Miller and Colleagues Publish on Bifurcating Enzymes in Nature Chemical Biology

University of Kentucky researchers participating in a Department of Energy-funded center have discovered a ground-breaking process that allows them to harness energy from chemical reactions that previously would have been dismissed as unusable. The process – which maximizes the efficiency of reactions at the molecular level – could affect everything from synthetic biology to fuel and chemical production. The authors are part of a multi-institutional team called the Biological Electron Transfer and Catalysis (BETCy) Energy Frontier Research Center.

Graham Receives DOE CAREER Award to Study Organic-Perovskites Interfaces

Dr. Kenneth Graham, an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Kentucky, has been selected as a recipient of a CAREER Award from the Department of Energy. This award supports the development of individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and stimulates research programs in the disciplines supported by the DOE Office of Science.

A&S Students Raise Awareness about Homelessness

During the Spring 2017 semester, A&S students along with high school students from the STEAM Academy created sidewalk chalk art to bring awareness to the homeless population in Kentucky.



This project was lead by Dr. Rosie Moosnick with help from Brian Jones (STEAM Academy), Mollie Rabiner (Living Arts and Science Center), Rob Parmley (Lexington Public Library), and Justin Bathon (UK Educational Leadership Dept).

A&S Hosts International Linguistic Institute

By Nate Harling

If you have been anywhere near the University of Kentucky’s Don & Cathy Jacobs Science Building this month, it is more than likely you heard at least one language you have never heard before. Since the beginning of July, there have been people on campus speaking a plethora languages ranging from Mauritian Creole to Farsi to Kalaallisut, the language spoken by the indigenous people of Greenland.
