781 Protein Structure, Function, and Stability

Friday, November 18, 2016: 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Continental 9 (Hilton San Francisco Union Square)
Description:
We invite submissions pertaining to protein structure, function, stability, and dynamics. Studies that utilize experimental and/or computational approaches are welcome. Topics include, but are not limited to, structural or functional analysis, engineering of new proteins by structure-based design, effects of post-translational modifications, and analysis of protein conformational stability.
