This conference will bring together scientists from disciplines including biochemistry, biophysics, polymer chemistry, and chemical, molecular and cell biology in order to explore the latest conceptual and technical developments related to biomembranes.
The development of innovative methods for extracting and stabilizing membrane complexes such as SMA and related copolymers, scaffolds, saposins, peptidiscs, and native vesicles has driven progress in this growing field.
The advances rely on novel agents that fragment membranes into water-soluble nanodiscs, allowing the complex native structures and interactions found in vivo to be discerned without the scrambling and destabilization caused by conventional detergents.
