361 Protein Structure, Function, and Stability


Description:
This session highlights advances in understanding of protein structure, function, and stability. Studies that utilize experimental, computational, or combined approaches are all welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, structural or functional analyses of proteins, structure-based protein engineering, characterization of post-translational modifications that alter protein properties, analysis of protein conformational stability, and new approaches for producing hard-to-synthesize proteins in functional form.
