Govindraju JNCASR, Bengaluru IPS Satellite Symposium: Indian Peptide Society, New Delhi cordially invites all concerned to attend Satellite Symposium to be held on 21st February 2014. The event will focus its deliberations on structure of peptides, structure-activity relationships, peptide-protein interactions, combinatorial chemistry, molecular modeling of peptides, peptide drug discovery, peptidomimetics and analytical & biophysical techniques in peptide/protein research. The lectures shall also include exploitation of specific conformationally restricted nonnatural / unusual amino acids for designing biologically relevant peptide structures. The computational approaches offer quick way to design peptides while reducing time and resources. The Satellite Symposium will encourage young research students/Ph.D. scholars and scientists to participate and share the achievements in peptide research and development through Oral Presentations. There will be awards for best Oral Presentation for the achievements in peptide science by prominent personality(ies) who have contributed in the field of peptides.
