Embracing disorder: Protein mechanism insights from NMR

Many of the cell’s most vital functions are mediated by proteins that are often disordered in areas that are critical for the proper function of the organism.

In this SelectScience webinar, Professor Jane Dyson of the Scripps Research Institute will discuss the important role that intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) play in cellular processes. Prof. Dyson will explain how to apply high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to provide structural data, at an atomic level, obtained in the proteins’ native state.

Key learning objectives:

• Explore the importance of intrinsic disorder in proteins for cell function and dysfunction
• Find out how NMR has become the primary tool of investigation for IDPs
• Discover the experimental approaches revealing IDP function, dynamics, and interactions

Who should attend:

Researchers in academia and the pharmaceutical industry interested in IDPs and how to study these by using NMR.
