In vitro selection has identified ribozymes that catalyze all of the major reactions of genetic information transfer and many of the chemistries ass ociated with small molecule metabolism. A long-term goal of our program i s to build new biologies by building, understanding and exploiting metabo lic ribozymes. Early work examined metabolite binding by aptamers and str ucture-mechanism relationships in hammerhead ribozymes. Our recent focus is on the evolution and engineering of ribozymes that catalyze phosphoryl transfer (kinase and phosphatase ribozymes) for biologically relevant su bstrates. We are especially interested in understanding how biophysical c onstraints dictate the evolutionary potential of RNA.\n\n LOCATION:HAMILTON HALL Room 112 URL:http://events.unl.edu/2012/09/27/70081/ DTEND;TZID=US/Central:20120927T163000 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=US/Central:20120927T153000 UID:67496@events.unl.edu DTSTAMP:20020131T020000 SUMMARY:WGS Colloquium by Rose Holz: Whose Business Is It Anyway?

Before then, a f ew industrious daredevils in Marin County, California, built custom bikes to zoom around the mountainous terrain where they lived. These visionary individuals combined engineering ingenuity with an artistic eye, using f ound parts to create durable bicycles that could withstand the bumps and tumbles of downhill racing. This summer, some of these early mountain bik es, on loan from the Monkey Wrench collection, will be on view in Sheldon 's Great Hall.

Each work in the exhibitio n was created and acquired after 1960.\n\nThe exhibition reflects art mov ements and trends from this period as well as museum directions in collec ting. The exhibition highlights important gifts to the museum and draws a ttention to areas of strength in its holdings. The installation also cele brates new acquisitions and important works that have not recently been o n view.\n\nIn honor of Sheldon's 50th Anniversary and the 125th Anniversa ry of the Sheldon Art Association, the SAA and the museum purchased a sig nificant work by a major artist. The selection, unveiled on Friday, Septe mber 7th, is "Invocation" by Lee Krasner. This important painting, probab ly begun in the late 1960s, exemplifies Krasner’s transition in style f rom using expansive gestural brushstrokes to incorporating more tightly d efined graphic elements such as lines and disks.

Jurors selected 132 pieces from 97 artists for the exhibition, including 26 pieces in ceramics, 51 pieces in photography and 55 pieces in printmaking.\n\n“We got an excellent r esponse for the first year of the competition. There is a wide variety of interesting work,” said Department of Art and Art History Interim Chai r Pete Pinnell.\n\nThe department intends to make this show an annual eve nt. Each year’s exhibition will feature three different categories on a two-year rotating basis. This year’s categories are ceramics, printmak ing and photography. Next year, the categories will be painting/drawing, sculpture and new genres.\n\nLong-time department supporters Dan and Barb ara Howard, of Lincoln, Neb., created the Howard Awards for Excellence fo r the first year of the competition. The awards are intended to both rewa rd excellence and to attract students to enter the competition.\n\n“The Howards very generously gave four awards; a $1,000 First Prize in each o f the three categories and a $1,500 prize for Best of Show,” Pinnell sa id. “Dan and Barbara’s support has been instrumental to the success o f this show and of the entire department."\n\nPinnell said the exhibition meets two important goals for the department.\n\n“It will expose our s tudents to the best student art work from across the country, and I hope it will also entice the general public to attend our openings and see wha t we’re doing here in the department," he said.\n\nIn addition to the g allery show, an online catalog for the exhibition will be available on th e department’s website (http://www.unl.edu/art). Anyone will be able to download the catalog for free or send the file to a self-publishing site to get a paper copy printed.\n\n“We’ve started work on the catalog a nd will have it on our website by mid-September," Pinnell said.\n\nThe Ne braska National will have a special First Friday opening on Sept. 7 from 6-8 p.m. The Howard Awards for Excellence will be announced at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
