Presenting in the Poster Session of the 2022 BPS Annual Meeting

1 minute read

The Biophysical Society (BPS) annual meeting is held by the international biophysics society, aiming at leading, disseminating, and advancing knowledge in biophysics.

The BPS 2022 66th Annual Meeting was held on February 19th, 2022 in San Francisco, California.

During this meeting, I presented a poster about the new findings of TMEM16F, including:

  1. A conductive/open state of mTMEM16F induced by inner gate charged mutations was identified during atomistic simulations. (see TMEM16F)
  2. The predicted state is permeable to ions and lipids, which further reveals the ion and lipid pathways (as well as underlying mechanisms) of this protein.

This was a fun trip! All Chen lab members gathered and enjoyed the meeting. We even had a fascinating road trip to get back to MA.
