Thermophysical Properties of Biological Systems II

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

Description:
The focus of this session is the study of complex processes in biological systems. Contributions from theoreticians, simulators, and experimentalists are welcome. Suggested topics include protein-protein interactions, concentration and crowding effects on biomolecular folding and stability, misfolding and aggregation events, interactions of proteins with interfaces, and self-assembly of biological molecules.
