Gordon Research Conference — Cellulases and Other Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes

Theoretical and computational models of biomolecular systems are increasingly predictive, providing the opportunity to qualitatively interpret and quantitatively characterize the results of experiment. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has emerged as a major technique for the characterization of protein structure and dynamics, providing the opportunity in turn to benchmark and validate computational models. This Summer School will present state-of-the-art computational and experimental techniques for the study of biomolecular dynamics, emphasizing the synergy between theory, computation, and experiment. Students will develop an appreciation for the nature and scope of each technique.
