Thursday, 17 May 2007: 1:50 PM-4:50 PM
Auditorium (100) (Pfahler Hall)
ADME/Tox: Drug-Drug Interactions: How to Screen for, Anticipate and Minimize Them
This session will introduce the topic of metabolic drug-drug interactions. The enzyme kinetics and pharmacokinetics of drug interactions will be presented, as this will serve as a foundation for the subsequent talks. Two presentations will describe drug interactions caused by perpetrator drugs or new chemical entities (induction and inhibition of drug-metabolizing enzymes). The fourth presentation will describe drugs and new chemical entities as victims of drug interactions. Each presentation will describe the clinical consequences of drug interactions, nonclinical (in vitro) studies and screens, and in vitro-in vivo correlations.

Session: Alternative Energy Sources for Stationary Power Generation and Transportation Applications
Thursday, 17 May 2007: 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
209 (Pfahler Hall)
Alternative Energy Sources for Stationary Power Generation and Transportation Applications
Securing alternative energy sources to oil in an effort to sustain US growth and competitiveness and preserve national security has become the mantra since the Presidential State of the Union Address in January of 2006. In keeping with this theme, the Alternative Energy Symposium is concerned with topics related to energy generation for both stationary and transportation end uses. In particular this session is concerned with alternative energy sources beyond biomass to ethanol. Technical contributions are planned to come from various fields related to solar energy, H2 fuel cells, microbial fuel cells, biomass to H2, and wind power. The Alternative Energy session is intentionally broad and, given the range of subject matter and timeliness of the topics, should prove to be very dynamic session and attract a diverse audience.

Session: Protein Structure: Unfolded States & Local Disruptions
Friday, 18 May 2007: 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
107 (Pfahler Hall)
Protein Structure: Unfolded States & Local Disruptions
Unfolded proteins and peptides have become a major focus of biochemical and biophysical research. One of the classical dogmas of protein science was that proteins have to adopt a well defined structure in order to function. However, due to the work of Dunker, Wright, Usversky and others a large number of proteins and peptides have been identified which are naturally unfolded and still function. In addition to biologically functioning unfolded molecules some of proteins/peptides have been identified, which are unfolded and prone to aggregation into fibrils which are involved in diseases like Parkinson. Additionally, the unfolded state of naturally folded peptides and proteins has attracted a lot of attention owing to the fact that it might be much less disordered than assumed. The three invited speakers cover different areas of research in this newly emerging field. Dr. Schwalbe, who is one of leading NMR-scientists in Europe, will talk about how to use NMR to explore the structure of unfolded proteins. Dr. Garcia is a theoretician, he will talk about the aggregation of the (unfolded) beta-amyloid peptide (the reason for Alzheimers) and Dr. Raleigh will address the issue of how random an unfolded state really is. Contributed papers are welcome.

Workshop:Teaching Forensics
This workshop is intended primarily for high school teachers who want to incorporate forensics themed laboratory experiments into the chemistry curriculum. Several experiments will be demonstrated including: a TLC analysis of inks and lipsticks; an identification of fabrics using infrared spectroscopy, microscopy, and selective dyeing; an immunoassay laboratory experiment incorporating the principles of diffusion and precipitation; and soil analysis illustrating the principles of pH, particle size distribution, and moisture content. Many of the experimental methods can be incorporated into a crime scene scenario. An example of such an integrated laboratory experiment will be described.

Regional Chemagination Competition
For this competition, high school students are asked to imagine that they are living 25 years in the future and have been invited to write an article for ChemMatters, a magazine for high school students that focuses on the role of chemistry in everyday life. The subject of the article is: �Describe a recent breakthrough or innovation in chemistry and/or its applications that has improved the quality of people�s lives today.� The article is written to fit in one of four categories (either Alternative Energy Sources, Environment, Medicine/Health, or New Materials.) In addition to the article, students are asked to design a cover for the magazine. The article must be written as if the student is living in the year 2032, looking back at innovations that have occurred since 2007. First place category winners from local ACS section competitions are eligible to participate. If a first place winner cannot participate for any reason, sections can elect to send an alternate team. If your section did not hold a local competition, interested students could participate directly at the regional level (contact coordinators for more details).
