<b>The abstract deadline is October 17, 2023, this MONDAY.</b> <span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 12pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif">We invite group leaders,
graduate students, and postdocs to join us for a symposium at the 2023 ACS
National Meeting, this March 26-30, 2023. Our symposium is titled “Frontiers of
Structural Biology in Complex Environments” and is intended to bring together
experts in experimental and computational approaches to biomolecular structure
to discuss contemporary challenges and solutions in the field. <br>
<br>
The symposium description is at the end of this message and the link is below.
We have plenty of space for promoted talks. Please forward this to anyone you
feel may be interested. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting!<span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Palatino Linotype",serif"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Decades
of careful experimentation and analysis by biophysical chemists have formed a
foundation for contemporary scientists to understand the structure and function
of proteins in the incredibly complex environments of living organisms. Recent advances
in experimental and computational approaches have made it possible to describe
and predict the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomolecular
assemblies in complex environments in vitro, in situ, in cells, and in the
extracellular environment. Despite these exciting advances, many challenges
remain in integrating techniques and approaches that span multiple time and
length scales, and in understanding how atomic level changes drive functional
biological outputs in the cellular environment. The symposium will bring
together experimentalists and theorists who apply cutting-edge methods to determine
the structure of biomolecules at or near atomic level precision in such
environments. Speakers will discuss recent progress in the field and future
challenges in the areas (1) atomic resolution studies of large complexes, (2) biomolecular
condensation, (3) in situ studies in cell and cell-like environments, (4) in
vitro cellular environments, and (5) biophysical experiments in multi-cellular
environments.</span></p>
