Structure and dynamics of biomolecules by MAS NMR
5th June 2016, Principina Terra (Grosseto),Italy
CHIANTI WORKSHOP 2016 SATELLITE event
Registration deadline : 15th May 2016
last update 01/06/2016
A series of tutorial lectures will illustrate some recent advances in the investigation of structure and dynamics of complex biomolecular systems with the help of solid-state NMR under magic-angle spinning.
Methods and applications to biological systems at the forefront of modern biology such as fibrils and membrane proteins will be presented.
This event will be held just before the Chianti Workshop (5-10th June 2016).
More information about the workshop here.
