Protein Engineering II: Computational Approaches

Tuesday, November 18, 2008: 12:30 PM
Room 107-B (Pennsylvania Convention Center)

Description:
The focus of this session is to reflect the latest advances in protein engineering and design. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: (1) Development of high throughput screen/selection for protein engineering; (2)Development of novel protein engineering methods; (3) Protein engineering via directed evolution; (4) Structure- or sequence-based and computational protein engineering and design; (5) Applications of protein engineering.
