(Tahlequah, Okla.) Dr. Susanne Striegler from the University of Arkansass Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry will be the fifth speaker for Northeastern State Universitys Science and Technology Seminar Series on Wednesday, Nov. 5.
She will be presenting her lecture Macromolecular Glycosidase Mimics or How to Teach Old Metal Complexes New Tricks. She will explain how to transform transitional metal complexes into selective macromolecular catalysts by immobilizing them in template micro- and nanogels.
Strieglers research interests include organic chemistry, such as: carbohydrates, glycosidases, catalysis, molecular recognition, micro- and nanogels. In her research the material is designed to transform carbohydrates into other, useful entities, such as unnatural sugars and facilitate access to oligosaccharides and new glycosides.
The Science & Technology Seminar Series is arranged by Dr. John de Banzie, professor of biology. There is no charge for the seminars and they are open to all who wish to attend.
The seminar is in the Science building, Room 160 at 3 p.m. at NSU Tahlequah.
