SUMMARY:Exploring the Conformational Search Leading to Protein Folding
  in Vitro and in the Cell\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Silvia C
 avagnero\, UW-Madison\, Dept. of Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Proteins are key components of all living cells and their 
 correct in vivo function is intimately connected to the well-being of 
 every living organism. The large conformational freedom of a protein c
 hain and its structural complexity suggests that understanding folding
  mechanisms and predicting protein structure from amino acid sequence 
 may be dauntingly difficult. What have we learned from the studies car
 ried out on protein folding mechanisms over the last three decades\; a
 re there any leading trends\; and how do these trends change (or are p
 redicted to change) for proteins folding in the cellular environment\,
  where a lot of the relevant parameters are dramatically tuned by vari
 ous cellular components? This talk will attempt to address some key as
 pects of the above topics and highlight research directions in crucial
  need of further exploration.<br>
