Event Description

Speaker: Martin Gruebele, U. Illinois.

Title: “Protein and RNA folding from in vitro to in vivo”

Abstract: The environment in the cell modulates the free energy of proteins and RNA molecules in subtle ways, yet sufficient to shift folding or binding populations significantly under the right conditions.  I will begin with progress in “in vitro” experimental and computational studies, and then I will discuss the effects of crowding and biomolecular interactions, or “quinary structure” inside the cell.  Examples include client-chaperone binding, protein folding, and protein RNA interactions studied thermodynamically and on a millisecond time scale inside cells.
