University of Pennsylvania Department of Chemistry
Spotlight



Chemical biology uses chemistry techniques to understand and manipulate biological processes. Penn Chemistry has many groups developing chemical methods to better understand biological systems, often in collaboration with groups in other departments and in Penn's nearby School of Medicine and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Above, the work of the Marmorstein Group: Ribbon diagram of the ternary complex of yeast Hst2 bound to an acetyllysine histone H4 peptide (green) and a nonhydrolyzable NAD+ analog, carba-NAD+ (yellow), with bound Zn ion (red).
