20th International AUC Conference

Announcing the 20th International Analytical Ultracentrifugation Conference. This conference will be held in historic San Antonio, Texas, from March 25th through March 30th, 2012. The 20th anniversary of this conference marks the first time this traditionally European event will be held in the United States. The emphasis of this conference is focused on topics related to structure and function analysis of biological and synthetic macromolecules in the solution phase, including:

• solution methods for studying macromolecules
• technical and methodological innovations in solution studies
• innovations in data analysis and hydrodynamic modeling
• high-concentration systems
• aggregation and neuro-degenerative diseases
• chromatin and nuclear complexes
• cross-cutting techniques (light scattering, small angle X-ray and neutron scattering, ITC, SPR, etc.)
• synthetic polymers, colloids, nanomaterials and material sciences
• biological systems, interacting systems and supramolecular assemblies.

The conference will open with several workshops which begin on Sunday afternoon, and end on Tuesday afternoon. A symposium will follow the workshop sessions from Tuesday night through Friday afternoon, which includes a poster session.To visit the official 20th International AUC website:
