[Aspuru-Guzik group list] House warming party (final call)

by Guerreschi, Gian

Dear colleagues, dear friends, All the bedrooms of my house are now filled with interesting people: It is now time to warm up the atmosphere! Together with my roommates I will give an house-warming party on Saturday, May 11th. You all are invited! Obviously the invitation extend to your partner, important one, better half (or study buddy). All the info here: http://i.imgur.com/dU6KVhg.jpg Please, notice that the party has a theme! We will provide some drinks, but you are invited to bring your favorite ones. There will be some small snacks too. And loud music. Please, let me know if you are coming! Cheers, Gian G

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Paul Brumer Visit on May 9-10

by Cynthia M. Chew

Hi group, Prof. Paul Brumer (University of Toronto, http://www.chem.toronto.edu/ppl/faculty_profile.php?id=7) will be visiting CCB on May 9-10 to give a talk as part of the CCB-ITAMP seminar series. Seminar details are below. 1) Our group will be meeting with him on Friday May 10 from 11-12pm in the Division Room. Please let me know if you will be attending. 2) If you cannot make the scheduled time above and/or would like to have a one-on-one meeting w/Prof. Brumer there are times available on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning and I can arrange those. 3) ITAMP will be hosting student lunches w/Prof. Brumer on May 9 & 10. If you are interested in attending, please contact John Parkhill. Thanks, Cynthia May 10 - Prof. Paul Brumer, Chemical Physics Theory Group, Dept of Chemistry, University of Toronto Seminar: 2pm @ Phillips Auditorium at Center for Astrophysics (60 Garden St.) http://www.chem.toronto.edu/ppl/faculty_profile.php?id=7 “Environmentally Assisted Quantum Control of Molecular Processes (and possibly a little CMB)" Coherent control is an approach in which quantum interference effects are imprinted on a system in order to alter the outcome of a molecular process. However, such control is often inhibited by decoherence, a ubiquitous process in which the quantum characteristics of an open system are lost due to interaction with the surrounding environment. Interestingly, however, ``one-photon phase control" is a case where one can utilize the environment to assist in the quantum control of a system. We will introduce this topic and outline the physics that leads to an understanding of one-photon environmentally assisted control. An interesting link to ``canonical non-typicality" will be explained, and computations based on a master equation approach discussed. Further, if time permits, a proposal (admittedly unrelated) to explore an interesting feature of the CMB will be described.

Single-wavelength anomalous diffraction (SAD) is a technique used in X-ray crystallography that facilitates the determination of the structure of proteins and other biological macromolecules by allowing the solution of the phase problem. SAD uses a single dataset acquired at a single X-ray wavelength. The Sulfur SAD phasing method enables the determination of protein structures de novo without the use of heavy metal derivatives or Se-methionine substitutions. The contribution to the anomalous term from sulfur atoms for copper K-alpha radiation is very small, as a result making the Bijvoet differences very small and hard to measure accurately. In this one-hour interactive webinar, Dr. Dimitri Chirgadze, University of Cambridge, and Dr. Michael Ruf and Dr. Matthew Benning, Bruker AXS, will lead you on a fascinating look into some examples of successful structure determination by Sulfur SAD phasing. They will highlight what strategies a researcher can implement in order to utilize this technique with a standard in-house copper radiation source. Results of a Thaumatin protein SAD phasing experiment with Bruker's gallium METALJET<http://my.bruker.com/acton/ct/2655/s-0115-1305/Bct/l-0034/l-0034:aaf/ct2_0/1> source will also be presented.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] bittorrent sync andd mendeley advisor

by Man-Hong Yung

Dear All, I would like to share with you a couple of ways that may help your research life easier. 1. Check out Bittorrent sync, which allows you to sync your really BIG files using the famous BT technology, and securely. http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html It works for me very well. 2. Check out the Mendeley advisor program. You need to apply and get approved by the team; so make your profile more professional. I have just got for FREE 10.0 GB personal library space, 1000 groups, 20.0 GB group library space, 10 collaborators http://www.mendeley.com/advisors/ Yours truly, Man Hong ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Man-Hong Yung Postdoctoral Fellow Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University mhyung(a)chemistry.harvard.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------
