Catalytic Alkyne Functionalization for Use in Organic Synthesis Transition metals interact with alkynes to form s-alkynyl, p-alkyne and vinylidene complexes that often exist in dynamic equilibrium with one another, while

"My journey from molecules to media" Dr. Berman received her AB from Barnard College in 1964. She trained in crystallography with George Jeffrey at the University of Pittsburgh where she

Discovery and characterization of a novel family of PIEZO channel auxiliary subunits PIEZO channels are critical cellular sensors of mechanical forces. Native PIEZO1 channels can display nonuniform subcellular localization and

Sequence-defined macromolecules with tunable non-interacting sites for advanced materials design Hierarchical self-assembly of functional materials with predictable properties requires the design and synthesis of programmable building blocks that encode information

Modulation of amyloid assembly by chaperone-like proteins Soluble proteins have an inherent propensity to undergo altered protein folding, forming cross-B sheet-rich structures called amyloids. Amyloid fibrils have gained significant attention

LC-MS Metabolomics Reveals the Role of SLC45A4 in GABA de novo Synthesis Affiliations: 1 Departments of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Rutgers University; 2 Metabolomics Shared

Single-molecule biophysical approaches to studying the mechanisms of motor proteins Ribosomes are molecular machines made of protein and RNA that translate mRNA into proteins. The biogenesis of new ribosomes is

Illuminating and designing specificity of protein interactions using computation and experiment Selective molecular recognition of cognate binding partners and substrates (and non-recognition of non-cognate interaction partners) by proteins is a

Mechanisms of Bacillus subtilis biofilm formation - opportunities and limitations of AlphaFold B.subtilis biofilms contain non-amyloid filaments composed of folded TasA protomers. Interactions of the biofilm proteins TapA and TasA

Pieces for a metal-alkoxide mediated mechanism in the hydrogenation and dehydrogenative coupling of carbonyl compounds There is great interest at present to use transition-metal complexes to catalyze the dehydrogenative coupling
