DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Xiang-qiang Chu (City University of Hong Kong)\n\nTh
 e roles of quantum effects in biological functions have long captivated bi
 ophysicists. Meanwhile\, proteins execute intricate spatiotemporal motions
  that are widely believed to govern their biological function and activiti
 es\, yet the potential quantum mechanical underpinnings of these dynamics 
 remain poorly understood. Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) provides
  uniquely powerful tools for studying the dynamics of proteins in the time
  range of picoseconds to nanoseconds at the molecular level. This talk wil
 l present our recent work on diverse biological systems studied by QENS an
 d other neutron techniques\, including inelastic neutron scattering (INS)\
 , small angle neutron scattering (SANS)\, and neutron spin echo (NSE). We 
 will further discuss how these techniques can be leveraged to reveal the q
 uantum mechanical phenomena\, such as tunneling effect in the dynamics of 
 proteins\, and to establish their connections to protein activities or bio
 logical functions.\n\nhttps://indico.frm2.tum.de/event/655/
