Seminar TiItle:
“Structure and dynamics of protein assemblies via NMR spectroscopy: Analysis of the HIV core”

Presented by: Dr. Marvin Bayro, UPR-RP

Abstract:
High-resolution studies of large protein assemblies require the development of new atomic-level techniques. In this presentation, I will describe nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods for the elucidation of structure and dynamics of highly complex protein assemblies. I will cover recent studies on the structure of the HIV capsid core, a critical assembly in the viral infectivity cycle. I will also describe cutting-edge instrumentation available in the Molecular Sciences Research Center at UPR and the current scientific objectives of my research group.
