SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Laura R. Stingaciu\, Oak Ridge National Lab
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Laura R. Stingaciu\, Instrument Scientist\, Neutron Sciences\, Oak Ridge National Lab \nTitle: The Neutron Spin Echo Spectrometer at SNS and its Biophysics applications \nAbstact: Given the state of human diseases development\, with viruses and bacterial strain more and more resistant to drugs treatments and spontaneous genetic mutations that alter the proper functionality of genes\, it is imperative that alternatives are found to classical peptides synthesis for treatment purposes. Antibodies (Ig) are large Y-shaped molecules produced by the humoral immune system that consist of three equal sized domains connected by flexible linker regions. The internal dynamics of human monoclonal antibodies is of a particular importance for the detection\, recognition and formation of antibodyantigen complexes. Our research focused on refining the internal dynamics of these large multi-domain flexible proteins using experimental scattering methods SAXS (small-angle-Xray scattering)\, SANS (small-angle neutron scattering)\, and NSE (neutron spin echo spectroscopy) combined with computer modeling and simulations. We aimed to identify the correct time scale of the domains motions and\ntheir response to protein environmental conditions in order to understand and access the biomechanics of the docking sites. The ability to temper with binding and docking sites domains in antibody proteins will give us the opportunity to include specific details of the domain dynamics within new complexes and create unique classes of protein that will help to develop improved strategies for drug design. The neutron techniques and the mathematical models applied to describe the domain dynamics of antibodies can also be successfully used to investigate different classes of proteins like intrinsically disordered proteins. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Tobias Baumgart\, Univ of Pennsylvania
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tobias Baumgart\, Professor Physical & Biological Chemistry\, Professor Chem & Biomol Engineering\, Univ of Pennsylvania \nTitle: Mechanisms of Lipid Bilayer Membrane Curvature Generation \nAbstract: Membrane curvature has developed into a forefront of membrane biophysics. Numerous proteins involved in membrane curvature sensing and membrane curvature generation have recently been discovered\, including proteins containing the crescent-shaped BAR domain as membrane binding and shaping module. Accordingly\, the structure of these proteins and their multimeric complexes is increasingly well-understood. Substantially less understood\, however\, are the detailed mechanisms\nof how these proteins interact with membranes in a curvaturedependent manner. New experimental approaches need to be combined with established techniques to be able to fill in these missing details. Furthermore\, an integrated view of the membrane considering at least three conceptual layers is required in order to fully understand the plethora of mechanisms that can contribute to membrane bending. Here we use model membrane systems in combination with a variety of biophysical techniques to characterize mechanistic aspects of lipid membrane shaping\, BAR domain protein function\, and BAR protein / GPCR interactions at the membrane. This includes a characterization of membrane curvature sensing and membrane generation. We present an approach to investigate membrane curvature transitions\, and introduce membrane shape stability diagrams as a powerful tool to enhance the mechanistic understanding of membrane trafficking phenomena\, including endocytosis\, with molecular detail. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Best-Practices for Youth Science Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Youth and Community Engagement\nIn this workshop we’ll explore what ‘engagement’ with youth and community members really means.  Often\, as scientists\, we think our role in public engagement is to bring science out into communities but part of the work is also to bring communities into our work.  In order to build these relationships we have to craft our method of communication which includes both sharing our knowledge and also listening. We will explore some interactive activities to build skills in playful storytelling and how to let our youth and community members be teachers to us as well. Taught by Kendra Krueger\, the ASRC’s Science Education Coordinator and founder of the Community Sensor Lab. Krueger has a BS and MS in electrical engineering and has worked as an educator\, artist and community organizer. \nThere will be opportunity for Q&A. \nYou can sign-up here for this event. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \nCheck out the new Graduate Center Science Communications Academy webpage\, where you can learn about our events and access science communications training tools. \n\nFor more information\, contact Reima Ramsamooj at rramsamooj@gc.cuny.edu.
