Event details
The bacterial protein BslA forms a protective, hydrophobic layer around B. subtilis biofilms. In isolation, BslA assembles into a film at air/water or oil/water interfaces. Here, I will present our recent experimental and computational work aimed at characterising essential protein-protein interactions within the film.
About Condensed Matter lunchtime seminars
This is a weekly series of informal talks given primarily by members of the institute of condensed matter and complex systems, but is also open to members of other groups and external visitors. The aim of the series is to promote discussion and learning of various topics at a level suitable to the broad background of the group. Everyone is welcome to attend..
