Zoom webinar

Date Range
2020-11-24 15:45:00 2020-11-24 16:45:00 Colloquium - Marcos Sotomayor (The Ohio State University) - Molecular Mechanics of Hearing Inner-ear sensory perception begins when “tip links”, fine protein filaments essential for hearing and balance, pull and open ion channels to elicit transduction currents. 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 America/New_York public
