Computer Simulations of Large-Scale, Long-Time Biomolecular Transport: Examples and Theoretical Methods

Speaker: Ioan Andricioaei, University of California, Irvine

Host: Garegin Papoian

Abstract:

Biomolecules pass through biological pores one at a time, and therefore this process is to be fundamentally understood at the single-molecule level. In my talk, I will present virtual single-molecule experiments, i.e., computer simulation results obtained by my research team that showcase several examples of pore transport. They will include protein translocation through mitochondrial pores, DNA ejection from bacteriophage viruses, and dendrimer transport in the context of single-pore current measurements.

Seminars start at 4:00 pm, and refreshments will be served at 3:45 pm. All seminars are held in the Conference Room (1116) of the Institute for Physical Science and Technology (IPST) Building (Bldg #085) unless otherwise noted.
