DESCRIPTION

The workshop on “Single-Molecule FRET of Non-globular proteins” will specifically focus on discussing three major topics: (i) set the best-practices to generate, curate and store single-molecular FRET (smFRET) experimental data; (ii) smFRET data analysis and interpretation; (iii) to build the basis for establishing a FRET database.

Leading experts in single-molecule FRET field and integrative approaches (such as molecular simulations) will join to discuss the current challenges and approaches on the following topics: 

  1. Reliability and accuracy of smFRET experiments (Efforts from FRET community)
  2. Data Analysis – from globular to non-globular proteins (IDPs) and dye models
  3. Conformational dynamics
  4. Integrative-structural modelling (molecular simulations)
  5. Data deposition (Minimum Information Required) and models (softwares)
