SUMMARY:Seminar in Biochemistry\, Biophysics & Biodesign: Amy Palmer\, Univ of Colorado Boulder
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amy Palmer\, Professor\, Department of Biochemistry\, University of Colorado Boulder \nTitle: Illuminating the Biochemistry of Zinc and RNA in Living Cells \nAbstract: The Palmer lab develops fluorescent tools to illuminate the biochemistry of living cells\, specifically the roles of metal ions such as zinc and biomolecules such as RNA. There are over two thousand proteins encoded by the human genome that are predicted to bind zinc\, where zinc binding is essential for function.  Given the importance of Zn2+ in cell biology and human health\, it is astounding that we still don’t understand the mechanisms of how Zn2+ levels and dynamics impact basic cellular functions and give rise to disease.  This talk will focus on our discoveries that Zn2+ dynamics influence fundamental cellular processes such as gene expression\, interactions between transcription factors and chromatin at the single molecule level\, and the proliferation-quiescence decision in the mammalian cell cycle.  I will also discuss our ongoing efforts to develop a fluorescent tool for illuminating RNA called Riboglow.  Recently\, we developed a new platform for tagging mRNA and ncRNA with fluorophores to track them in live cells.  This highly modular ‘Riboglow’ platform leverages different color fluorescent dyes\, linkers and riboswitch RNA tags to elicit fluorescent turn-on upon binding RNA. \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: Gerhard Wagner\, Harvard Medical Sch
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Gerhard Wagner\, Professor\, Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology\, Harvard Medical School \nTitle: Characterizing membrane proteins in native membranes without tricks \nAbstract: Structural and functional studies of membrane proteins require the membrane proteins be placed in membrane mimicking environments. Often this is pursued by using detergent micelles\, and stable complexes are obtained by cross-linking and/or adding antibodies or nanobodies. More recently\, phospholipid nanodiscs have been employed as better membrane surrogates. We have designed covalently circularized nanodiscs (cNDs) that can provide stable environments for studies of membrane proteins and their complexes with soluble proteins. We have used NMR\, cryoEM and other biophysical methods to study the neurotensin receptor NTR1 in complex with the heterotrimeric G protein Gi in a covalently circularized nanodisc. No crosslinking\, antibodies or nanobodies were used as complex stability was obtained by the placement in cNDs. We are using nanodiscs also for other small membrane proteins in complexes with soluble proteins. \nFor more information about this seminar and about joining in online\, please contact Hyacinth Camillieri at hcamillieri@gc.cuny.edu

SUMMARY:Science Op-Ed Writing Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:From the coronavirus pandemic to climate change and the digital technologies that order our daily lives\, the public’s ability to understand the science behind these advances and how to advocate for its long-term support and proper\, fair use is more important than ever. The voice of scientists is critical in signaling the impact and importance of a discovery and advocating for good scientific policies. Our February Science Op-ed Writing Bootcamp will take you through the elements of creating a compelling opinion piece that informs and helps the public take actions to ensure that science improves their lives and the planet. We’ll cover: \n\nElements and structure of a science opinion piece\nIdentifying your audience\nSelecting publications for your pitch\nWorking with the Graduate Center to place your op-ed\n\nThis event has now passed – watch a recording of the workshop below.
