Subject: 16.05.28 Second Polish-Korean Conference on "Protein Folding: Theoretical and Experimental Approaches"
The Second Polish-Korean Conference on "Protein Folding:
Theoretical and Experimental Approaches"
Conference web page: http://pkc2016.ug.edu.pl/
Time: May 28 (Sat ) - June 1 (Wed), 2016
Place: Lezno Palace near Gdansk, Poland
Investigating the folding and misfolding of proteins and other biological
molecules is of utmost importance in the post-Genome era because of its
role in the functioning of the living cells. Protein misfolding can lead
to cancer and hereditary diseases; designing effective therapies and drugs
against such diseases is one of the long-term goals of the research on
protein folding. This research requires extensive collaboration between
biochemists, biophysicists, chemical and theoretical physicists,
theoretical chemists, and bioniformaticians. The researchers from the
University of Gdansk, Poland, and Korea Institute for Advanced Study
(KIAS), Republic of Korea are very active in protein-folding research and
the two institutions have a long-time history of collaboration in the field.
This collaboration prompted the idea of organizing a series of conferences
held in Seoul and in Gdansk, on an alternating basis, to promote scientific
collaboration and exchange between the scientists of the Republic of Korea
and Poland, as well as other countries in Asia and Europe, on protein
folding and related fields. The first conference of the series was held
from May 24 to May 28 in Seoul (http://lee.kias.re.kr/insilico/workshop/1st_KIAS_Gdansk/main.html).
Topics Covered:
Protein folding, thermodynamics & kinetics of folding,
physical principles of folding, protein structure and function,
structure prediction, protein misfolding, aggregation & diseases,
protein evolution, protein networks, protein-protein interactions,
protein-ligand interactions, sequence design,
protein modeling and simulation, including all-atom and coarse-grained
force fields and algorithms.
