Dear Students and Colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the lecture of MU Life Sciences Seminar:

"Probing the Dynamics and Interactions of Disordered Proteins with Single-molecule Spectroscopy: From Disordered Complexes to Phase Separation" by Ben Schuler (University of Zurich).

WHEN: Thursday, May 2, 2024, at 4 p.m.
WHERE: Seminar room 132, pavilion B11, University Campus Bohunice

  Remember to bring your ISIC card to the lecture.

  We ask students not to leave the lectures before they are officially over.
(i.e. after all questions have been answered) It is impolite to the lecturer, the organizing team and other students.

  PhD students who would like to attend a sponsored lunch with Prof. Schuler (Thursday, at 13:00 at Campus River), please register by Wednesday May 1st, 2024 using the form at the website.

With best regards,
Linda Nosková

Probing the Dynamics and Interactions of Disordered Proteins with Single-molecule Spectroscopy: From Disordered Complexes to Phase Separation

The functions of proteins have traditionally been linked to their folded structures, but many proteins perform essential functions without being folded. Quantifying the highly dynamic and conformationally diverse ensembles of these intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and their interaction mechanisms is an important aspect of understanding their functions. I will focus on highly charged IDPs and illustrate how single-molecule spectroscopy combined with simulations and other methods can be used to probe their dynamics, interactions, and phase separation.
