A symposium will be held on May 23-24, 2023, to mark the opening the new Institute of Biochemistry at the JKU and its head Prof. Frans A.A. Mulder.
The symposium will focus on molecular structures, dynamics, and functions.
Fifteen renowned international scholars will present information about applying structural and biophysical methods to biochemistry at the molecular level, including NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, molecular simulations, and complementary methods.
The quest for a quantitative description of biological phenomena at the molecular level is at the core of the symposium.
Location: Uni-Center Loft at the Johannes Kepler University.
Date: May 23 - 24, 20023
