| Title | Case studies of reactions at the cell membrane: modeling and experiment. - Part II |
| Organizer | Omer Dushek |
| Oxford University | |
| Abstract | Reactions at the cell membrane are frequent because they allow cells interact with the external environment. Critical to the study of such processes are mathematical models that are accurate, efficient, and are able to relate experimentally measured parameter (often ensemble quantities) to model parameters (often between individual reactants). The aim of this mini-symposium is to bring together experimentalists and mathematical modelers to present case studies of reactions involving the cell membrane. Topics covered include: signal transduction across the membrane, recruitment of cytosolic proteins to the membrane, and the mobility and aggregation of membrane proteins. |
