Abstract
In this session, six invited speakers presented their innovative research to investigate the structure and dynamics of bacterial and archaeal supramolecular assembly systems. They explained their research from the perspective of bacterial genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, cell biology, microscopy imaging, and molecular dynamics simulation. The session started with a section on the mechanism of pilus assembly in cyanobacteria. It then moved on to surface architecture of a nano-sized archaeon, bacterial flagellar protein export and assembly, flagella-driven motility in bacteria and other unique assembly systems. The session highlighted significant accomplishments in the field and also presented a variety of outstanding challenges.
期刊介绍：
Biophysical Reviews aims to publish critical and timely reviews from key figures in the field of biophysics. The bulk of the reviews that are currently published are from invited authors, but the journal is also open for non-solicited reviews. Interested authors are encouraged to discuss the possibility of contributing a review with the Editor-in-Chief prior to submission. Through publishing reviews on biophysics, the editors of the journal hope to illustrate the great power and potential of physical techniques in the biological sciences, they aim to stimulate the discussion and promote further research and would like to educate and enthuse basic researcher scientists and students of biophysics. Biophysical Reviews covers the entire field of biophysics, generally defined as the science of describing and defining biological phenomenon using the concepts and the techniques of physics. This includes but is not limited by such areas as: - Bioinformatics - Biophysical methods and instrumentation - Medical biophysics - Biosystems - Cell biophysics and organization - Macromolecules: dynamics, structures and interactions - Single molecule biophysics - Membrane biophysics, channels and transportation
