexisting model: that cells use biomolecular condensation to sense and transduce stress\, that condensation reorganizes the cell to redirect activity toward stress-appropriate programs\, and that chaperones are major regulators of condensation. Rather than toxic aggregates\, the central phenomena are adaptive condensates. I will discuss the unique aspects of adaptive condensation\, both empirical and conceptual\, with an emphasis on open questions.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nDownload D.
