Dr. U Deva Priyakumar presented a paper on What do urea-assisted protein unfolding, urea transporters and damaged DNA with urea lesions have in common? at the Telluride Science Research Center (TSRC) Workshop on Protein Dynamics in Les Houches, France during 27 May – 1 June. This international workshop is a forum for presenting and discussing results from state-of-the-art experimental approaches (including optical spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, XFELs, electron microscopy, atomic-force microscopy and scattering methods), and theoretical and computational methods to studying protein dynamics.
