302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Predict the Ligand-Receptor Binding/Unbinding Kinetics with the Variational Implicit-Solvent Model and the String Method Abstract: The ligand-receptor binding/unbinding is a complex biophysical process in which water plays a critical role. To understand the fundamental mechanisms of such a process, we have developed a new and efficient approach that combines our level-set variational implicit-solvent model
Colloquium – Xiaofeng Ren, George Washington University
Topic: Non-hexagonal lattices from a two species interacting system Abstract: A two species interacting system motivated by the density functional theory for triblock copolymers contains long range interaction that affects the two species differently. In a two species periodic assembly of discs, the two species appear alternately on a lattice. A minimal two species periodic assembly

231 Gordon Palmer HallApplications of Atomic Force Microscope in Biological and Biomedical Research Abstract: In this seminar, two examples will be presented to illustrate how a modern instrument, atomic force microscope (AFM), can be applied to solve challenging problems in the biological and biomedical field. In the first example, AFM was used to perform nanoindentation on viruses to
