Howard Flack Crystallographic Lecture Series 2021

The Howard Flack crystallographic lecture 2021 was a bit special, since we had six speakers from all over Switzerland giving us an insight about how crystallography can help in biology.

Lecture 2

Bioinspired materials for functional foods

Prof Stefan Salentinig (University of Fribourg)

Lecture 3

Role of water molecules and networks in ligand binding and oligomerisation of the bacterial extreme acid resistance system transporter AdiC

Prof. Dimitrios Fotiadis (University of Bern)

Lecture 4

Plant signal transduction cascades – from atoms to phenotypes and back

Prof. Michael Hothorn (University of Geneva)

Lecture 5
