Multiscale Motility of Biomolecular Machines

Biomolecular motors are the driving force behind many essential processes of life, they transport cargoes in cells, process the genetic information and power cell motility as well as developmental processes. Their functions are based on movements on many time and length scales, ranging from the sub-molecular to the cellular scale. This three-day symposium will highlight recent advances in the study of their function and their dynamics. The central topics of the meeting are Transport by cytoskeletal motors Information-processing by polymerases and ribosomes Molecular machines in cell movements and other processes
