Department of Chemistry Seminar – Today!

The Department of Chemistry invites you to its departmental seminar today, Monday, April 27, at 4:10 p.m. in Fulmer Hall, room 438.

Dr. Jiantao Guo from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will present, Reprogramming Codon Language for Biological Investigations and Applications.

Abstract: The goal of this research is to reprogram genetic code so that unnatural building blocks and regulatory elements can be readily introduced into biological system. One widely explored example is to reassign nonsense codon to encode unnatural amino acids that contain useful biophysical probes or chemical handles. In a second example, I will present a relative new application of nonsense codon reassignment in vaccine development. Finally, I will discuss our recent work on quadruplet codon decoding and its implications in reading frame maintenance.
