Lipases: Structure, function and applications
The workshop will bring together scientists engaged in studies of lipase structure-function relationships
and in protein-lipid interactions in more general terms. It will also be the closing meeting of the BIOTECH project on lipase structure-function relationships in which a number of European laboratories have participated.
Topics to be covered will include:
- Structure of lipases and mechanism of action;
- Phospholipases;
- Lipase inhibitors;
- Physico-chemistry of lipids;
- Protein-lipid interactions;
- Mammalian lipases;
- New lipases;
- New methods for protein engineering of lipases;
- Industrial applications.
