SUMMARY:Engineered Living Materials for the Built Environment Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Engineered Living Materials for the Built Environment Exhibition. Engineered Living Materials is an exciting area of study combining engineered microbes in polymeric materials using additive manufacturing (3D printing). Based on cutting-edge\, NSF-funded Engineered Living Material (ELM) research that integrates synthetic biology with polymer science\, graduate students in Architecture envision how this new material category could be integrated into buildings and cities of the future. The interdisciplinary work combines material science\, computational design\, 3D-printed material samples\, and design projects that leverage the potential of these innovative materials. \nThis work is part of an NSF EFRI ELiS research grant at the University of Washington\, led by Professor Nelson\, Chemistry\, in collaboration with Professor Olánrewájú\, Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering\, Professor Proksch\, Architecture\, and researchers at the University of Texas at Austin\nand the University of California Davis (https://elis.be.uw.edu/).

SUMMARY:Summer Synthetic Biology Talk_Taku Miztuntani: Exploring Enzymes Catalyzing the Formation of Non-Canonical Amino Acids
DESCRIPTION:This Wednesday\, Prof. Taku Miztutani\, an assistant professor in Prof. Abe’s laboratory at the University of Tokyo will present. He will be giving a talk on his work for non-canonical amino acid biochemistry\, biocatalysis\, & biosynthesis. \nTalk Title: Exploring Enzymes Catalyzing the Formation of Non-Canonical Amino Acids\nTalk Abstract: Non-canonical aminoacids (NCAAs) serve as valuable building blocks for the structurally and functionally diverse bioactive compounds. Enzymatic synthesis offers a highly efficient and selective approach to accessing these molecules\, owing to the remarkable regio- and stereoselectivity of enzymatic transformations\, as well as their compatibility with mild reaction conditions. In this presentation\, I will discuss our recent efforts to discover and characterize bacterial enzymes capable of catalyzing the modification of standard amino acids to form functionalized NCAAs\, mainly about the biosynthesis of α-hydroxy-β-amino acids(norstatines). \n
