Mathematical Biology seminar: "Control of membrane-bound tethered signaling reactions"

Samuel Isaacson (Boston University)

4:00pm - 5:00pm David Rittenhouse Laboratory, A6

Many membrane-bound T cell receptors have long, unstructured cytoplasmic tails that contain tyrosine sites. These sites can serve as regulators of receptor activation when phosphorylated or…
