Since 2002 he also is Group leader at the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.<\/p>\n<p>Traditionally the focus of structure modelling has been on predicting the 3-dimensional structure of a single protein chain \u2013 ignoring the fact that the majority of proteins in a living cell exist as part of complexes and quaternary structure assemblies. Frequently, ligand binding sites and enzyme active sites are located between protein chains, and mutations in protein-protein interfaces are often related to diseases. We have therefore developed an approach for comparative protein quaternary structure modelling using an evolutionary interaction fingerprint profile.<\/p>\n<p>For details see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igst.it\/nettab\/2014\/programme\/speakers\/schwede-talk\/\">Torsten Schwede Talk<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<td width=\"120\"><a name=\"Yonath\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nettab\/2014\/files\/2014\/02\/Yonath.jpg\" width=\"100\" align=\"left\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td><b>Friday October 17, 2014, 2:00 PM<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Crystallizing macromolecular complexes: the ribosome<\/b><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nobelprize.org\/nobel_prizes\/chemistry\/laureates\/2009\/yonath-bio.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ada Yonath<\/a><\/b>,<br \/>\nWeizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.igst.it\/nettab\/2014\/programme\/speakers#Yonath\" send=\"false\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"300\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"tahoma\" action=\"recommend\"><\/fb:like>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\nAda Yonath CV and research interests will be added here.<br \/>\nTalk abstract to be added here.<br \/>\nFor details see <a href=\"http:\/\/www.igst.it\/nettab\/2014\/programme\/speakers\/yonath-talk\/\">Ada Yonath Talk<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<td colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\">\n<h2>Special Guest<\/h2>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr align=\"left\" valign=\"top\">\n<td width=\"120\"><a name=\"Capitani\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/nettab\/2014\/files\/2014\/06\/Capitani.jpg\" width=\"100\" align=\"left\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td><b>Thursday October 16, 2014, 12:00 PM<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Understanding protein\u2013protein contacts on a PDB-wide scale<\/b><br \/>\n<b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.psi.ch\/lbr\/capitani_-guido\" target=\"_blank\">Guido Capitani<\/a><\/b>,<br \/>\nPaul Scherrer Institute, Villigen, Switzerland<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<fb:like href=\"http:\/\/www.igst.it\/nettab\/2014\/speakers#Capitani\" send=\"false\" layout=\"button_count\" width=\"300\" show_faces=\"false\" font=\"tahoma\" action=\"recommend\"><\/fb:like>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">\nGuido Capitani is a project leader in the department of Biology and Chemistry at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland and a lecturer in Bioinformatics at the department of Biology of the ETH Zurich.<br \/>\nHe is interested both in protein structure determination by crystallography and other techniques and in structural bioinformatics.
