New delocalization pathways in conjugated materials

In a collaboration with chemists at Georgetown University and University of Oregon, the The Tovar Group engineered radial conjugation pathways into pi-conjugated systems that are traditionally made up of linear pathways.

The Greenberg Group

The Greenberg Group discovered that DNA methylation produces deleterious DNA-protein cross-links in the chromatin of cellular DNA, which could influence how biologists think about the cytotoxicity of drugs such as temozolomide (used to treat glioblastoma) and lead to improvements in how cells are damaged by DNA alkylation.

The Goldberg Group

The Goldberg Group reports a series of sequentially formed peroxo(diiron), FeIV(O), and FeIII(OH) complexes from the reaction of a thiolate-ligated nonheme iron complex with O2. These complexes improve our understanding of the fundamental process of dioxygen activation by iron complexes and the related sulfur-ligated nonheme iron enzymes.

The Fried Group

The Fried Group discovered that roughly one half of the proteins in E. coli are non-refoldable, meaning that once they are denatured, they cannot navigate back to their native states. This calls into question Anfinsen’s hypothesis that thermodynamics is the sole determinant of proteins’ native structures.
