2018 Rosalind Franklin Award Joshua Riback(Biophysical Sciences, University of Chicago)
The APS Users Organization (APSUO) is pleased to
announce that the winner of the 2018 APSUO Rosalind
Franklin Young investigator Award is Joshua Riback,
a graduate student in the Biophysical Sciences at the
University of Chicago. Riback was recognized for his work
using small-angle x-ray scattering techniques (SAXS)
at the APS to study biophysical interactions.
Riback’s research focuses on the link between the
biophysical properties of macromolecules and the
principles of biological phenomena, such as subcellular
localization and compartmentalization, evolution, and
fitness. By focusing on how proteins respond to an
increase in temperature, Riback is working toward
understanding the breadth of mechanisms utilized in
the temperature-dependence and specificity of protein
assembly. Ultimately, the goal is to extrapolate these
mechanisms to other biological signals or stresses,
so as to develop our understanding of the physical basis
and cellular benefits of assembly.
Riback’s research has so far resulted in two ground-
breaking papers that utilized and advanced the application
of SAXS, using the BioCAT beamline at the APS. The
first is “Stress-triggered phase separation is an adaptive,
evolutionary tuned response,” (Riback et al., Cell 2017). in
it, Riback and the team demonstrated the reconstitution
of a physiologically relevant phase separation process
in vitro under physiological conditions, a first. Using SAXS
at the APS, his results connected the unusual biophysical
properties of a specific molecule to the cell’s capacity to
grow during stress, a major advance for the field.
The second paper, “innovative scattering analysis shows
that hydrophobic disordered proteins are expanded in
water” (Riback et al., Science 2017), developed a new
method to extract the dimensions of disordered proteins
and the strength of intra-protein interactions from a single
SAXS measurement. The information contained within
SAXS experiments is often difficult to extract. This is
especially true for polymers, including intrinsically
disordered proteins (iDPs), where data are fit with analytical
functions assuming a Gaussian random walk developed
decades ago. But by using the advantages provided by
the APS (namely, elimination of aggregates and improper
subtraction and high signal to noise as a result of the
high intensity of the APS)—coupled with advances in
computation—Riback and team developed a molecular
form factor (MFF) to quantify the properties of polymers
including size and shape.
Simply put, Riback’s analysis procedure resolves the
challenge of how to accurately extract gyration and
solvent quality for disordered proteins and polymers.
The application of Riback’s new analysis to a set of
three iDPs challenged the widely held view that the
unfolded states of proteins are collapsed globules under
physiological conditions. Although these three iDPs
have low-net charge and hydrophobicity typical of well-
folded proteins, each is highly expanded in the absence
of denaturant.
The combination of Riback’s high-data quality and new
analysis procedure were so strong that his publication was
accepted by Science on the first submission, and Riback’s
SAXS analysis method already is becoming the standard
in the field.
Riback received his bachelor’s degree in Biophysics from
The Johns Hopkins University. He is in the fifth-year of
graduate studies at University of Chicago’s Biophysical
Sciences Department.

PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS
About the Award in 2004, in conjunction
with the Advanced
Photon Source, the
APS Users Organization
established the APSUO
Rosalind Franklin Young
investigator Award to
recognize an important
scientific or technical
accomplishment by
a young investigator (senior graduate student or early
career Ph.D.) at, or beneficial to, the APS.
Rosalind Franklin was a brilliant chemist who played a
critical but largely unacknowledged role in the discovery
of the structure of DNA. While working as a research
associate for John Randall at King’s College in 1951,
Franklin was assigned to study the unwieldy DNA
molecule with x-ray crystallography—a technique only just
beginning to be used for biological molecules. Her results
revealed the position of the sugar-phosphate backbone
and the basic helical structure of the molecule; when her
x-ray photographs filtered unofficially to John Watson at
Cambridge, he immediately saw their implications. Franklin
went on to work on the tobacco mosaic virus and the polio
virus, but her career came to an untimely end when she
died of cancer in 1958 at age 37.

2018 APS/CNM USERS MEETiNG
In memory of Gopal K. Shenoy (1940–2017)
Dr. Gopal Shenoy was a Distinguished Senior Scientist at
Argonne, where he worked for 43 years. He was one of the
founders of the Advanced Photon Source.
His early career involved Mossbauer Spectroscopy with
pioneering work on magnetism and superconductivity in
uranium, neptunium, ytterbium, gadolinium, erbium, and
europium compounds. His work helped Argonne attract
new generations of scientists to develop a world leading
nuclear resonant scattering program. He was a strong
supporter and at times an active participant in nuclear
resonance experiments at the APS.
By mid 1980’s Dr. Shenoy seized a historic opportunity
and pushed for an insertion-device based synchrotron
light source. His enthusiasm was matched by that of
Dr. Yanglai Cho, and working together, they developed a
low-emittance lattice storage ring design with 35 undulator
sources. Starting in 1987, his attention, and that of Dr. David
Moncton, the first Director of the APS, was directed to the
detailed design and construction of the Advanced Photon
Source, as well as to creating a healthy national scientific
user community.
in the early 2000’s, after leaving his APS management
position, Gopal turned to novel experimental development
issues. His constant enthusiasm contributed to the first
demonstration of a fast mechanical chopper for nuclear-
resonant x-ray scattering studies.
Gopal Shenoy always had an eye on the future. As early as
1995, he was working on laser-based x-ray light sources.
The first demonstration of the self-amplified spontaneous
emission principle, with laboratory leaders such as David
Moncton, Efim Gluskin, John Galayda, Michael Borland,
and Stephen Milton, paved the way for x-ray free-electron
lasers in the world today.
Gopal Shenoy proved time and again that he could
connect to young researchers, support their work, fire their
enthusiasm, challenge their ideas, and encourage them to
publish their work.

PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS
The 2018 Gopal K. Shenoy Excellene in Beamline Science Award Hua Zhou(Advanced Photon Source Argonne National Laboratory)
The 2018 Gopal K. Shenoy Excellence in Beamline Science
Award was awarded on May 7th, 2018, to Hua Zhou, a
physicist in the Surface Scattering and Microdiffraction
Group of X-Ray Sciences Division at the APS.
The award recognizes Zhou’s pioneering work in the
field of synchrotron radiation studies of complex oxide
heterostructures, using various sectors of the APS. Zhou
is a world-recognized leader in performing hard x-ray
surface and interface studies and in promoting the use
of hard x-ray techniques for versatile thin film materials,
in particular for oxide investigation. As an expert in the
analysis of Coherent Bragg Rod Analysis (COBRA), Zhou
has advanced the method to allow for different crystal
structures and symmetries and introduced an effective
way to account for statistical error. in addition, he has
developed a vibrant research program at the APS focused
on in situ x-ray studies of electrolyte ionic gating for
multifunctional oxides. His discoveries have been essential
to gaining a fundamental understanding of how these
ionic-lattice-electronic couplings work in different energy
efficient electronics and energy conversion technologies.
Zhou’s science program has resulted in more than
60 publications since 2013. He has demonstrated
sustained commitment to the APS user community by
the education, training, and mentoring of undergraduate,
graduate students, and postdocs from global backgrounds.
He has organized and chaired various symposia and
workshops on promoting surface x-ray capabilities of the
APS in domestic and international conferences.
About the Award This APSUO award
recognizes beamline
scientists who have
made significant scientific
contributions in their
area of research or
instrumentation
development and have
promoted the user
community in this area.
The award was renamed in 2017 in honor of the late
Gopal K. Shenoy, one of the key players in the inception of
the APS and a world renown materials scientist. Gopal was
always a huge supporter of the facility’s scientists and truly
enjoyed working with them. The inaugural Gopal K. Shenoy
Excellence in Beamline Science Award will be presented at
the 2018 APS/CNM Users Meeting.
