3rd International conference on structure, dynamics and function of proteins in biological membranes.

The conference was arranged for the third time and consisted of lectures given by the leading researchers in membrane proteins field as well as poster session. The topics of the conference covered the structure and function of ion channels, electron transfer proteins, transporters, receptors, and aquaporins. Such proteins were described at the atomic level, as well as in the context of the native membrane. Large scale expression and engineering of membrane proteins for structural analyses were discussed. Further topics concerned progress in 2D and 3D crystallization of membrane proteins, X-ray and electron crystallography, atomic force microscopy and NMR.
