Description
Exploring the Wonderful World of Cell Membranes: Proteins, Lipids, and Ions, Oh My!
Chris Chou, Longmont High School
In this hands-on interactive workshop, participants will learn how to utilize physical phospholipid and transport protein models to explore the structure of the cell membrane, the role of transport proteins in moving ions and small molecules across membranes, and how defects in transport proteins can cause diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
Potassium Channels & Scorpion Toxins
Tim Herman, PhD, 3D Molecular Designs
Discover how the structure of different membrane-embedded protein channels allow for selective transport of specific ions and molecules. Then, learn how scorpion toxin acts as a neurotoxin to inhibit the potassium channel.
