"Physics Inspired by Biology"
May 4-6, 2007
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Topics of this workshop will include:
- The Coulomb effects in molecular biological systems, including
structures of chromosomes and viruses, as well as virus
self-organization;
- Diffusion and transport in molecular biology, including
protein search strategies, DNA unzipping, DNA translocation,
DNA reptation from the virus head;
- Statistical physics of macromolecules, including folding,
sequence design, and sequence evolution, as well as knots
and topological constraints in polymeric systems;
- Statistical mechanics views on evolution, including fractal
networks describing sequence and structure space of proteins;
- Physics of ion channels, including the physics of selectivity
of channels.
Due to limited space, participation is by invitation
only.
Registration: March 1, 2007 for invited participants
