Peptide self assembly, evolution, and bioinorganic chemistry. Assistant professor at UIC
We are excited to announce our @J_A_C_S paper on frameworks with metalloprotein-like sites! ɑ-helices designed to assemble by metal-coordination and the hydrophobic effect. Point mutations yield unique frameworks with diverse metalloprotein-like sites. tinyurl.com/jk62cb27
We detail the design & synthesis of metal-ɑ-helix frameworks. If you are just interested in learning how to make #peptides, we have provided a thorough procedure for setting up your first solid phase peptide synthesis (#SPPS)! Article free until Sept 6! tinyurl.com/v47fade9
Check out our latest work on asymmetric Chan-Lam coupling, now out in JACS! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
🚨 New from UIC Chemistry! Led by the Hemley group, this @ScienceMagazine study reports the first 1-dimensional high-entropy oxide nanoribbons — materials that remain stable under extreme heat (1000°C), pressure (up to 12 GPa), and corrosive environments. tinyurl.com/2djw8phs
Our first paper in the battery space is now online @ACS_AMI🔋This study was led by Simon Gersib, who discovered that a certain Mo2 paddlewheel complex has beneficial effects on the Li metal SEI. Thanks to @GlusacGroup, Matt Li, and other collaborators!! doi.org/10.1021/acsami…
Discovery of an Interlocked and Interwoven Molecular Topology in Nanocarbons via Dynamic C–C Bond Formation | Journal of the American Chemical Society @BerkeleyLab @UCBerkeley @uclachem @UCLA pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
New @J_A_C_S from the Adibekian Lab, marking the 3rd JACS from #UIC Chemistry this week! 🍾🍾🍾 Read it here: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Check out our Perspective on Al(II) chemistry in @JACS_Au led by @roushanpsingh. Thanks to the editors for inviting us to participate in their special issue on sustainable small molecule activation! doi.org/10.1021/jacsau…
Metal-α-Helix Peptide Frameworks | Journal of the American Chemical Society @thisisUIC pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
🚨 New in @J_A_C_S : The @GlusacGroup at @UIC has developed a new MOF composed of nanographene ligands (hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene), which acts as a photocatalyst for CO2 reduction using water as the terminal electron donor. Read it here! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
Pi-stacking offers powerful strategies to design structured and functional peptide materials of all dimensions. Check out our review in just out in @TrendsChemistry! tinyurl.com/wcprtvnw
Check out our latest with Mo-catalyzed oxidation reactions. Loving the new Flash Comm format at @Orgmet_ACS pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
The Cho group at #UIC has discovered that colorectal cancers driven by APC loss depend on high membrane cholesterol to activate β-catenin signaling. Blocking cholesterol–Dvl interaction halted tumor growth without harming normal cells. @nchembio tinyurl.com/mc5prces
Now in @NatureComms - The Hu group at UIC developed NHS-ester dye labeling to tag live mammalian cell membranes for superresolution imaging—capturing dynamic protein distribution, cell-cell contacts, nanotube formation, and intercellular transfer in vivo.
Just published: our latest on enhancing cell membrane labeling for live super-resolution imaging! Congrats to Hirushi and team! @HirushiGunasek2 @ChemistryatUIC @thisisUIC @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…
We are hiring a postdoc (or similar) with experience in molecular and cellular neurobiology and neurodegenerative disease models (cellular and animal). Appreciation for MS-based proteomics and lipidomics a must. Interested applicants can email CV to Stephanie. No DMs, please RT
Cooperative Heterobimetallic CO2 Activation Involving a Mononuclear Aluminum(II) Intermediate | Journal of the American Chemical Society @NealMankad @ChemistryatUIC @BYU pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
As Chicago's only public research university, UIC knows that research matters. Over the next several weeks, UIC will highlight the impactful research happening across campus and the importance of investing in this work. We invite you to do the same using #UICResearchMatters
New work from the Mankad group, published in @J_A_C_S, reveals that a bimetallic complex can generate the very rare Al(II) oxidation state.
Our latest Al-Fe research is published in @J_A_C_S. Led by my student Roushan @ChemistryatUIC and our collaboration with Dan Ess of BYU, we are starting to map the chemistry of Al(II) through this mild approach! doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5…

🧪☘️ This St. Patty's Day weekend, we were proud to show prospective graduate students from around the country what UIC Chemistry and Chicago is all about!
