CBE Seminar: “Backbone Modifications in Peptide Natural Products” (James Link, Princeton University)

Wu and Chen Auditorium (Room 101), Levine Hall 3330 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: The posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in RiPPs (ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides) dictate their 3D structure and their bioactivity. An underlying structural feature of many RiPPs is macrocyclization, installed […]

MSE Seminar: “Kagome Metals and Their Unusual Electronic Properties”

PICS Colloquium with Daniel Tartakovsky: Information Theory of Multiscale Simulations

PICS Conference Room 534 - A Wing , 5th Floor 3401 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

We present an information-theoretic approach for integration of multi-resolution data into multiscale simulations.  Fine-scale information can comprise observational data and/or simulation results related to both system states and system parameters. […]
