He will be bringing virtual reality imaging equipment for demonstrati on and for use by the audience.\n\nInteractive computer graphics has been used for more than 60 years to visualize and analyze 3-D molecular structu res such as DNA and proteins\, and has contributed to the development of m any drugs and\, more recently\, vaccines that are in common use today. Tod ay\, VR headsets enable structural biologists to immerse themselves within these molecules in order to gain a better understanding of how they funct ion. This talk will recount the evolution of interactive molecular graphic s from the early days of calligraphic CRT displays to the current use of V R headsets such as the one shown here.\n\nThe video shows structures from the following article where more details can be found.\n\n"[Cryo-EM struct ure of the SARS coronavirus spike glycoprotein in complex with its host ce ll receptor ACE2](https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.13 71%2Fjournal.ppat.1007236)"\n\nAgenda: \nPresentation and lunch included w ith the registration fee.
