Dear colleagues,

you are welcome to the KFN Neutron Webinar on


    The many ways of biosystems for coping with extreme conditions


      Prof. Dr. Judith Peters
      Université Grenoble Alpes, ILL, France

      Friday, 28 November 2025, 11:00 - 12:00 CET

Meeting-ID: 691 7311 3803
Passcode: 592502

Life as we know it from our close environment corresponds to very narrow 
windows in external conditions, be it for temperature, pressure, pH, 
salinity or others. As they are suitable to the well-being of humans, we 
call them "normal". Nonetheless, a plethora of living systems cope with 
harsh conditions on Earth, in the oceans or the Earth crust and are well 
adapted to such conditions. Understanding their adaptation mechanisms 
gains more in more in importance to permit a better knowledge about the 
origin of life, modeling the impact of climate change on flora and 
fauna, establishing theoretical boundaries for life, and optimizing 
medical applications as thermal based treatments for cancer. Neutron 
scattering is a well suited tool to disentangle various structural and 
dynamical elements allowing biosystems to withstand conditions hostile 
to life. Such studies can be combined with complementary laboratory 
methods and simulations for an in-depth picture. Based on research over 
the last years, we will present new insights into temperature and high 
hydrostatic pressure adaptation and remind the impact of crowding and 
co-solutes on biomolecular function especially under extreme conditions.
