Episode 16 of the Modern Chemistry podcast dives back into glycobiology and its practical application with Benjamin Schumann. Ben is a chemical biologist who studies the biology of carbohydrates (glycans). After completing his undergraduate biochemistry studies in Tübingen, Germany, he was trained in synthetic carbohydrate chemistry in the lab of Peter H. Seeberger at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces Potsdam and the FU Berlin. Developing vaccines against pathogenic bacteria based on synthetic glycans, Ben learned to apply his compounds in biological settings in vivo and in vitro. For his achievements, he received the Award for Excellence in Glycosciences and, in 2017, the prestigious Otto Hahn Medal by the Max Planck Society. During his postdoctoral work in the lab of Carolyn R. Bertozzi at Stanford University as an Alexander von Humboldt foundation Feodor Lynen fellow, Ben developed an interest in "precision tools" to study glycosylation of human cells in great detail. He started as a Group Leader at the Crick and Imperial College London in 2018. Towards the end of the show, Ben mentions a prize. Ben and colleagues from Imperial College and Stanford University were awarded the Royal Society of Chemistry's new Chemistry Biology Interface Division Horizon Prize, the Rita and John Cornforth Award.

During the discussion, we mention a few terms- • Batch reaction/batch reactor – A batch reaction is one where all the ingredients are placed in a single vessel, often heated to allow the reaction to take place. Once the reaction is finished, the end products are collected and usually further purified. A batch reactor is the vessel used. More information can be read here - http://www.essentialchemicalindustry.org/processes/chemical-reactors.html • Flow reactor/Flow Chemistry – Flow chemistry or continuous chemistry is where the ingredients for the reaction are continually pumped into a reaction chamber. The reaction chamber is often some form of a tube, with a catalyst held in place. The reaction chamber is often heated and/or pressurized and the resulting product will continuously flow out of the reactor, as long as source ingredients are fed in. More information can be found on Wikipedia here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_chemistry • Autoclave – In this specific example, it refers to a type of batch reactor used at small scale. After the reaction ingredients are added, the autoclave is sealed and can be heated and pressurized to drive the reaction. For examples of these types of reactors look at https://www.helgroup.com/reactor-systems/hydrogenation-catalysis/catalyst-screening/ • Catalyst – A Catalyst is something used to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. The catalyst itself is not used up in the reaction. The Wikipedia page for catalysis (the process of using a catalyst) is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalysis • BioEthanol – Ethanol is a common alcohol with two carbon atoms, with the molecular formula C2H6O2. Bioethanol is a term used to described ethanol produced by the microbial digestion of waste or unwanted plant material. Although it has many potential uses, most commonly it used as an additive in petroleum fuels to reduce the requirements for use of mined petroleum-based fuels. • Butanol – Butanol is an alcohol with four carbon atoms, with the molecular formula C4H9OH. Although most commonly derived from petrochemical, in the context of this discussion, it can be made by joining two molecules of ethanol together. • Zeolites – Russel describes zeolites well in the podcast and if you’re interested in hearing more, then check out the Federation of European Zeolite Associations at http://www.feza-online.eu/index.php You can find out more information about Rusell and Sam on: Russell’s research group at https://www.dur.ac.uk/chemistry/staff/profile/?id=14184 Russell is on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/russell-taylor-aab80140/ Sam is also on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/samuelraynes/ Our theme music is "Wholesome" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Music from https://filmmusic.io License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Connect with me (Paul) at https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulorange/ H.E.L. group can be found at www.helgroup.com online, on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/hel-ltd/, on twitter we’re @HELUK, or search for us on Facebook
For episode 1 of the Modern Chemistry show, I interviewed DAMIAN STEFANCZYK, Senior Consultant at Jensen Hughes and JENS CONZEN Associate Director, Industrial and Process Safety, also of Jensen Hughes. You can find out more information about Jensen Hughes at https://www.jensenhughes.com/ Jens is on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jens-conzen-15364468/ - you’ll also find links to his publications and webinars on safety through this profile. Damian is on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/damiandstefanczyk/ We mention a few terms in this episode that you might want to understand a bit better: -The chemical ‘MDI’, which stands for Methylenediphenyl diisocyanate. MDI is often used in the production of rigid insulation for homes and other building. In different forms, it is also used in sealants, adhesives and weather-resistant materials. If you want to jump all the way down this rabbit hole – then check out this resource on this class of chemicals - https://dii.americanchemistry.com/Diisocyanates-Explained/ -Heat capacity. Heat capacity is a property of all matter. It refers to the amount of heat that needs to be supplied to a material to raise the temperature of the material. The SI unit of heat is Joules per degree Kelvin. Simply put, materials with a lower heat capacity will warm up with less external heat input that materials with higher heat capacity. -Calorimetry. This is the science of measuring the temperature changes of material under certain conditions. In our discussion, we talk about the specific technique of Adiabatic reaction calorimetry, which mimics a situation where no heat is lost from the material under examination. – this allows investigation of potentially unwanted (hazardous) events happening). -Phi factor. The Phi factor is an adjustment used during adiabatic calorimeter experiments. As a reaction proceeds, the calorimeter will absorb some of the heat generated by the reaction. The Phi factor describes how much more heat needs to be added to the calorimeter to mimic a true adiabatic system. The lower the Phi factor, the less external heat needs to be added and therefore, the more closely the experiment mimics the real reaction.
