Hi all, The deadline to register for the COMPPÅ symposium at Columbia University in New York (covering production, structure determination, functional analysis and engineering of membrane proteins, 17-19 June 2018) is coming up in less than a week - May 1!
Register here to attend and/or submit an abstract for a poster/short talk: https://www.comppaa.org/comppaa-symposium-2018 See below for a list of invited speakers with provisional titles - I think the meeting is shaping up very nicely, and we’d all love to see you there! Cheers, Oliver Clarke Radu Aricescu: Human GABAA receptor structures and signalling mechanisms Susan Buchanan: Structural insight into the biogenesis of beta barrel membrane proteins Martin Caffrey: Mesophase Mirabilis. The Lipid Cubic Phase as a System for Investigating Membrane Proteins Erhu Cao: Structures and mechanisms of the polycystic disease channel PKD2 Liz Carpenter: Structures of the glycosylation enzyme DPAGT1 help to explain how some congenital disorders of glycosylation arise Bil Clemons: Computational tools to solve the membrane protein expression problem Karen Fleming: Protein Folding Experiments Reveal Foundations of Stability in Membrane Proteins Lucy Forrest: COMPPAAring and analyzing the structures and symmetries of membrane proteins using EncoMPASS Tony Kossiakoff: Pre-Fabs: Developing “Plug and Play” fiducial marks Werner Kühlbrandt: CryoEM of energy-converting membrane protein complexes Kaspar Locher: Structural insight into bacterial and eukaryotic glycosyltransferases facilitating protein N-glycosylation Chris Miller: A CLC-type F-/H+ antiporter in ion-swapped conformations Dan Minor: Discovery of a Cryptic, DruggableSite in the Heart of a Polymodal Ion Channel Crina Nimigean Ligand discrimination and gating in CNG channels Poul Nissen: The structure and dynamics of P-type ATPases Eduardo Perozo: Structural Basis of Voltage-Dependent Gating in Ion Channels and Enzymes Andreas Plückthun: Evolving GPCRs for enabling structural and functional studies Irina Serysheva: Ligand-mediated Allostery of IP3R Channel: Lessons from Cryo- EM Randy Stockbridge: The unusually selective Fluc family fluoride channels Nieng Yan: How is electrical signal generated?
