This presentation focuses on the development and application of DNA as a catalyst (deoxyribozyme). Our initial studies of DNA catalysts have focused on issues of chemical selectivity, especially regioselectivity and site-selectivity during ligation of two RNA substrates. More recently, our efforts are expanding to study deoxyribozymes that catalyze reactions of non-oligonucleotide substrates, including substrates that are small-molecule compounds and peptides, with an eye towards applications in vitro and in vivo.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EFor more information contact \u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:aoyelere@gatech.edu\u0022\u003EDr. Yomi Oyelere\u003C\/a\u003E (404-894-4047).\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"Prof. Scott Silverman, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign\n\nDNA as a Catalyst for Bioorganic Chemistry","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Prof. Scott Silverman, U of Illinois, Urbana-Cham."}],"uid":"27275","created_gmt":"2008-01-18 01:00:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:57:24","author":"Shirley Tomes","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2008-10-16T16:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2008-10-16T17:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2008-10-16T17:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2008-10-16 20:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2008-10-16 21:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2008-10-16 21:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.scs.uiuc.edu\/chem\/faculty\/Scott_Silverman.html","title":"Scott Silverman"}],"groups":[{"id":"85951","name":"School of Chemistry and Biochemistry"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"89","name":"chemistry"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cstrong\u003EShirley Tomes\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EChemistry \u0026amp; Biochemistry\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/www.gatech.edu\/contact\/index.html?id=st81\u0022\u003EContact Shirley Tomes\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E404-894-0591\u003C\/strong\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
