BPS Thematic Meeting
Weak Protein-Ligand Interactions: New Horizons in Biophysics and Cell Biology
October 14–19, 2012, Beijing
The Biophysical Society and the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are co-sponsoring a meeting on Weak Protein-Ligand Interactions: New Horizons in Biophysics and Cell Biology, in Beijing, October 14–19, 2012.
The meeting will emphasize technological advances and applications in studying weak protein-ligand interactions using a variety of cutting-edge biophysical, biochemical, and cell biology techniques. These techniques will include:
- NMR spectroscopy
- X-ray crystallography
- Co-immunoprecipitation and pull-down
- In vivo fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)
- Yeast hybrid and phage display
- Chemical crosslinking
- Mass spectroscopy
- Small angle light scattering
- Computational docking
- Single molecule fluorescence spectroscopy
- Atomic force microscopy
- Magnetic tweezers
- Surface plasmon resonance
- Isothermal calorimetry titration
The meeting’s organizing committee members are Jun Qin, Cleveland Clinic; Zihe Rao, Nankai University, China; Ruiming Xu, Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; and Rongguang Zhang, Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
