"One of the qualities of every good team is character, and chemistry is a big part of that. You want to keep it as long as you can." Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon, based in part on his experiences as a player, is skeptical of how vital healthy clubhouse chemistry is in a team's performance. "When you win," McClendon said, grinning, "you have great chemistry. I played on teams that had players that didn't get along well at all, but they won." Beltre, Choo and Beimel on Rangers' team chemistry Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre, left fielder Shin-Soo Choo and pitcher Joe Beimel talk about the chemistry developing in camp First-year Rangers manager Jeff Banister is leaning on his great third baseman, Adrian Beltre, to help build a working environment resulting in positive clubhouse chemistry. "To be able to walk into a big league clubhouse for the first time as a manager and have a guy like Beltre there, the kind of leader he is, makes a huge difference," Banister said. "He'll take younger guys and shape and mold how they approach the game. That is so important, having a guy like that the young guys can look up to and … Continue reading →

VIDEO:University of Illinois chemistry professor MartinBurkeexplainsamachinethatcanassemblecomplexsmallmoleculesfromchemicalbuildingblocks.Thiscouldaidinrapiddrugdevelopment.... view more CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- A new molecule-making machine could do for chemistry what 3-D printing did for engineering: Make it fast, flexible and accessible to anyone. Chemists at the University of Illinois, led by chemistry professor and medical doctor Martin D. Burke, built the machine to assemble complex small molecules at the click of a mouse, like a 3-D printer at the molecular level. The automated process has the potential to greatly speed up and enable new drug development and other technologies that rely on small molecules. "We wanted to take a very complex process, chemical synthesis, and make it simple," said Burke, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Early Career Scientist. "Simplicity enables automation, which, in turn, can broadly enable discovery and bring the substantial power of making molecules to nonspecialists." The researchers described the technology in a paper featured on the cover of the March 13 issue of Science. "Small molecules" are a specific class of complex, compact chemical structures found throughout nature. They are very important in medicine - most medications available now are small molecules - as well as in biology as probes to uncover the inner workings of cells … Continue reading →

Broadly applicable and automated technology powers company's product engine for redesigning evolution's products as new medicines Pure Communications Inc.

Burke, M.D., Ph.D., professor of chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Early Career Scientist of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.... view more REVOLUTION Medicines, Inc., a company focused on the discovery and development of innovative drugs derived from natural compounds, today announced the publication of new research by the company's scientific founder and scientific advisory board chairman, Martin D. Burke, M.D., Ph.D., professor of chemistry, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Early Career Scientist of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. The paper in the journal Science, titled "Synthesis of many different types of small molecules using one automated process," demonstrates the automation and robust application of a unified "building blocks" approach for synthesizing multiple classes of complex natural chemicals that could be valuable backbones for new medicines. REVOLUTION Medicines, which announced its launch in February 2015, is building its industrial-scale REVBLOCKS drug discovery platform based on these methods under an exclusive license from the University of Illinois encompassing an extensive patent estate.

Problems producing biofuels, the role of gas hydrates in energy production and how to supply clean, safe water are the topics of three plenary talks at the 249th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, taking place March 22-26 in Denver. The presentations touch on the meeting's theme, "Chemistry of Natural Resources." The talks are among the more than 10,000 scheduled to take place at the meeting and will be held on Sunday, March 22, from 3 to 6:30 p.m., Bellco Theater, Colorado Convention Center. Despite the passage of federal legislation designed to encourage development of advanced biofuels and substantial government funding for development of related technology, the amount of this energy that has been produced lags far behind what was specified. One speaker will explain the reasons. Another will discuss the role of crystalline inclusion compounds called gas hydrates in energy production. A third speaker will outline the right mix of science, policy and financial incentives to ensure that people and nature get a most valuable commodity: clean and abundant water. The American Chemical Society is a nonprofit organization chartered by the U.S. Congress. With more than 158,000 members, ACS is … Continue reading →

Lots of ink is spilling and hands are wringing over the government approval of powdered alcohol drinks Palcohol and if you paid attention in chemistry class, you might feel something sounds wrong. I dont mean wrong in some societal way involving drunken minors. I mean that something sounds scientifically and chemically amiss. Heres NPRs Michaeleen Doucleff: The idea behind Palcohol is simple: dehydrated vodka or rum inside a little air-tight package. Tear open the package, sprinkle the powder into tonic water and voila! Youve got a vodka tonic with an alcohol concentration about the same as a regular cocktail (about 20 proof but the exact alcohol concentration will depend on how much liquid you add). In other words, its like an adult version of Kool Aid or Country Time Lemonade. Walter White wouldnt believe this. In fact anyone with any recollection of middle school chemistry might suspect this explanation is too simple. If you take all the water from vodka you would be left with mostly ethanol, which is a liquid. At least, its liquid until you get down below about -114 degrees C. It was cold in New England this winter but not that cold. If you were going … Continue reading →
