Li have recently demonstrated that carbonyl derivatives could be used in a similar fashion to Grignard reagents using a smart Umpolung strategy and thus replaced organometallic-based reagents for nucleophilic carbonyl addition reactions for alcohol synthesis.</p> Thu, 23 Feb 2017 22:01:05 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 1004 at /chemistry /chemistry/channels/news/virtual-protein-engineering-towards-improved-biocatalysts-257676 <p>As part of a new venture in the Moitessier research group, recent Ph.D graduate, Josh Pottel, has delved into developing software to guide protein engineering. Computers can be used to simulate the shape and function of a protein or enzyme, but need the correct tools to be able to create accurate models. An initial platform for generating and applying new side-chain (rotamer) libraries has shown promise as the foundation for a biocatalysis prediction software.</p> Sun, 10 Jan 2016 03:51:50 +0000 audrey.moores@mcgill.ca 838 at /chemistry /chemistry/current-graduate-students/forward <p>This page is designed to answer questions related to performing your research efficiently.
