Large Scale Molecular Modeling of Biomass and the Molecules that Torture It
Michael Crowley, senior scientist at the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory (NREL) in Colorado, will speak as part of the 2010-11 EBI
Seminar Series.
The abstract:
Modeling of cell wall components degrading enzymes has taken on an essential role in the search for both understanding of cell walls and cell wall digestion. Our research is directly connected to the experimental efforts at NREL to understand and design better enzymes, cellulosomes, and pretreatments. This presentation will highlight our work to understand cellulose microfibril shape and morphology, thermodynamics of decrystalization, cellulase processive digestion of cellulose, and cellulosome assembly and function. Our primary successes are to discover the internal hydrogen bonding networks in microfibrils at both room temperature and high temperature, determining both the thermodynamic price for decrystallization of cellulose, and the expulsion of cellobiose from Cel7A cellulase and to suggest ways to improve both the substrate and mutate the enzyme for more efficient digestion.
Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics.

When Larry Eigner arrived in this world "palsied from a hard birth" the accepted view was that the severity of his injury made him uneducable. An inspired bar-mitzvah gift of a 1940 Royal portable typewriter opened a pathway to his becoming a poet.
This event celebrates the publication in four folio volumes of the Collected Poems of Larry Eigner.
POETS/SPEAKERS. Robert Grenier, Lyn Hejinian, Richard Eigner, Rebecca Gaydos, Kit Robinson, Michael Davidson, George Hart, Albert Gelpi, Hillary Gravendyk, Jack and Adelle Foley, Norma Cole, and Robert Hass.
