ProgramI.6 -- Invited, IWTCP-3 Date: Tuesday, 28 July 2015 Time: 08h30 - 09h05 Energy transduction and dissipation in biomolecular motors and pumpsGerhard Hummer Department of Theoretical Biophysics, Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, 60438 Frankfurt am Main, Germany (Email: Gerhard.Hummer@biophys.mpg.de) We have used molecular dynamics simulations and statistical mechanical theory to characterize the molecular mechanisms of biological energy transduction processes in the proton pumps cytochrome $c$ oxidase and complex I, and in the coupled rotary motors of F$_o$F$_1$-ATP synthase. These biomolecular machines efficiently interconvert chemical, electrostatic, and mechanical energy. Simulations and reduced physical models highlight their key mechanistic elements and shed light on the function of the bioenergetic machinery. Presenter: Gerhard Hummer |
