Progress in membrane protein structure analysis is continuing at an increasing pace. Latest structural results and new developments in related techniques will be reported and discussed in a beautiful location at the southern foot of the Swiss Alps. The meeting intends to attract scientists from academia and industry and in particular students entering the field.
14 May 2006 - 19 May 2006
The structure and function of ion channels, electron transfer proteins, transporters, receptors, and aquaporins will be presented. Such proteins will be described at the atomic level, as well as in the context of the native membrane. Large scale expression and engineering of membrane proteins for structural analyses will be discussed. Further topics concern progress in 2D and 3D crystallization of membrane proteins, X-ray and electron crystallography, atomic force microscopy and NMR.
