Knapp Center for Biomedical Discovery, room 3200
University of Chicago (directions)
In association with the Frontiers in Membrane Protein Structural Dynamics conference (May 7-9, Chicago Hilton), we will have a workshop focused on spectroscopic approaches for studies of membrane protein dynamics Wednesday May 7 at the University of Chicago. The workshop will be oriented towards young investigators who wish to learn techniques needed for real time monitoring. Talks will address techniques in solid-state and solution NMR, EPR including DEER approaches, infrared, fluorescence and single molecule techniques including magnetic tweezers.
Attendance will be limited. For further information, please contact Lisa Anderson at landerso@bsd.uchicago.edu.
The Workshop is co-chaired by Marc Baldus from Utrecht University and the MPSDC Dynamics of Ion Permeation and Conformational Coupling in – KcsA Project, and Yeon-Kyun Shin from Iowa State University.
