'BIO-NMR', Barcelona, Spain

An event entitled 'BIO-NMR' will take place from 12 to 13 March 2012 in Barcelona, Spain. A complete understanding of the most relevant biological processes can be achieved only by the three-dimensional description of the biomolecules and the complexes involved in these functions. Increasing evidence demonstrates the fundamental role of conformational dynamics in biological activity. With its versatility, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has notably furthered understanding of molecular function from a structural and dynamic perspective. Computational tools have been crucial for the full exploitation of the wide variety of parameters that can be measured by NMR, and have made a considerable contribution to the derivation of more accurate structural and dynamic models of biomolecules. This event is being sponsored by the EU-funded 'NMR for structural biology' (BIO-NMR) project, which is seeking to link the power of NMR to structural, dynamic, kinetic and thermodynamic information. The project partners are seeking to develop methods aimed at pushing the frontiers of biological NMR and improving the quality of access to allow users to tackle ever more challenging goals in cellular structural biology.For further information, please visit: http://mmb.pcb.ub.es/BioNMR2012/index.htm(opens in new window) For more information on this project, please visit: http://www.bio-nmr.net/(opens in new window)
