Abstract

In this session, experts in molecular biophysics described the dynamics of biopolymers across a wide range of length and time scales. This discussion highlighted numerous techniques that span from highly detailed simulations, to coarse-grained theoretical models, as well as high-resolution structural analysis. The topics were equally diverse, where there was discussion of biological processes at small (individual atoms), intermediate (assemblies) and very large scales (phase separation).
