773 Molecular Simulation of Protein Adsorption and Molecular Recognition Processes


Description:
We invite papers presenting computational investigations of the interactions between complex molecules (polymers, proteins, protein mimics, etc.) and structured surfaces. Contributions discussing the use of free energy and enhanced sampling methods are especially encouraged. Additionally, contributions addressing the intersection between experimental studies and the use of relevant molecular simulations to understand and interpret experiments are encouraged.
