Intermolecular Associations in 2D and 3D

University of Nottingham

19 - 20 June 2003

Biochemical Society Focused Meeting

Joint Meeting with The British Biophysical Society

Online registration has now closed, if you wish to register please contact meetings@biochemistry.org (telephone: ++44 (0) 207 580 3481)

Proceedings will be published in Biochemical Society Transactions

Interactions between molecules underpin the whole of biological science both in "2D" as in membrane systems, and in "3D" or aqueous systems. Our ability to understand these interactions is ever increasing as new techniques are developed alongside exciting advances with more traditional techniques. The meeting to be held at the University Park Campus of the University of Nottingham, will bring together experts in the techniques used to probe intermolecular interactions, and those applying them to specific biochemical systems.

The meeting falls naturally into 3 related sections:
Structure and Spectroscopic Probes
Hydrodynamic and Calorimetric Probes
Application to Specific Systems
