Afternoon with Chemistry or Chemistry Café: HOW PROTEINS EXIST AND HOW WE KNOW IT
5:00 PM
–
7:00 PM
We invite you to Afternoon with Chemistry with Prof. Lukáš Žídek, from CEITEC MU and the National Centre for Biomolecules Research, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University.
What will the café be about?
The lecture will introduce high school colleagues to the field of knowledge at the intersection of chemistry, physics and biology. In the introduction, the lecturer will try to describe the repertoire of structural motifs encountered in proteins and summarize the principles that determine the structure and behavior of protein molecules. The main part of the talk will introduce the methods that have provided us with information about protein structures (X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, computational methods).
