[May 8th 2019]: Atomic simulations of conduction across ion channels

Simone Furini (University of Siena) May 8, 2019 – 11:00 AM DIISM, Artificial Intelligence laboratory (room 201), Siena SI Description Ion channels are membrane proteins that control the fluxes of ions across cell membranes. In order to perform their biological functions, these proteins need to select the different ion species with high accuracy. For instance, […]
