Understanding Protein Interactions: from Molecules to Organisms
24-26 April 2017 Lyon, France
Despite progress with experimental high-throughput techniques for the analysis of protein-protein interactions, bioinformatics, molecular
modeling and simulation can play important roles in determining the stability and the structure of protein complexes, in identifying weak
transient interactions, in understanding the role of non-functional interactions in a crowed molecular environment and in analyzing dynamic
protein interaction networks. Molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, bioinformatics and molecular simulation all have important roles to
play in understanding the complex protein networks that populate living matter. These networks in turn rely on protein-protein interactions
that are characterized by structures, stabilities and lifetimes that vary over wide ranges and take place in a complex, heterogeneous and
crowed environment.
The aim of the meeting is to provide an overview of protein-protein interactions, covering a range of scales: from physico-chemical analysis
to prediction, from binary complexes to large assemblies, from cellular organization to the comparison of different organisms and from
function to dysfunction and potential therapies.
