We are glad to support the 3rd German workshop on structural predictions of membrane proteins: From ion channels to G protein-coupled receptors organized by the Computanionl Biomedicine Institute (INM-) at the FZ Jülich

By gathering together top-level German Researchers (Ariane Ferreira Nunes Alves, TU Berlin; Han Sun, FMP Berlin, Bert de Groot, MPI Göttingen, Mislav Brajković, HITS, Florian Seufert, proteininformatics Gerhard Wolber, FU Berlin & Antonella Di Pizio, LSP München) in the field, this meeting, which is now at the third edition, will highlight current challenges and future perspectives in molecular simulation and bioinformatics approaches to be applied to GPCR and ion channel model structures. Theorists working on GPCRs and ion channels share similar computational challenges for modelling and simulations, some of which will be discussed at the workshop. Importantly, this year, the meeting is also extended to Swiss researchers in the field and it is enriched by a special session with experimentalists on “Membrane Structural Biology and Biophysics” to cover experimental mechanistic structural work related to membrane-associated proteins and their cellular processes.
