Event details
Experimental data from various sources can be used to steer simulations of biomolecules and molecular assemblies. With this Micro-Symposium, we explore the interface between simulation and experiment, covering techniques such as Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and X-ray Crystallography.
Scientific Organisers Jon Essex (Chemistry) and Ivo Tews (Centre for Biological Sciences), supported by CCPBioSim and the Institute for Life Sciences.
15:00 - 16:00 arrival and mixer
16:00 Combining Experiment and Simulation in Molecular Imaging
Jon Essex: Trends in Molecular Dynamics simulation
Ivo Tews: The dynamic future of crystallography
16:10 Corey Hecksel - eBIC @ Diamond - New horizons in electron microscopic imaging
Revolutionary developments in the field of electron microscopy allows imaging at near-atomic resolution and offers insights into cell biology using tomography. The electron Bio-Imaging Centre offers access to two powerful cryo-electron microscopes.
16:45 Albert Solernou, Leeds - Bridging the scales in modelling
Mesoscale modelling of biomolecules using Fluctuating Finite Element Analysis (FFEA). The talk will include modelling of molecular behaviour based on EM data.
17:20 Kresten Lindorff-Larsen, Copenhagen - The dynamic nature of biomolecules
Combining simulations and experimental restraints derived from NMR with a focus on dynamics and dynamical averaging. Examples about combinations of different kinds of information will be given.
17:55 - 18:20 coffee break
18:20 Tom Burnley, CCPEM - More than one - dynamics in crystal structures using ensemble refinement
The simultaneous refinement of anisotropic and anharmonic disorder in protein structures using a molecular dynamics approach reduces the discrepancy between measurement and model error in macromolecular crystal structures.
18:55 Robert Rambo, Diamond B21 - Changing shape: small angle scattering and conformational space
In solution, molecules and molecular assemblies often show a number of conformations. Conformational space can be investigated using small angle scattering, and molecular dynamics helps in the interpretation of these data.
