NSCPHD1264 Functional Protein Dynamics
Biology
Molecular Biomedicine
This summer school focuses on functional dynamics in proteins occurring on timescales ranging from picoseconds to hours as well as their relation to protein function. Recent innovations in experimental biophysics, including NMR, single molecule studies, X-ray and neutron scattering, and mass spectrometry have pushed the limits for biological studies and it is now possible to investigate dynamic processes on timescales and at a resolution that were previously inaccessible. Together with these developments, computational tools have now matured to a level where they can be used both to predict protein properties and help interpret experiments at the atomic level. Importantly, this synergy between experiments and simulations creates novel, exciting avenues to study the fundamental dynamics that drive protein folding, protein-ligand interactions and allosteric regulation of proteins.
