The 71th annual meeting of the American Crystallographic Association Annual Meeting will be held virtually from July 30-August 5, 2021.
A session on the Structural Biology of Infectious Diseases will be held on Tuesday, August 3.
They invite scientists to submit abstracts for oral presentations in the session. Topics can include a variety of subjects such as structural studies of pathogenic, viral or bacterial proteins, macromolecular complexes, and structure-based drug design and vaccine development. Studies using a variety of structural and complimentary methods are welcome.
They also encourage early career scientists such as postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, and undergraduates to submit abstracts for an oral presentation. This is an excellent opportunity to present your research to the structural science community and to interact with leading scientists in the field.
Abstract submission deadline is this SUNDAY, May 23, 2021.
Abstracts may be submitted online
4.1.5 Structural Biology of Infectious Diseases Tuesday, 8/3/2021 @ 12-3 PM EDT Sponsoring SIG: Biological Macromolecules Co-Sponsoring SIGs: Cryo-EM and Industrial
This session will focus on the structural basis of host–pathogen interactions and the application of structural biology to combat infectious diseases. Possible topics include, but are not limited to, structural studies on viral, bacterial, and fungal proteins and their mechanisms of action or interactions with host cell molecules, receptors, and antibodies. Structure-based vaccine and antibody development is also of interest.
