SUMMARY:Chemistry and Biochemistry Seminar: "Modulating protein conformati
 onal changes and divalent metal binding properties to create safer Cas-ba
 sed genome tools"
DESCRIPTION:By: Dr. Monday Okoronkwo\, Missouri University of Science and 
 Technology\n\n\nThe production of conventional cement is an energy- and C
 O2-intensive process\, contributing to over 8% of the global anthropogeni
 c CO2 emissions. To reduce the carbon footprint of cement and concrete\, 
 efforts are increasingly directed toward developing sustainable low-carbo
 n alternative cementitious materials. Chemistry is at the heart of such e
 fforts\, helping us to understand what forms when cements react with wate
 r (hydration)\, and how they may impact the properties and performance of
  the resulting cement-based products. Through such understanding\, the de
 sign and optimization of new alternative cements are enabled. This talk w
 ill present some of our work in understanding the hydration reactions and
  the development of phase assemblages and properties of some candidate lo
 w-carbon alternative cements\, including blended cements\, alkali-activat
 ed cements\, sulfoaluminate cement\, and carbonated cements.
