Dear Friends: We invite group leaders, graduate students, and postdocs to join us for a symposium at the 2023 ACS National Meeting, this March 26-30, 2023. Our symposium is titled “Frontiers of Structural Biology in Complex Environments” and is intended to bring together experts in experimental and computational approaches to biomolecular structure to discuss contemporary challenges and solutions in the field.
*The abstract deadline is October 17, 2023, about a week away.* The symposium description is at the end of this message. and the link is below. We have plenty of space for promoted talks. Please forward this to anyone you feel may be interested. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting! https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/acs-meetings/spring-2023/presenters/submit-an-abstract.html *Please be sure to select the symposium “Frontiers of Structural Biology in Complex Environments” from the Division of Physical Chemistry (PHYS) to make sure your abstract is routed to our symposium.* Many Thanks, Dylan On behalf of the organizing committee: *Matthew Eddy, **University of Florida*, matthew.e...@chem.ufl.edu *Kendra Frederick*, *University of Texas Southwestern*, kendra.freder...@utsouthwestern.edu *Dylan T. Murray*, *University of California, Davis*, dtmur...@ucdavis.edu *Frontiers of Structural Biology in Complex Environments* Decades of careful experimentation and analysis by biophysical chemists have formed a foundation for contemporary scientists to understand the structure and function of proteins in the incredibly complex environments of living organisms. Recent advances in experimental and computational approaches have made it possible to describe and predict the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomolecular assemblies in complex environments in vitro, in situ, in cells, and in the extracellular environment. Despite these exciting advances, many challenges remain in integrating techniques and approaches that span multiple time and length scales, and in understanding how atomic level changes drive functional biological outputs in the cellular environment. The symposium will bring together experimentalists and theorists who apply cutting-edge methods to determine the structure of biomolecules at or near atomic level precision in such environments. Speakers will discuss recent progress in the field and future challenges in the areas (1) atomic resolution studies of large complexes, (2) biomolecular condensation, (3) in situ studies in cell and cell-like environments, (4) in vitro cellular environments, and (5) biophysical experiments in multi-cellular environments. --------------------------------------------- Dylan T.
