In this lecture I will show how we are using structural biology techniques and molecular dynamics simulations to study tip links and to provide a detailed view of the first molecular steps in inner-ear sensory transduction.   Link to recorded talk: https://osu.zoom.us/rec/share/eJGyx8GOqZhFqteBbRaAf9aVxNpKGpNR1CWyHkGI8fBtuqO46uUugvagi_dDh6mb.Ppc20T7EG-GZAOnF Zoom webinar Department of Physics physics@osu.edu America/New_York public
