A New Horizon in Dynamic Structural Biology via Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Electron cryo-Microscopy

July 2nd (Thur.)- 6th (Mon.), 2020, Hokkaido, Japan

General Information

In this meeting, we discuss dynamic structural biology using electron cryo-microscopy (cryo-EM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of biomolecules. These two techniques should be more important to investigate structure-dynamics-function relationships of biomolecules in a living cell. The meeting will consist of about 40 invited speakers and 20 posters, in total. We hope to have fruitful discussion about current research and future collaboration between experiments and simulations for dynamic structural biology.
