There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Computational Design of New Enzymes
There are enzymes for every biological reaction, but can we create enzymes for reactions that are not involved in life? One of Feynman's famous quotes is relevant: "What I cannot create, I do not understand." In the context of this lecture, if we really understand enzymes, we should be able to create new ones. Such an achievement could also have considerable practical significance. Progress toward designing and synthesizing enzymes for non-natural reactions will be describedSchool Colloquium
