Building molecules that mimic biological function

If you have a question about this talk, please contact .

The lecture will explore how concepts of molecular shape, symmetry and dynamics can be used to invent designed solutions to challenges that much more complex biomolecular systems have solved through evolution – a sort of ‘molecular biomimicry’. Topics to be discussed will include the communication of information through changes in molecular shape, and directional movement fuelled by redox reactions.

Talks are priced at £4 for non-Scientific Society members. Scientific Society members will have free access to all our talks. Lifetime membership costs £15 and gives free access to all talks, members-only events and priority access to oversubscribed SciSoc events.
