The interest group session will be composed of talks ranging from mid-career to new investigators. Networking opportunities will be provided at the end of the session. The research to be presented will be focused on the structure-function of enzymes essential to cellular function, cellular regulation, and relevant to human health and disease. Techniques and cutting-edge research include X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM, NMR, enzyme kinetics, enzymology, and protein engineering. Attendees will be exposed to a diverse panel of researchers performing cutting-edge science. Participants will gain insights into how some scientists use combined structure and engineering approaches to elucidate key enzymatic processes of cells. New investigators will also leave with insight related to their careers and respective fields through a Q&A session related to research, diversity, inclusion and promotion.
