Mini-Symposium on Analysis and simulation of biomolecular structures
July 08, 2011
|
The function of biomolecules is determined by their three dimensional
structures and their associated intrinsic motion. Dynamic events that span
across multiple time scales - from picoseconds for small conformational
changes in protein molecules, milliseconds in protein-ligand binding,
govern various biological processes. Mechanistic insights into the various
dynamic events are crucial for understanding biological function.
Molecular simulations play an important role in this as it enables the
study of various biomolecular systems under different conditions and
different states. Analyses of the results from such simulations give us
insights about the dynamic nature of biomolecules, in fact providing an
important link between experiment and modelling of the physical behaviour
of complex biological systems.
The symposium will consist of a series of talks from experts in the field
of biomolecular simulations and analyses. The topics include structures
and function of proteins and nucleic acids, geometry, topology and physics
of proteins, stability and flexibility analysis of biomolecular
structures, intermolecular interactions, molecular dynamics simulations
and analysis of protein structures through graph theory.
