Active Learning Approaches and Examples

The definition of active learning depends on who you ask.  The approaches are widely varying with different levels of student success. Today’s presentation will be a discussion of what constitutes active learning.  To help illustrate the concept, activities will be presented that are used in the presenter's classroom. It is hoped that attendees will leave with a better understanding of how active learning can be implemented in their…

The Many-Body Expansion in Chemistry

The Many-Body Expansion (MBE) of the energy of a chemical system is a powerful tool that encodes physical descriptors of cooperative effects in chemical systems. Depending on the definition of what a “body” is, the expansion can be applied to a wide variety of chemical ensembles. When applied to hydrogen bonded systems, such as water and aqueous ionic clusters including ions in the Hofmeister series, it has direct implications in the development…


Structural Basis for Catalytic Diversity in the Carotenoid Oxygenase Superfamily

Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) are mononuclear non-heme iron enzymes that classically split carotenoids at specific alkene bonds producing apocarotenoid products. Certain members of this enzyme superfamily have evolved to process alternative substrates with varying regio- and stereo-selectivity, and some catalyze alternative reactions including alkene geometric isomerization and ester hydrolysis. Products of these reactions are vital…
