Title:                Physics-Based Simulations of Protein Conformations


Many important phenomena in molecular biology, such as protein folding,
protein-ligand binding, and protein allostery, involve conformational
changes of proteins.  Physics-based simulations are commonly used for the
study of protein conformations, but many problems are still out of reach of
such simulations and call for original algorithmic solutions.  In this talk,
I will lay out some of the theoretical challenges and present my new method
"deactivated morphing" that is robustly applicable to conformational changes
of arbitrary complexity.
