Molecular machines
Many of the most complex molecular machines can be found within cells as multi-protein complexes that facilitate a number of biological processes. In this virtual event, researchers summarize their work with macromolecular machinery in cell biology, including enzymes involved in heme biosynthesis, the membrane symporter lactose permease, molecular systems responsible for viral attachment and molecular chaperones important for cell survival.
The talks in this virtual event were originally programmed to take place as an in-person Spotlight Session at the 2020 ASBMB Annual Meeting.
