progress in protein synthesis and spectroscopy is a strong motivation
for a workshop focusing on bacteriorhodopsin and its mutants. The
central subject of the workshop is the relation between structure and
photosensitive functions of the BR protein, with special emphasis on
the dynamics, both from the experimental and theoretical point of view.
Adressing a specific community and a well-defined topic, the workshop
will allow for a very informal and direct exchange of information and
ideas.
Topics to be covered include BR synthesis and mutagenesis, X-ray
diffraction, steady-state and ultrafast spectroscopy, as well as
theoretical modelling.
