MGMS Lecture Tour

MGMS Lecture Tour 2011 given by:

Professor Dr Tim Clark

Professor of Theoretical and Computational Chemistry at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen- Nürnberg, Germany,
and
Director of the Centre for Molecular Design at the University of Portsmouth.

Protein:DNA Interactions and Signal Transduction
School of Pharmacy, London (14th September 2011)

"The School was delighted to host Professor Tim Clark on the 14th September as part of his MGMS Lecture Tour. Professor Clark delivered an excellent lecture entitled "Protein:DNA Interactions and Signal Transduction", covering classical MD or Repressor and Activator Systems, which gave an insight in to one of many Professor Clark's field of expertise.

The Lecture was very well attended by a variety of staff and students from The School of Pharmacy, UCL, Birkbeck, King's College, Imperial and Kingston University, many of whom, although not familiar with the molecular modelling field found the lecture informative and inspiring."

Structurally Persistent Micelles and the Hofmeister Series
University of Nottingham (15th September 2011)

Protein:DNA Interactions and Signal Transduction
University of Manchester (16th September 2011)

"The Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre was pleased to host Professor Tim Clark on 16 September as part of his MGMS Lecture Tour. While we were torn between all three of Professor Clark's seminar topics, we elected to hear his presentation about Protein-DNA interactions which pleasingly contained elements of all three. Other topics regarding Hofmeister effects on micelles and Semiempirical MO Theory were left for separate discussion in the morning and over a buffet lunch at the end. In his seminar, he explained the subtle roles of electrostatic interactions between proteins and DNA and how these are affected by the presence of ions, not to mention the accuracy of the force field. The seminar was attended by about forty people from across the University, dominated by the computational community. It demonstrated the substantial inroads that computer simulation is now making concerning biological function."
