[3AS-09]【J】Multi-level understanding and functional regulation of neurotransmitter receptors: From atoms to living organisms

Fri. Dec 5, 2025 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM JST
Fri. Dec 5, 2025 12:00 AM - 2:00 AM UTC
Room 9(Pacifico Yokohama Conference Center 4F, 411+412)
Organizer: Shigeki Kiyonaka (Nagoya University), Atsuko Yamashita (The University of Osaka)
Advances in cryo-EM and AI-based structure prediction have advanced our understanding of neurotransmitter receptors at the atomic level. In addition, progress has been made in dynamic analysis, such as high-speed AFM, to complement such static structures. In addition, functional regulation methods including chemical biology have also advanced. In this symposium, we will discuss such current situations and their perspectives.
