Physics Colloquium: "Order from disorder: Multi-scale computational studies of biomolecular dynamics and phase separation"

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 - 4:00 pm

Abstract:

A third of eukaryotic proteins contain long disordered regions with fluctuating structures that defy the sequence-structure-function paradigm. This prevalence of the disorder and the fact that it is often evolutionarily conserved have suggested critical functional roles. But what are these roles? Recent experiments are finding the ubiquitous presence of mesoscopic membraneless bodies in cells that form via liquid-liquid phase-separation of protein and nucleic acid mixtures. The proteins in these assemblies are frequently highly disordered, with low complexity sequences. Mutagenesis studies show that point mutations in disordered regions can often act as functional switches for various proteins, including enzymes, ion changes, and transcription factors. Disentangling the roles of sequence-specific interactions and environmental conditions on dynamics and phase separation of disordered biomolecules poses significant challenges for theory and experiment. Our group employs multi-scale computational techniques to uncover functional mechanisms of disorder in sensing, adaptation, and self-assembly of biomolecules. I will present our recent findings on disorder-mediated thermal adaptation, protein-RNA phase transitions, and mesoscale modeling chromatin organization during the talk.

Guest Recital: Artu Duo

Wednesday, October 26, 2022 - 6:00 pm

Visiting artists Artu Duo will present a recital. Pianist Garret Ross and cellist Ruth Marshall celebrate their twelfth year as Artu Duo in the 2022-2023 season. Based in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Mr. Ross and Ms. Marshall are on the faculty of the Saint Paul Conservatory of Music, and are the co-directors of Florestan Chamber Music. Artu Duo has completed a residency course on the Beethoven Sonatas and Variations for Cello and Piano at the Banff Centre in Canada, as well as a residency course on the chamber music of Brahms and Schumann at the Aldeburgh Festival in England. These immersive experiences sparked a deep love of the music of Beethoven, Brahms and Schumann in Artu Duo, which has been the foundational repertoire for them ever since. Artu Duo also enjoys performing contemporary and rarely-heard works, including works by historically marginalized composers, and works for mixed chamber ensemble. This event is free and open to the public.
