Beauty Lies Within: The art of protein structures
Marc Chagall once said “Great art picks up where nature ends”. As most of would agree, nature is art at its purest and earliest form, evident through the natural composition of the earth and wonders of the solar system. However, nature extends beyond the beauty that is seen, felt or heard with the boundaries of our senses, a dimension that is beyond the capabilities of the naked eye. The goal of this lecture is to take the audience through a journey of art where they will discover the world of protein structures, introducing a new meaning to the art of nature. The hope is that the audience will leave the lecture with a renewed sense of appreciation for the phrase: “beauty lies within”.
