Thiols play critical roles in cell biology. These include maintaining redox homeostasis, as well as the modulation and regulation of protein activity. Dysregulation of thiols has been linked to several diseases including diabetes, cancer, and neurodegenerative disease. For this reason, there is a need for tools for the detection and labeling of thiols. Thiol blocking reagents can be used to label and identification of protein thiols.
Featuring two world premieres and works by Sadler, Rüedi, Wilhelm, and Brusick.

Title: Module Smart Molecules for PSMA-Targeted Chemotherapy
Abstract: Prostate cancer is a dynamic and heterogeneous disease, necessitating a diverse arsenal of targeted chemotherapeutic agents for treatment. The cell-surface enzyme prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a hallmark biomarker for targeted therapy and imaging of prostate cancer. While considerable efforts and…
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are ubiquitous in massive galaxies and grow through the accretion of galactic circumnuclear material. During periods of growth, radiation from these active galactic nuclei(AGNs) can dominate the electromagnetic spectrum.

“A conversation about diversity, equity and inclusion: failures and success”
The accelerated expansion of the Universe is one of the biggest puzzles in physics: Why is gravity repulsive rather than attractive on distance scales larger than a few million lightyears?
Constitutional democracy is under pressure throughout the world. What can be done to reinforce democratic ideals in the U.S. and globally?
Esters are an extremely important class of compounds due to their extensive use. The decomposition of esters through hydrolysis is an extremely slow kinetic process and requires extreme conditions to proceed at a reasonable rate. One catalyst system that shows promise of being able to catalyze this process are Ru complexes bearing tridente-bisphosphinoamino pincer ligands.
Machine learning (ML) is quickly becoming a premier tool for modeling chemical processes and materials. Generally, ML provides a surrogate model trained on the dataset of some reference data. This model establishes a relationship between structure and underlying chemical properties, guiding chemical discovery.
