717 Thermophysical Properties of Biological Systems

Thursday, November 17, 2016: 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM
Yosemite C (Hilton San Francisco Union Square)
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.
