As part of the Distinguished Lecturer Series (DLS) at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Tuomas Knowles from the University of Cambridge will talk about the biophysics of protein aggregation. Due to the circumstances, the lecture will be held virtually via Zoom.
Abstract:
This talk describes our efforts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of protein aggregation as well as the kinetics of this process and how these features connect to the biological roles that these structures can have in both health and disease. A particular focus will be on the development and use of tools and concepts from physical chemistry, in particular chemical reaction kinetics, to discover molecular assembly pathways in amyloid formation. Moreover I will discuss the development of new microfluidics approaches to study heterogeneous protein self-assembly and their application to explore the molecular determinants of amyloid formation from peptides and proteins.

Poster DLS Tuomas Knowles You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
