Dear all,

 

you are cordially invited to the upcoming workshop organized by the Biomolecular Interaction and Crystallization Core Facility of CEITEC. The workshop entitled „Current State-of-Art to Study Biomolecular Interactions and Assemblies in Life Sciences“ will be dedicated to various biophysical techniques used for the study of biomolecular interactions, protein production and purification problematics. The program of the workshop will consist of eight lectures given by outstanding speakers (see the attachment for the list of speakers). 

 

WHEN: November 10, 2014-10-16
WHERE: Mendel Museum in Augustinian Abbey, Mendel Square, Brno

 

Link to the event:

The program consists of 8 lectures given by the distinguished speakers:

 

Patrick England
A general overview of the world of biophysical approaches to study macromolecular assemblies and interactions 

 

Peter Gimeson
Managing heat and disorder, calorimetric assays in life sciences

 

Olwyn Byron
Biomolecular interactions observed and quantified by AUC and SAS

 

Valérie Belle
Probing structural flexibility in proteins using site-directed spin labelling combined with EPR spectroscopy

 

Arthur Sedivy
MicroScale Thermophoresis – a short history and outlook about the technique and its application

 

Alexey Rak
The use of virtual screening, DSF and MicroScale Thermophoresis for the rapid identification of fragments active against MEK1

 

Gregor Anderluh
Interactions of pore-forming proteins with lipid membranes

 

Frank Bernhard 
Cell-free production of membrane proteins

 

Those who would be also interested in XVI. Meeting of Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (http://orion.chemi.muni.cz/setkani/Setkani16/web_eng/index_en.htm), which is held in hotel Continental, November 11-12, 2014, can send the abstract till Tuesday 28. Then the abstract book will be sent for printing. Registration is free including refreshment and lunch.

 

Kind regards

 

Michaela Wimmerova
