    Graduation 2013. Wednesday 17 July 2013 The University of Sheffield Your graduation day is a special day for you and your family, a day for celebrating your achievements and looking forward to a bright future. As a graduate of the University of Sheffield you have every reason to be proud. You are joining a long tradition of excellence stretching back more than 100 years. The University of Sheffield was founded with the amalgamation of the School of Medicine, Sheffield Technical School and Firth College. In 1905, we received a Royal Charter and Firth Court was officially opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. At that time, there were 363 students reading for degrees in arts, pure science, medicine and applied science. By the time of our centenary, there were over 25,000 students from more than 100 countries, across 70 academic departments. Today, a degree from Sheffield is recognised all over the world as a hallmark of academic excellence. We are proud of our graduates and we are confident that you will make a difference wherever you choose to build your future. With every generation of graduates, our university goes from strength to strength. This is the original fundraising poster from 1904/1905 which helped raise donations for the University of Sheffield. Over £50,000 (worth more than £15 million today) was donated by steelworkers, coal miners, factory workers and the people of Sheffield in penny donations to help found the University. A century on, the University is now rated as one of the top world universities – according to the Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities.

Protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatases generate and terminate these phosphoryl signals, respectively. Chemical approaches for studying protein phosphorylation and the roles of phosphoproteins include photolabile caged analogs of bioactive species.

As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Nobel Special Issue of Chemical Physics Letters Editorial The hallmark of Chemical Physics Letters is the fast publication of urgent communications of the highest quality. It has not escaped our notice that this policy has allowed several of the breakthrough papers in chemistry to be published in our journal. Indeed, looking through Chemical Physics Letters over the last 42 years we found papers published by as many as 15 authors who went on subsequently to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for work linked to their articles. Furthermore, several of these papers were referenced in the Nobel citations. We thought our readers would find it of interest to see a collection of these papers brought together and introduced with summaries explaining their significance and written by the Nobelists themselves, close colleagues or editors of the journal.

    2010 Newsletter

    UCL DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY Welcome to ChemUCL! It is a pleasure for me to introduce the 2010 newsletter. I hope it has been a productive and enjoyable year for all of you. I have taken over as head of department from Professor Steve Caddick as of the 1st of May. I am sure you would like to join with me in thanking Steve for his work as head of department for the past two and half years. Steve will still continue his research in the department but has taken over as UCL Vice Provost for Enterprise. There are lots of exciting updates in the following pages that cover every aspects of the life in the department. In particular at the time of writing our new intake for both undergraduates (120+) and postgraduates (60+) is signifi cantly above anything the department has managed to achieve in the last thirty years. The quality of the students is again suitably impressive with for example, the fi rst 70 undergraduates getting as a minimum AAA at A-level. Furthermore there is a veritable forest of the new A* A-level grades across the intake. The department has also undergone a face lift over the last month with the front entrance being completely remodelled, including a new full glass fronted entrance, new card access and, although not quite to my taste, a very vivid colour scheme. I look forward to seeing many of you at the Lab Dinner. Best wishes Ivan P. Parkin, Head of Department LAB DINNER 2010 Th e annual Lab Dinner will be held in the Old Refectory on Friday 26th November 2010 Th e provisional programme is as follows: 16.00 Afternoon tea in the Nyholm Room 17.00 Pre-dinner lecture by Dr Andrea Sella, Ramsay Lecture Th eatre 18.15 Pre-dinner drinks in the North Cloisters 19.15 Dinner in the Old Refectory, speaker: Prof.
