Biological Chemistry

The "Biological Chemistry" track at our distinguished conference. This track stands as a beacon for professionals immersed in the intricate interplay between biology and chemistry, offering a platform to delve into the fundamental molecular mechanisms underpinning life and disease.

Key topics covered in the Biological Chemistry track include:

1. Molecular Basis of Cellular Function: Journey into the heart of cellular biology, exploring the molecular machinery that orchestrates vital processes such as DNA replication, transcription, translation, and cellular signaling.

2. Protein Structure and Function: Unravel the structural intricacies of proteins and their dynamic functions in cellular processes, from enzymatic catalysis to molecular recognition and signal transduction.

3. Metabolic Pathways and Regulation: Navigate through metabolic pathways that sustain life, from glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation to biosynthetic pathways, and elucidate the regulatory mechanisms governing metabolic homeostasis.

4. Enzyme Kinetics and Mechanisms: Illuminate the catalytic prowess of enzymes through the lens of kinetics and mechanisms, dissecting the intricate dance of substrates, cofactors, and active sites that underlie enzymatic reactions.

5. Biochemical Signaling Networks: Explore the intricacies of cellular communication networks, including signaling cascades mediated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and growth factors, and their implications for physiology and pathology.

6. Structural Biology and Drug Design: Peer into the world of structural biology, uncovering the three-dimensional architecture of biomolecules through techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy, and its applications in rational drug design.
