The 4th Prague Protein Spring meeting on the subject "Proteins and their Design" is approaching. This theme has been in the spotlight for a few last decades and range of designed proteins increases every year. We would like to reflect not only theoretical and experimental points of view, but we aim to focus on proteins designed for medical purposes associated with diseases or for their biotechnology utilization. The major goal of PPS 2016 meeting is to propose a discussion on the current progress in protein design field and anticipate the future direction of this fascinating discipline of protein science.
We succeeded to recruit great speakers who made significant contributions to the field of protein science and specifically on the protein design subject as well as talented young scientists at the beginning of their careers. See Scientific Program.
