Rational Protein Design
Rational design of proteins with enhanced properties such as stability, solubility, novel structures and functions is one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing areas of computational biochemistry. Leaders in the field will discuss various strategies for rational protein design. This will include the most recent innovations in both experimental methods and computational algorithms.
