Upcoming Seminar
The "Rippled" Beta-Sheet: An Old Theory by Pauling and Corey Inspires New Biomaterial
Dr. Jevgenij Raskatov, UC Santa Cruz
December 11, 2024
4:00pm-5:00pm via Zoom
Meeting ID: 854 2562 1667
The rippled sheet was predicted by Linus Pauling and Robert Corey in 1953. This structural motif is distinct from the pleated beta-sheet we all know from textbooks. It took decades before experimentalists began studying this intriguing fold. It was not until 2022 (!) that crystallographic unambiguous validation was provided by our lab. This lecture reports on the recent crystal structural advances in the field and how this may lead to new materials.
Seminars are held on Wednesdays at 4:00pm. All are invited to attend.
