SUMMARY:Town Talk: Condense to Organize
DESCRIPTION:Rohit Pappu\, Washington University in St. Louis \nWhat are the unifying themes in neurodegeneration in the context of ALS and other dementias\, success of heart transplantation\, the onset and progression of an assortment of cancers\, and stress responses of plants? In all these cases\, the biochemical reactions within the cells of interest that go awry in pathology or the reactions that contribute to healthy cells occur within specialized communities known as biomolecular condensates. These are molecular communities that form via condensation\, just like raindrops on a windshield. Condensates are dynamic molecular communities and reactions occur within and at the interface of condensates. These molecular communities form when they are needed\, and dissolve when they are no longer needed. While reversible formation of condensates at the right place and time enables control over cellular reactions\, aberrations in condensation appear to be at the root of some of the most debilitating and complex diseases of our time. The talk will highlight key insights that have emerged over the past decade-and-a-half that have opened our eyes to the marvels of condensation within cells. Strikingly\,  how real-time developments in basic science are making an impact in the way we diagnose and treat disease\, while also enabling enormous progress toward a better understanding of plant and microbial systems.  \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.

SUMMARY:Quantum Computing and Chemistry: Realizing the Promise of Quantum Information
DESCRIPTION:Kade Head-Marsden\, University of Minnesota \nThere is an exponential cost to obtaining molecular information pertinent to important processes such as catalysis\, photosynthesis\, and energy transfer and storage. While quantum computing showed early promise for reducing the scaling of these problems\, practical realization of this promise has remained challenging. The primary challenge arises due to the noise experienced by the quantum system\, limiting the size and complexity of possible algorithms and thus restricting the scope of possible applications. The detrimental effect of noise is because qubits\, the base unit of quantum computation\, are fundamentally interacting with their surroundings. As we navigate through this noisy quantum era\, we need to find use-cases for the hardware we have access to now\, along with creative paths forward. Here\, I will introduce the ideas and potential behind quantum computing\, discuss practical challenges\, and outline on-going chemistry research inspired by these challenges in quantum information. \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.

SUMMARY:Good Amyloids\, Bad Amyloids: Shape Shifting and Contagious Shape
DESCRIPTION:Ann McDermott\, Columbia University \nFor proteins\, aka “the building blocks of life”\,  shape is ultimately important. Shape\, more than other properties\, confers function\, information about protein shapes is coveted in the development of new medicines and diagnostics.   Most proteins are somewhat flexible\, and there are numerous shapes that can be adopted in the course or their cellular function.  Protein flexibility has a dark side— the shape-shifting can shape be extreme in many diseases–  such that proteins adopt a dramatically different  elongated shape— one in which many copies of the protein clump together and form amyloid deposits in the brain\, pancreas\, kidney\, heart\, liver\, or other organs. This lecture explores a controversial point regarding amyloid proteins.  Are amyloid proteins sometimes employed by nature for benefit?  Does nature\, the ultimate opportunist\, make good use of the fact that proteins convert from their normal shape to this quasi-universal clumped form? Learn more in this Telluride Inside and Out Article \nTown Talks will be held on Tuesdays at the Telluride Conference Center in Mountain Village June 3 to August 12 (with the exception of July 1). Doors open at 6 pm and the program starts at 6:30 pm. Free and open to the public. \nThanks to our title sponsor Alpine Bank and Telluride Mountain Village Owner’s Association.
