Seminar Series on Self-Assembling Biological Systems
Prof. Thomas Schwartz
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
Prereq: none
Self-Assembly of macromolecules, notably proteins, is of central importance for any living cell. These self-organized systems come in an astonishing number of flavors and many we are just beginning to appreciate. Technically often challenging to study, this series highlights some of the most recent findings from a broad spectrum of these systems.
