Session: Frontiers in Biophysical Research (2015 SACNAS National Conference)

Thursday, October 29, 2015: 10:15 AM-11:45 AM

National Harbor 3 (Gaylord National Resort And Convention Center)

Chairs:

Silvia Cavagnero, PhD, Dr., University of Wisconsin-Madison and Luis A. Marky, PhD, Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center

Description: This session focuses on the role of intra and intermolecular interactions in biomolecular function.
