Third Biological Diffusion and Brownian Dynamics Brainstorm: BDBDB3

Aim and Scope

Following on from the previous two BDBDB meetings (BDBDB and BDBDB2), the goal of BDBDB3 is to provide a forum for intensive discussions about the state-of-the-art in Brownian Dynamics simulations of biological macromolecules and related methodologies. The topics we plan to cover include measurements of macromolecular diffusion, calculation of binding rate constants, membrane diffusion and association, colloids, nano-particles, and surface-protein interactions, macromolecular crowding, hydrodynamic interactions, macromolecular dynamics and flexibility, and approaches to multi-scale simulation. Participants will include theoreticians and experimentalists.

Speakers will be encouraged to present work in progress and discuss speculative ideas.
