Session 126 - Thermodynamics of Protein Folding and Aggregation
This session seeks submissions focused on experimental and theoretical characterization and prediction of the thermodynamics and mechanism(s) of protein folding, and the role of aggregation as an on- or off-pathway aspect of (un)folding. Aggregation in this context is intended to include both reversible association and net irreversible aggregate formation. Preference will be given to presentations that provide insights of general utility, and those focused on relatively complex (un)folding pathways such as multi-domain and natively multimeric proteins.
Chair: Todd M. Przybycien
