"ON THE ANALYSIS OF MOLECULAR FLEXIBILITY AND FUNCTION"

 

Systems Biology faces significant challenges due to the rapidly growing wealth of information about biological systems, such as protein-protein interaction networks, signaling networks, transcription networks, and metabolic networks. There is no doubt that computational tools are required to process and understand the avalanche of available data, but important questions remain unanswered.

This talk will discuss the need to augment existing networks with additional information and the research efforts in our group that are focused on understanding the conformational flexibility and function of proteins. 

 

Come on over at 3:45 for some refreshments before the seminar.
