BIOENGINEERING SEMINAR
Abstract:
Recent computational methods have been developed for designing novel protein assemblies with atomic-level accuracy, yet several aspects of current methods limit the structural and functional space that can be explored. I will share with you our ongoing efforts in diversifying the structural repertoire of protein assemblies using flexibility as a design principle and developing strategies to gain control over assembly dynamics.
Bio:
Alena Khmelinskaia received her PhD in Physics from the LMU München for her research work at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry. She moved to the University of Washington as a postdoctoral fellow before taking up an Argelander Junior Professorship at the University of Bonn. Since 2023, her lab moved to the Chemistry Department at the LMU München, where she holds the W2-t.t. Professorship for Biophysical Chemistry. Her group focuses on the computational de novo design of dynamic and responsive protein-based materials.
