Check out their menu here and grab a bite to eat before joining us at the seminar! Title: Programmable Chemical Actuators and Electronic Control of Enzyme Activity Abstract: Chemoelectric potentials are utilized by life to generate heat, locomotion, and energy in the form of ATP. The chemoelectric potential has been regulated by changing concentrations of relevant ions via conducting polymer devices. Conducting polymers, such as polypyrrole, undergo reversible reduction and oxidation in an electrolyte when an electric field is applied. Reduction induces a chemoelectric potential drawing ions from the electrolyte into the polymer. We therefore define programmable chemical actuators as devices that generate a chemoelectric gradient in a controlled volume using an applied external stimulus. A quantitative overview of programmable chemical actuators is given with a focus on the electronic control of enzyme activity.  102 Rightmire Hall, 1060 Carmack Rd., Columbus, OH 43210 Center for Applied Plant Sciences caps@osu.edu America/New_York public
