Abstract

How do you make a movie of a single particle jiggling and wiggling with atomic resolution and ultra-fast temporal resolution? How do you calculate the energy landscape or the kinetics/dynamics of a sequence of conformational changes? What do you do with millions and millions of snapshots, each for a random orientational and/or conformational state, noisy and with artifacts? How can I use symmetry to my advantage? We will answer all these questions and more.

SPEAKERS:   Peter Schwander, Ali Dashti, Ahmad Hosseinizadeh, Marius Schmidt and Dilano Saldin. 

Topics:       Manifold Embedding – From Single-Particle Snapshots to Movies of Molecular Machines and Energy Landscapes

                   Structure Based Protein Dynamics 

                   Finding the Structures of Randomly Oriented Particles: Method of Angular Correlations.
