Prof. Ernst Rank and the TUM-IAS team invite the scientists of TUM and their guests for coffee each Wednesday! Just come over to the TUM-IAS after lunch between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. and have a coffee with us, meet other scientists and listen from time to time to a short talk (10-15 mins) on a recent major TUM publication or issue – aimed specifically at a non-expert audience.
On November 8, 2017, Prof. Matthias Rief (Molecular Biophysics) will talk about the use of “optical tweezers” to unveil the secret behind the cohesion of muscles (TUM press release).
Relevant Publication:
M. Grison, U. Merkel, J. Kostan, K. Djinovic-Carugo, and M. Rief, “α-Actinin/titin interaction: A dynamic and mechanically stable cluster of bonds in the muscle Z-disk”, PNAS, January 31, 2017, vol. 114 no. 5 – doi: 10.1073/pnas.1612681114
We look forward to seeing you there!
