WORKSHOP ON MOLECULAR MOTORS

December 1st - 5th, 2008

Brasília-DF

  Directors:

  Bechara Kachar (NIH, Bethesda, USA)

H. Moyses Nussenzveig (Department of Physics, UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

Oscar N. Mesquita (Department of Physics, UFMG, Belo Horizonte, Brazil)

Molecular motors are proteins that have essential roles in all steps of cell
metabolism and development. With the help of optical tweezers, their
properties have been studied and also their functioning mechanism, in many
cases within the space of a single molecule.

The Workshop goal is to present mini-courses and seminars about the physics
and biology of molecular motores, study methods and relationship with
cellular activity, especially motility, as well as the most recents results
in this particular area.
