Conference: Protein Folding on the Ribosome

Dec 15, 2024, 3:00 PM → Dec 18, 2024, 2:00 PM Europe/Berlin

Harnack House

Prof. Marina Rodnina

Following the exciting meetings in Cambridge, Stockholm, Berlin, and Baltimore, we will continue the discussion of the emerging concept of the translational tuning of protein folding. The focus of this meeting will be on nascent polypeptide chain structure and folding, regulation of translation, and nascent chain targeting and translocation to membranes.

Prof. Marina Rodnina Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Germany	Prof. John Christodoulou University College of London, UK	Prof. Gunnar von Heijne Stockholm University, Sweden
Prof. Zoya Ignatova University of Hamburg, Germany	Prof. Anton Komar Cleveland State University, USA	Prof. Susan Marqusee University of California, Berkley, USA
