The Many (Polymeric) Faces of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

This 13-minute conference talk by Saikat Chakraborty explores "The Many (Polymeric) Faces of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins" as part of the 10th Indian Statistical Physics Community Meeting organized by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Presented at the Ramanujan Lecture Hall in ICTS Bengaluru, this talk contributes to the annual discussion meeting attended by scientists, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students working in statistical physics. Discover insights into how intrinsically disordered proteins can be understood through polymer physics frameworks, connecting to broader meeting themes including biological physics, soft matter, and complex systems. The conference covers diverse topics from quantum fluids and condensed matter to interdisciplinary applications in networks, epidemics, and social phenomena, fostering an inclusive environment that encourages participation from underrepresented groups.
