The complex life of proteins: Folding, Trafficking, Misfolding, Aggregation and Repair – Biophysics Workshops in South Africa

The complex life of proteins: Folding, Trafficking, Misfolding, Aggregation and Repair

Topic

Date: 24 April 2024, 4:00 pm

In this talk, I will review briefly the problem of protein folding, and how it may go wrong. I will then introduce broadly the cellular machines that take care of these problems and show how the combination of different experimental techniques with theory and computation can provide us with a satisfying description of the mechanism of some of them.
