Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Protein-ligand interactions are often considered as contacts of rigid bodies. Macromolecules, however, exhibit high degree of plasticity which can be used for their dynamic conformational readout. This readout greatly expands the repertoire of molecular recognition mechanisms but is also difficult to study. In this talk, I will present several examples of studies of dynamic conformational sampling of nucleic acids from various pathways including reverse transcription and DNA repair.
