Biophysics of Proteins at Surfaces

October 13 – 15, 2015, Madrid, Complutense University (Spain).

BPS Thematic Meeting | Biophysics of Proteins at Surfaces: Assembly, Activation, Signaling.

This meeting will focus on different aspects related to the biophysics of tuning protein functions through their assembly into biological or engineered surfaces.

Topics

Particular aspects covered will include:

• Effect of the interaction with surfaces on the molecular structure of proteins and protein assemblies, with special interest in the modulation by surface-promoted orientation and two-dimensional accumulation of lipid-protein and protein-protein interactions
• Effect of two-dimensional organization and entropy loss on the modulation of protein function
• The potential of introducing properly engineered surfaces to generate new or improved protein-based applications

Deadlines

• Abstract Submission: June 15 2015
• Early Registration: June 23
