Professor Adam Lange and Dr. Han
Sun of Leibniz-Gemeinschaft Berlin Research Institute paid a visit to SKLEOC on
November 1st, 2016. They respectively gave lectures titled “Atomic
Structures of Bacterial Molecular Machines by Solid-State NMR” and “From
Stereochemistry to Gating Mechanism of K2P Channels: Integrated Studies using
NMR Spectroscopy and MD Simulations” at the Lecture Hall of the Institute of
Elemento-organic Chemistry.
Prof. Lange is an outstanding young scientist in the field of biological
solid-state NMR, and won the “International Biological Magnetic Resonance
Creator” medal in August, 2016. In his report, he made a clear-cut explanation
on important applications of solid-state NMR in bacterial flagellin and the
structural analysis of membrane proteins. His talk also stressed on the functions
of various types of biophysical technologies in the analysis of macromolecular
biological functions.
Dr. Han Sun is an expert in molecular dynamics simulation. In her report, Dr. Sun introduced the applications of residual dipolar coupling (RDC)
and molecular simulation approaches in the determination of the configuration
of natural products through NMR. Subsequently, he gave an account on the
studies of the actions of object and receptor in the ion channel through
molecular simulation.
Brief introduction of Professor Lange:
Prof. Adam Lange has been long specialized in the studies of solid state
NMR of proteins. With over 100 publications, he was cited more than 2800 times.
Over the past decade, Prof. Lange released more than 30 publications on world
first-class journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, P.N.A.S., Nature
Communications, Accounts of Chemical
Research, J.A.C.S., and Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. For his
outstanding contributions in the field of solid state protein NMR, Prof. Adam
Lange was awarded the Founder’s Medal at the 27th International
Council on Magnetic Resonance in Biological Systems (2016).
