关于加州大学河边分校吴建中教授学术报告的通知

报告题目：Modeling viral fugacity in vitro and in vivo吴建中 加州大学河边分校教授Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering，University of California, Riverside时间：2009.9.8（周二）下午 2:30地点：浙江大学玉泉校区教八107报告简介: Packaging and release of genomic materials from a viral capsid are intimately related to strong electrostatic interactions among a large number of biomacromolecules in a crowded cellular environment. Because the biological process involves multiple time and length scales, it is a formidable task to describe viral activity and replication from a molecular perspective. In this talk, A theoretical procedure will be presented for predicting the molecular driving forces of genome packaging and ejection for a DNA virus and for a para-retrovirus at in vivo and in vitro conditions. The potential of coarse-grained methods will be discussed for quantification of nonspecific multi-body forces important for understanding the molecular basis of viral packaging and morphogenesis.近期代表论文：J.
