Olgun Guvench to present poster in South Korea
Olgun Guvench, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, and UNE Pharmacy students Hoang Pharm and Cathy Ng, developed a poster presentation titled, “Conformational Properties of the Glycosidic Linkages in Dermatan Sulfate Versus Chondroitin Sulfate as Determined by Molecular Simulation.”
The presentation discusses how computer simulations are applied to understand the structure of carbohydrates that help cells adhere to each other to form tissues and organs.
Guvench will present this poster at the 9th International Conference on Proteoglycans on August 23–27, in Seoul, South Korea.
