2SAA Liquid-liquid phase separation and amyloid formation driven by dynamic solution environments

Wed. Nov 15, 2023 8:50 AM - 11:20 AM Room A (Exhibition Room 211 (Bldg. 2, 1F))

Organizers: Sugase Kenji (Kyoto Univ.)、Yoshida Norio (Nagoya Univ.)

共催:学術変革領域研究(B)「動的溶液環境」

In cells, the solution environment is constantly changing due to varying concentrations of chemicals, mechanical stimuli, and electric fields. In recent years, it has become evident that intrinsically disordered proteins, which do not have specific conformations, undergo liquid-liquid phase separation and amyloid fibrillization in response to the ‘dynamic’ solution environment. In this workshop, we invite researchers who are taking various approaches to the effect of dynamic solution environment on protein structure, function, and aggregation and discuss future developments.
