Title: Metal-Modified Nucleic Acids: From Silver(I)-Mediated Base Pairs to Phosphorescent Platinum(II)-Bearing DNA

Abstract: Metal-mediated base pairs are conjugates of nucleic acids and metal complexes. They are formed by formally replacing hydrogen bonds within a base pair by coordinate bonds. As a result, metal ions are introduced into the nucleic acid helix along its helical axis. The ability to decorate nucleic acids site-specifically with transition metal ions allows interesting applications in nucleic acid nanotechnology, in sensors, and in responsive nucleic acid systems. This lecture will exemplify the design and characterization of metal-mediated base pairs, ranging from silver(I)-mediated base pairs to the first example of a phosphorescent platinum(II)-containing DNA oligonucleotide.

Mackintosh-Corry Hall
Room: FSLF Seminar Room B176

Description:

In this workshop you will make a list of things you are, starting with “I am” or I am a/an” (don't worry - I'll have lots of examples/inspirations). This list will then be incorporated into an art mosaic. The final piece will be a visual representation of all of your gifts/roles – a great reminder of who you truly are.

ART THERAPY – WHAT TO EXPECT

Art Therapy is the use of the creative process partnered with psychotherapy which offers a chance for self-exploration and understanding. Art allows us to explore things we may not have words to explain. While Art Therapy can be a deep and intense form of counseling, this group will focus on a lighter form of art therapy – 'art as healing'. We will be using art as a tool for expression and discussion.

Facilitator Information:

Melanie Gray graduated from Queen's University in 2016 with a BAH in Art History and Indigenous Studies. She went on to do her graduate program at the Toronto Art Therapy Institute where she graduated in 2018. Her thesis was titled The Ohén:ton Karihwatéhkwen

Project: Introducing Art Therapy to Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory using the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address. As an Indigenous Art Therapist, Melanie continues to be grounded in her Haudenosaunee culture and uses this understanding in her practice.
