Neutron Scattering Workshop on
Biomolecular Dynamics and
Protein-Water Interactions
Sept. 24-26 2008 in Feldafing/Munich
Organizers: Wolfgang Doster, Thomas Gutberlet, Christina Scharnagl
The dynamics of biological systems is a general and important topic to understand structure and function of life processes. The workshop addresses recent aspects of biomolecular dynamics in the context of neutron scattering experiments. This includes the controversial discussion concerning the mechanism of the dynamical transition, the role of hydration water, proteins in extreme environments, collective motions, biological function and simulation of neutron scattering spectra.
The workshop provides a forum, where all groups working in the field, can present their point of view.
Topics:
- The protein dynamical transition; mechanism and components
- Dynamics of protein adsorbed water
- Protein structural fluctuations in solution, solvent effects
- Effects of ligand binding and protein association on protein dynamics
- Proteins and pressure
- Protein diffusion in congested solutions and cells
- Molecular dynamics simulations and neutron scattering
