The 9th NanoLSI Open Seminar by Dr. Jin Yu and Dr. Jeffrey Noel
On March 13, NanoLSI held the Open Seminar at Natural Science and Technology Hall 5.
In Talk 1, Dr. Jin Yu from the Beijing Computational Science Research Center has presented her recent results on atomistically resolved molecular-dynamics simulations for two protein nano-machines, F1-ATPase (experimentally investigated at NanoLSI) and RNA polymerase. High-performance supercomputers in Beijing were used in this research aimed at the understanding of operation mechanisms of such important molecular systems.
In Talk 2, Dr. Jeffrey Noel from the Max Delbrück Center (MDC) for Molecular Medicine and the Fritz Haber Institute, Berlin, has reported results of extensive structurally-resolved computer simulations of the ribosome, addressing the crucial mechanism of proofreading by this multiple-protein system. He has also talked about the current progress in multi-scale simulations of the filaments formed by the membrane remodeling protein dynamin (experimentally investigated at MDC and NanoLSI).
Both talks were followed by active discussions.
