Example Abstract
DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF PROTEIN MACHINES
A. N. Other, S. Else (1) and M. E. Too (2)
1 Department of Chemistry, University of York, YO10 5DD UK; 2 Instutute for
Nonotechnology, Futureville, USA
Building on our method for the design of protein machines (Too et al, 1999;
Popular Nanomechanics 27:201-205) we describe large scale production via an
autocatalytic, self-organising assembly pipeline.
Posters: The poster boards are 1m wide by 2m, so participants
should endeavour to keep the important parts in the top 1.2m.
