Guest Lecture on Peptide Conformations
As a part of Science Appreciation Club activity, we the School of Chemical Sciences, REVA University, Bangalore had organized a Guest Lecture on “Peptide conformations” on 3rd September 2019 at 11.30-1.00 PM in the Dr. Junjappa Seminar Hall, 1St Floor, School of applied Sciences, REVA University for the students of M.Sc.., Chemistry, Ist and III semester, Research scholars and Staff.
The expert lecture was delivered by
Dr. Narendra N Ph.D.
Assistant Professor,
Dept. of Chemistry,
Tumkur University,
Tumkur.
The Expert lecture focused on the following key points:
1. Challenging tasks encountered during the assignment of stereochemistry of organic compounds
2. Enantiomers and Diastereomers
3. Differences b/w confirmations and conformations
4. Stereochemical assignment of peptide and proteins
5. Dr. Ramachandran plot-for predicting the structure of protein
The talk follows interactive discussions and Q&A.
Following are the outcomes achieved:
 Understanding the importance of organic/medicinal/biochemical structures
 Learning newer techniques for assigning the stereochemistry for biomolecules
 Prediction and application of Dr. Ramachandran Plot for determining the quarternaty structure of protein
 Understanding the importance of protein helices in bioactivities
 Identification and theoretical predictions of molecular structure conformations posed by long chain peptides
 The students explored to new methods in determining the structure of proteins and understanding the applications of Dr. Ramachandran Plot.
We would like to thank the guest speaker, Dr. Narendra N, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Chemistry, Tumkur University, Tumkur for delivering the industry expert talk.
