Spectroscopy of Biological Systems
Advances in instrumental techniques are pushing the analytical boundaries for the spectroscopic study of biological macromolecules. Both the structure and dynamics of biomacromolecular assemblies are being probed with unprecedented detail using optical, NMR and mass spectroscopies. This symposium highlights some recent developments in the application of these cutting edge technologies to important problems in basic and disease-related biochemistry. The session will be headlined by Dr. David Cowburn of the NY Structural Biology consortium, and Dr. Bob Callender of Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and will include other leading speakers from industry and academia.
