Conference - Oxford, UK
The replication, maintenance and transcription of the genome require an array of protein machines including polymerases, helicases, translocases, nucleases, recombinases and topoisomerases, often functioning as components of multi-protein complexes. Machines on Genes II will bring together scientists with an interest in multi- and inter-disciplinary approaches for unravelling the anatomy, architecture and mechanisms of these remarkable molecular machines. The conference will cover topics in DNA replication, recombination, repair and transcription and will showcase the latest work of world leaders in the fields of structural biology, chemical biology and novel biophysical methods including single-molecule detection.
Topics:
Mechanisms of DNA/RNA motor proteins
Biochemical and biophysical analysis of DNA:protein interactions
New mechanistic insights into DNA replication, recombination, repair and transcription
Architecture of multi-protein machines involved in complex DNA/RNA transactions
Application of new biophysical methods including single molecule detection
