671 Thermophysical Properties of Biological Systems

Thursday, November 12, 2015: 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM
255B (Salt Palace 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.
