EMBO Practical Course: The application of kinetic methods to dynamic biological systems.

25 – 30 June 2017 | School of Biosciences, University of Kent, Canterbury, United Kingdom

http://meetings.embo.org/event/17-kinetics

The EMBO Practical Course is designed to give a thorough training in the principles and practice of transient and single molecule kinetics as applied to biological macromolecules.

Transient kinetics is a well-established field which has made major contributions to the understanding of both the mechanisms of enzymes and to the central role of protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions in biological processes such as signalling, motility, gene expression, protein folding and DNA replication. Over the past two decades, single molecule methods have been developed to complement and advance these fields. Yet it remains a field dominated by specialists, despite the wide availability of the equipment. The practical course is designed to increase the awareness and accessibility of these methods to a wider group of biologists.

Registration Deadline: 28 February 2017

Organisers:  Mike Geeves and Chris Toseland

Co-organisers: Roger Goody, Dagmar Klostermeier, Simone Kunzelmann, Corinne Lionne, Jochen Reinstein
