Physics Colloquium: Structural Biology of HIV Assembly and Maturation

Date: January 26, 2018 Time: 1:30-2:30pm Location: PSB 160/161 Speaker: Owen Pornillos (University of Virginia) Title: Structural Biology of HIV Assembly and Maturation Abstract: HIV assembles and buds from infected cells in an immature, non-infectious form. Subsequently, proteolytic cleavage catalyzed by the viral protease leads to a dramatic structural rearrangement of the virus particle into a mature …

Physics Colloquium: Quantum Hall Condensates

Date: February 2, 2018 Time: 1:30-2:30pm Location: PSB 160/161 Speaker: Bruno Uchoa (University of Oklahoma) Title: Quantum Hall Condensates Abstract: Superconductors are states of matter where electrons can flow without any dissipation. Quantum Hall states on the other hand are insulating states of matter created by the application of a magnetic field, which quantizes the energy of the electrons moving …
