Letter fromthe Chair

It’s a pleasure for me to send you greet-ings from Ann Arbor and to highlightsome of the exciting news from the De-partment of Chemistry in the last year.Faculty and graduate student recruitmentremains a high priority for the Depart-ment. This past year has been an out-standing one in both areas.

In January, Professor Edwin Vedejs,the Moses Gomberg Professor of Chemis-try, arrived in Ann Arbor from Wisconsinwith some of his research group. Ed hasnow settled in and has put together aresearch group numbering eighteen al-ready. Renovations of laboratories forProfessor Carol Fierke will be completedin August, and Carol and her group willarrive then. Another exciting new seniorhire in the past year is Professor OmarYaghi from Arizona State University.Omar’s research interests center aroundinorganic and materials chemistry. Hewill be a very significant addition to ourefforts towards materials chemistry. Omarhas already moved to Ann Arbor and hisresearch group arrives in August. A fourthaddition to our faculty in 1999 is Assis-tant Professor Nils G. Walter who re-ceived his Ph.D. from the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry inGottingen, Germany. He will arrive inAnn Arbor from a postdoctoral stay in theDepartment of Microbiology and Molecu-lar Genetics at the University of Vermont.Nils’ research plans will focus on thestructure and dynamics in small catalyticRNA. His research interests span a vari-ety of biophysical problems in chemicalbiology. In the coming year, we plan to

carry out faculty searches in organic chem-istry, analytical chemistry, and theoreti-cal physical chemistry.

Graduate student recruitment duringthe past year has been better than ever inboth quality and quantity. In addition tothe new students that come with Profes-sors Fierke and Yaghi, we will have 56new graduate students. It is also encour-aging to note that at least 15 new enteringstudents have research interests in inor-ganic chemistry. This past year, the De-partment was successful in obtaining anNSF IGERT grant for $2.5 M over fiveyears jointly with the Department of Ma-terials Science in Engineering to traingraduate students in materials science.

Other news in the Department includesthe promotions of Dr. Mark BanaszakHoll and Dr. Roseanne Sension to Associ-ate Professor with tenure. Associate Pro-fessor Gary Glick was promoted to Pro-fessor and named to a Collegiate Chair,which wil l be named the WernerBachmann Professor of Chemistry. Pro-fessor Mark Meyerhoff finishes his termas Associate Chair for Graduate StudentAffairs and will take a sabbatical leavenext year. The Department and I are mostgrateful to Mark for the outstanding andeffective job that he has done. I ampleased to announce that Professor DimitriCoucouvanis has agreed to succeed Pro-fessor Meyerhoff as Associate Chair.During the past year, Professor ThomasDunn retired and Professor RichardLawton began a retirement furlough year.

There have been a number of changesand retirements on the staff side. This past

spring, Mary Browning, Lauren Meyersand Phyllis Peters retired from the Uni-versity and this summer Wayne Burkhardtretired as supervisor of the electronic shop.There have been a number of new staffhires in the last year. In the technical area,Dr. Todd Raeker joined the Department assystem manager in computing andMohammed Hague in the area of NMR.Diane Viebahn and Laura Martinez joinedthe business office; Jacqueline Kuehn re-placed Phyllis Peters and Karen Sturtzbegan as secretary to Professor Vedejs.

On the University front, a major newresearch initiative has been launched, andit is called the Life Sciences Institute.Last spring, President Bollinger an-nounced a Life Sciences Commissionchaired by Bill Roush from chemistry andHuda Akil from neurosciences to analyzethe status of Life Sciences research atMichigan and make recommendations fora comprehensive initiative. The report ofthis Commission resulted in the projec-tion of a $200 million-dollar investmentin the Life Sciences beginning with a 90million dollar building to be the first of aLife Sciences Institute. A search for adirector will begin this fall.

In the College, interim Dean PatriciaGurin is completing her year as Dean. Pathas been very support ive of theDepartment’s efforts in faculty hiring. Weappreciate all the hard work she has donethis past year. In August, Professor ShirleyNeuman from the University of BritishColumbia will begin her term as Dean ofthe College of LS&A. Currently, Profes-sor Neuman is Dean of Arts at British

Symposia/SeminarsThe visit of Nobel laureate, ProfessorThomas Cech, on May 19 to present theannual Bachmann Lecture was one of thehigh points of the seminar program thisyear. Professor Cech gave a compellingreview of the discovery of catalytic RNAchemistry and recent results from his labo-ratory. The lecture and traditionalcelebratory dinner were among the moststimulating departmental events this year.

It has become customary to hold sev-eral of the special lectures in May whenscheduling is more propitious. In thisvein, the Elving Lecture was held theprevious week. This biennial affair hon-ors an analytical chemist. Dr. JanetOsteryoung who is the director of thechemistry program at the National Sci-ence Foundation presented this year’slecture. She maintains close ties with herhome department and electrochemistryoriented research group at North Caro-lina State University.

On May 7 the Fifth Annual MichiganSymposium on Contemporary Challengesin Molecular Medicine was held in thedepartment co-hosted with Parke-DavisPharmaceutical Research. This year’stheme was “Molecular Diversity at theInterface of Chemistry and Biology”. Pe-

ter Schultz (Berkeley) opened the morn-ing with Functional Molecules: A Lessonfrom Nature. Chaitan Khosla (Stanford)followed with Assembly Line SynthesisUsing Modular Enzymes. The afternoonpresentations were given by Jack Szostak(Massachusetts General Hospital)RIVA-Protein Fusions: Applications toDirected Protein Evolution and Func-tional Genomics, and Jonathan Ellman(Berkeley) From Small Molecule Librar-ies to Function.

The Moses Gomberg Lecture series,coordinated by the assistant professors,and sponsored by the Dow Chemical Co.continued its tradition of inviting distin-guished leaders from across chemistrythroughout the year. The series began inOctober with Jon Clardy (Cornell) dis-cussing Natural Products and Their Pro-tein Targets. In November, StephenBenkovic (Penn State) spoke on EnzymeAssembly. Josef Michl (Colorado) spokein January on Localization and Delocal-ization of Electron Excitation in SigmaFrameworks. The February lecture wasgiven by Robert Shulman (Yale) on LetUs Do Biochemistry In Vivo. CarlLineberger spoke in March on OrganicRadicals, Reactive Intermediates, andTransition States: Spectroscopy of theReaction Coordinate. In successive weeksin April, lectures were presented by Nicho-las Turro (Columbia) Stable Radicals Re-visited: Supramolecular Stabilization, andby Yves Chabal (Bell Labs/Lucent) Semi-conductor Surface Passivation: The Ubiq-uitous Role of Oxygen and Hydrogen.

Spotlight Profileson Faculty,Graduate StudentsandUndergraduates

We highlight one faculty member, onegraduate student and one undergraduatestudent to let you know of their specialaccomplishments in the past year. Al-though the choice is difficult, consider-ing the numbers of outstanding people inChemistry at Michigan, we hope youagree this group deserves merit.

Faculty MemberProfessor James Penner-Hahn has beenat the University of Michigan for the last15 years, since joining the faculty in theFall of 1985. He has only been sightedbriefly in Ann Arbor for the last 12 monthsspending his time at the Centre d’ EtudeAtomique laboratory in Saclay, on theoutskirts of Paris, France. ProfessorPenner-Hahn has been on a sabbaticalleave in the Department de BiologieCellulaire et Moléculaire, supported by aSenior International Fellowship from theFogarty Center. Thus, for the last year he

has been spending his time studying thedetails of high-field EPR (electron para-magnetic resonance) spectroscopy as op-posed to his usual interest in high-energy

(i.e., x-ray) spectroscopy. Instead of teach-ing classes in introductory chemistry, hehas been taking classes in introductoryFrench. Although the latter have onlybeen modestly successful (after a year inthe French schools, his children now rou-tinely correct his pronunciation and gram-mar) the research has been very success-ful and has given exciting new insight intothe structure of manganese redox enzymes.

Although it is with some regret that hewill bid adieu to Paris, he is looking for-ward to rejoining his group for personal,

rather than e-mail, discussions. His re-search interests continue to focus on un-derstanding the structure of the metalsites in metalloproteins. His group isparticularly interested in the bioinorganicchemistry of Mn and Zn, and has beenvery active over the last year, even inProf. Penner-Hahn’s absence. The ninegraduate students and postdocs have madenumerous trips to synchrotron laborato-ries across the country and now have alarge amount of data waiting for his re-turn.

For most of his time at Michigan, Prof.Penner-Hahn has taught general, physi-cal, or inorganic chemistry courses. ThisFall will see a change, as he works ondeveloping an exciting new “ProjectsLaboratory” for biochemistry under-graduates. This course, whose initialdevelopment is being supported by theHoward Hughes Medical Institute, willprovide a structured research opportunityfor the increasing number of biochemis-try concentrators at the University ofMichigan.

Professor Penner-Hahn’s sabbaticalmarked the end of a three-year stint as theAssociate Chair for the UndergraduateProgram. Now, refreshed by his leave, heis looking forward to jumping back intoUniversity business, as a member of thedepartmental Executive Committee andGraduate Committee, as chair of the physi-cal chemistry search committee, and as a

Omar M. Yaghi , ProfessorMaterials Design and Discovery Group:Materials Chemistry of Molecular andExtended Organic and Inorganic SolidsPh.D., University of Illinois-Urbana

Controlling the atomic structure, to-pology and function of extended solidstate materials is one of the most chal-lenging issues facing chemistry. Ourapproach toward addressing this chal-lenge has involved developing syntheticstrategies to the design of extended net-works from soluble molecules with spe-cial emphasis on the synthesis of inor-ganic and organic porous materials. Us-ing this molecular building block ap-proach, it is possible to tailor the poreshape, size and function, thus it has beenpossible for my group to generate new

tion of both the prokaryotic and eukary-otic holoenzymes using crosslinking, crys-tallography, spectroscopy, kinetic analy-sis and synthesis of modified RNA mol-ecules.

Finally, we are rationally redesigningproteins for optimization of biosensors,

tions in the absence of proteins, disman-tling the dogma that protein enzymes arethe sole biological carriers of catalyticactivity. As such catalysts, ribozymesneed to be extremely dynamic. Their struc-tures and interactions with substrates andcofactors, such as metal ions and pro-teins, undergo substantial changes overtime scales of microseconds to hours. Themajor goal of our group is to understandthese dynamics by the combined use ofstate-of-the-art chemical, molecular bi-ology, and biophysical approaches. Inparticular, we employ fluorescence basedtechniques to acquire unique kinetic datathat allow to dissect the reaction path-ways of ribozymes. In addition, we areextending these techniques both to thesingle-molecule level and to studies inlive cells.

The systems we study range from smallRNA catalysts, such as the hammerheadand hepatitis delta virus ribozymes, tolarge RNA-protein complexes, such as

the spliceosome. As the commonnucleobases do not fluoresce, we incor-porate fluorophores into RNA by chemi-cal methods. Steady-state and time-re-solved fluorescence measurements ofthese site-specifically modified RNAs al-low us to ask questions such as: What isthe distance between the attachment sitesof a fluorophore and its quencher (e.g., asecond, so-called acceptor fluorophore)?Are there conformationally distinct RNAmolecules present in solution, so that sepa-rate distance distributions are observed?How do these distances change over time?What influence do cofactors and sequencemodifications have? Our studies help, first,to understand the principles of structurefolding in RNA and ribonucleoproteincomplexes and, second, to illuminate themolecular basis of catalysis by RNA. Ap-plications include the identification andoptimization of ribozymes for genetherapy applications within cells and theexploration of novel applications for RNA,e.g., as biosensor.

classes of materials, where the molecularproperties have been translated into thedesigned solids, which are then examinedfor their use in catalysis, sensors, separa-tions, transport and information storage.

Specifically, the research efforts inmy group include: (1) designing porousmetal-organic crystals by the copolymer-ization of metal ions with organic mol-ecules such as 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate,where their multidentate functionalitiesallow the formation of stable open net-works in which highly selective molecu-lar recognition and sensing is achieved;(2) the assembly of inorganic metal ox-ide, sulfide and nitride networks withunprecedented porosity and the use oftheir voids as microvessels for the syn-thesis and study of unusual compounds;

He has also been involved inthe design of the websites for CHEM 106and CHEM 130. Jim assisted with thedepartmental GSI training for two years.Jim’s research at Michigan has been prima-rily focussed on Neutron-Halo RadioactiveNuclear Beams and has also exposed him tothe areas of gamma-ray spectroscopy aswell as chemical separation techniques ofnaturally occurring radioisotopes.

Leadership AwardThe leadership award is given to a gradu-ate student who has shown the skills of a

leader of many. The person takes anactive role in the Department giving extratime assisting with graduate recruitments,

w o r k i n gwith fac-ulty andstaff toprovide abetter en-v i r o n -ment forgraduatestudents,and alsoserves as am o r a l eand wel-fare sup-port re-source for

the graduate students. The 1998-99 win-ner was Jennifer Holt.

In addition to the Departmental awards,we wish to recognize three additionalawards given to our students this year.

Roche Award(Spring 1999)This is an external award given by theHoffmann-La Roche Company for Excel-lence in Organic Chemistry.

The Department chose one student tobe nominated for this award. The 1998-99 winner, Glenn Micalizio (Roush), was

one of a select few graduate students inchemistry from top-ranking universitieschosen to receive this honor. Glenn’sresearch focuses on the total synthesis ofSpongistatin 1, hailed to be one of themost potent inhibitors of cancer cellgrowth discovered to date. In addition, he

is currently developing a novel conver-gent approach to tetrahydrofurans em-ploying bifunctional allylic organometal-lics. He is also developing a syntheticroute to another anticancer marine mac-rolide, Pectenotoxin II employing thenewly developed tetrahydrofuran synthe-sis.

ACS AnalyticalDivision FellowshipThis year, we were fortunate to have a1999-00 ACS Analytical Division FullYear Fellowship winner. Jerilyn Timlin(Morris) received this award and is spon-sored by Proctor and Gamble. Her re-search focuses on developing Raman spec-troscopic imaging as a tool for character-izing the chemical microstructure of bone.Using multivariate image processing tech-niques, her group has identified at leastthree unique mineral species present inbone and have mapped their distributionin mature and newly formed bone trabe-cular and cortical bone. Correlating thesespectroscopic changes with physiologicalmicrostructure will have a wide-spreadimpact in the biomedical community aid-ing in fracture repair, bone replacement,and development of new techniques suchas gene-therapy.

Union CarbideCorporation KenanAwardThis award is given for outstanding gradu-ate students working in the field of mea-surement science.

Jeongim Park (Zellers) was the 1999recipient of the Union Carbide Corpora-tion Kenan Award from Michigan. Thegoal of her research is to develop an in-strument small enough to be worn by aworker that can provide selective, simul-taneous measurement of personal expo-sures to organic vapors. The instrumentemploys an array of surface-acoustic-wave(SAW) sensors as well as a thermallydesorbable adsorbent preconcentrator. Byusing sensors with different polymer coat-ings in the array, it is possible to producea pattern of responses that can be used toidentify the vapor. Quantification isachieved by calibrating the response peaksagainst known test-atmosphere concen-trations.

Undergraduate Program News

UndergraduateHorizonsOur chemistry and biochemistry gradu-ates pursue a number of different careerpaths: graduate school, MD/PhD pro-grams, industrial internships, medicine,public health, teaching, or employmentin industry are a few examples. Some ofthis year’s graduates are highlighted be-low. For 1998-99 chemistry degrees to-taled twenty-three, biochemistry hadforty-eight, with five students concen-trating in both programs.

Scott Travis Lefurgy (honors biochem-istry, Yocum, May 1999)

Scott, a dual degree student, earned anhonors degree in biochemistry and also adegree in voice performance from theSchool of Music. His research started inProf. Coppola’s lab where he helped adaptCAChe software on molecular visualiza-tion for our structure and reactivity class.Later, he was part of a team to create acomputer program that would teach high-school students about chemistry by link-ing a manipulable visual model of a mol-ecule to its chemical properties. He col-laborated with programmers to design amolecule building interface. He thenmoved on to photosynthesis research inProf. Yocum’s lab where he produced athesis entitled “Characterization of Struc-ture and Function of Manganese-Stabi-

lizing Protein of Spinach Photosystem IIUsing Site-Directed Mutagenesis.” Scottis currently interning at Parke Davis wherehe is in a protein crystallography group,with whom he had an opportunity to col-lect diffraction data at the Advanced Pho-ton Source at Argonne National Labora-tory. Scott has been recognized nation-ally as a Goldwater Scholar, and the de-partment awarded him two summer fel-lowships, a National Starch Scholarship,a Lubrizol Scholarship and the AmericanInstitute of Chemists Biochemistry Award.He plans to pursue his biochemistry Ph.D.at the University of Wisconsin in a yearand possibly join the ranks of academia.

Carolyn Elaine Owen (honors chemis-try, Toogood, December 1998)

Carolyn has had experience in bothacademia and industry. She has had in-ternships at 3M in optical materials chem-istry and is currently at Pharmacia &Upjohn in process development. At Michi-gan, she taught a first semester organicchemistry lab, tutored organic chemistry,chaired the F.E. Bartell Memorial Lecturefor Alpha Chi Sigma Chemical SciencesFraternity, and pursued research for herhonors thesis entitled, “The Synthesis ofthe Amino Hexanoic Acid Fragment ofKeramamide J Containing R Stereochem-istry at the C-3 Center.” In the summer of1997, at the University of Minnesota, shestudied the total synthesis of substituted

ACS Student AffiliatesThis year, the American Chemical Soci-ety Student Affiliates continued to bringscience to the community through theirexpanded outreach program. In additionto the traditional National ChemistryWeek event on the diag, the month ofOctober was deemed National ChemistryMonth, which included a day of hands-onactivities at the Ann Arbor Hands-OnMuseum and outreaches at several areaschools. Also, a new DNA station, wherestudents extract DNA from bananas anduse gel electrophoresis to identify an un-

known “guilty” strand of DNA, wasimplemented as part of a six-session se-ries of classes for the KidSport summercamp hosted by the Kinesiology Depart-ment.

Activity at ACS national meetings wasmaintained this year, with Student Affili-ate posters being presented at the Bostonand Anaheim meetings. At the Bostonmeeting, the ACS Phoenix Award waspresented to the UM Affiliates, who wererecognized for their work on behalf of theHuron Valley Local Section during Na-tional Chemistry Week. In Anaheim, our

cross-ring naphthoquinones for testingagainst various cancer cell lines. Nation-ally she presented research at the 1998ACS spring and fall meetings. The De-partment awarded her a Herman and Mar-garet Sokol Scholarship, a National StarchScholarship and the ACS Huron ValleySection Outstanding Leadership Award.She will attend UC Davis this fall topursue her Ph.D in organic chemistry.

Amethyst Cook Smith (honors chemis-try biochemistry, C. Evans, May 1999)

Amethyst has been in Christine Evans’research group for three years, producingan honors thesis entitled “PolydiacetyleneMonolayers: Electrochemical Character-ization and Surface Design.” She hadtwo summer fellowships from the depart-ment, and a scholarship from the LubrizolCorporation. She was recognized as theoutstanding second year student, receivedthe ACS Junior Analytical Award andthis year received the Seyhan N. EgeAward from the Women in Science andEngineering Program. Amethyst was anundergraduate student instructor forChemistry 210 and will continue teach-ing chemistry and integrated physics/chemistry at Furr High School in Hous-ton, TX through the Teach for AmericaProgram. She earned an honors chemis-try degree and also a biochemistry de-gree. Amethyst intends to pursue a Ph.D.degree in two years.

Student Affiliates chapter received anOutstanding Chapter Award for the 1997-1998 academic year.

The newly elected officers for 1999-2000 are: Jennifer Chang and ScottHarrison—co-presidents; BenjaminSinger—Vice-President; Ross Smith—Treasurer; Désirée Thayer—Secretary/Historian. Outgoing co-presidents,Suzanne Blum and Rebecca Ihrie, will becompleting their senior year and will con-tinue to contribute their experience andadvice to the group.

Research Experiencesfor Undergraduates(REU) ProgramSummer 1999The Research Experiences for Under-graduates (REU) program funded by theNational Science Foundation (NSF) pro-vides opportunities for talented under-graduate students to participate in re-search projects during a 10-week periodeach summer. REU “sites” are estab-lished by the NSF in all fields of science,mathematics, and engineering at host in-stitutions throughout the United States.At Michigan the program provides un-dergraduate students nationwide an op-portunity to conduct research in ongoingprojects in Chemistry. It provides an ex-ceptional opportunity for undergradu-ates considering a career in science toengage in substantive research activitieswith scientists working in the forefrontof chemistry. Active research experience

is one of the most effective techniques forattracting talented undergraduates to andretaining them in careers in science. Aspart of their research activities, REU stu-dents gain first-hand experience with stateof the art equipment and develop exper-tise in chemical data reduction and analy-sis. In this year’s ten-week program,students carried out research in biochem-istry, analytical, inorganic, organic, andphysical chemistry.

Our summer research program is de-signed to match each student with a fac-ulty member to optimize the researchexperience for all participants. Studentsare provided a stipend, and are assistedwith housing, parking, and travel ex-penses. Those who are in groups tradi-tionally under-represented in science(women, members of under-representedminorities, and those with disabilities)are particularly urged to apply. This yeareleven undergraduate students were in-vited by site director, Prof. Brian Coppolato attend the Department of Chemistry’s

program. REU students participated inthe following activities which sought toenrich their research experience and bet-ter prepare them for their future careers:science and ethics, industry tours, ca-reers and graduate school discussions,research presentations, departmentalpizza parties, and recreational outings.The program also provided the opportu-nity for students to co-author papers. Tomaximize interactions between students,students were housed together in MarkleyHall. A series of regularly scheduledmeetings by faculty mentors were held togive students a broad perspective on cur-rent research directions in chemistry, andthe opportunities available for careers inthis field. At the end of July 1999, stu-dents participated in a collective sympo-sium of area REU sites hosted at HopeCollege, where students displayed post-ers on their projects and, selected partici-pants gave oral presentations on theirresearch.
