2010 Annual Meeting

Session: Thermophysical Properties of Biological Systems II

The focus of this session is the study of complex processes in biological systems. Contributions from theoreticians, simulators, and experimentalists are welcome. This session is focused on hydrophobic and water-mediated interactions.
